Sapa

It was a great experience. The bed was comfortable to sleep on. Unfortunately, the air conditioner suddenly stopped cooling at night. Fortunately, it recovered after I reported it. There was no water in the toilet in the morning, as if it had run out.

We took an 11-passenger limousine bus directly from Sapa to our Hanoi hotel. There are night trains and buses, but since we had a small child and luggage, we immediately booked a car to take us from our Sapa hotel to Hanoi. The 11-passenger limousine bus had very comfortable, individual seats, which was nice. However, the four seats (excluding the VIP seats in the middle and the two seats next to the driver) were standard, which was uncomfortable. While the price is reasonable, it's probably worth spending an extra 10,000-20,000 won for the VIP seats if possible. The back seats were really bumpy, so I didn't experience any motion sickness, but those who do might find it difficult, even with medication. The two seats next to the driver were particularly cramped. Since it wasn't a private space, it was fine for my child and me, but it was too cramped for two adults. The front seats, however, didn't rattle at all. And I didn't know Hanoi drove so slowly.. They drive at 70-80 km/h on the highway.. I was surprised.

I received a discount from KKDAY and used it right away. There were no issues at all. Make sure you can see the Pansipan summit on the morning of your purchase. On foggy days, you may not be able to see it well.

The hotel is a 4-star hotel with clean rooms, beautiful views, and a generous breakfast. The local staff were attentive and friendly. Overall, the service was excellent and the value was great. The only exception was that the cable car was not included, but the local staff bought the tickets for me.
