Where to Stay in Dalat ? – Hotels

Let’s look at this Map :

Dalat is a very popular destination as a week-end excursion, especially from Saigon (it is hot in Saigon and cool in Dalat). During the Tet feast (New Year holiday) Dalat is a very popular destination for people from all over Vietnam and the hotels are fully booked and expensive and the streets are very crowded.
Unless you choose to visit Dalat during the Tet feast, you should have plenty of hotels at your disposal, at a low price.

After you see on this page, the optional zones to stay, you can book a room for Dalat with Booking.com and read opinions of travelers for each place.

Option 1 : Stay in the City Center, around the Market

Marked as Zone 1 on the Map above.

The market is the most central point in Dalat. The market is especially live in the evening.

The streets above the market are the “center” of Dalat. The best restaurants are here and also the nightlife of Dalat. Here are located most of the hotels and here is where you should stay if you want to be able to walk instead of using some transports, in the evening.

In some zones, the Hotels are located one beside the other. A lot of choice.

If you are looking for a special experience, there is the hotel Crazy House. It is one of the tourist attractions of Dalat and at night, you can sleep in one of the special rooms. The place is close to the center.

I have never slept in this hotel, but I have visited the attraction many times, and I would choose to sleep in the bear room.

Option 2 : Stay near the City Center, across the Bridge

Marked as Zone 2 on the Map above.

This zone is not too far from the market (the center), you only need to cross a bridge. You can reach the center by foot in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the hotel location.

This zone is a little bit elevated (a little hill) so you may need to climb some stairs to your hotel (in some cases).

Of course that the area is close to the lake :

This zone is close to “Lam Vien” square, which is a very prominent place on the lake.

The zone is also close to some tourist attractions like the “crazy house” and the old train station. Overall, this is a pleasant zone to stay.

Option 3 : Stay near the Cable Car station

Look at the following Map :

The cable car (that goes towards “Ho Tuyen” lake), is one of the best attractions of Dalat.

There are some hotels around the cable car station

and the scenery around is that of nature

The cable car station is only 2 Km from the center so it is easy to arrive here. I usually walk this distance on the way back to the city, but it is also very easy to use a Taxi (Smartphone App Grab) or a rented motorbike.

One of the hotels near the cable car station is Doi May Tuyet Hotel. It is a very nice hotel.

The rooms have curves

And the view is wonderful

There are some pleasant cafés and restaurants around the cable car station. Also, the central bus station is at a walking distance.
There are hotels also along the main road that go to the city center. Some of the hotels with great view.

Option 4 : Stay in the Nature, at some distance from the Center

The scenery around Dalat is very nice. There are lakes, there are hills and there are strawberry fields.

You may prefer to live far from the city and stay in the nature.  One possible zone to stay is around “Ho Tuyen Lam” lake.

It is a big lake, about 8 Km from the city. In fact, the lake is one of the main attractions of Dalat, the cable car takes to this lake. There are some resorts around the lake (and also cheaper options).

Of course that it is better to have a rented motorbike if you live far from the center (otherwise, you need to call a Taxi or use the transport offered by the hotel).
