Unbelievable Dalat Hotel Apartments: Vietnam's Hidden Gem!
Unbelievable Dalat Hotel Apartments: Vietnam's Hidden Gem! - Or, Did I Just Find Paradise? (Ramblings of a Tired Traveler)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because I just got back from, well, a place. Unbelievable Dalat Hotel Apartments. And let me tell you, the name is almost right. Let’s break down the "almost" later. First, I gotta gush. This place… it’s Dalat, Vietnam, and if you're not already Googling pictures of rolling hills and pine forests, you should be. It's a complete goddamn change from the sweltering heat of some other Vietnamese spots. We're talking cool, crisp mountain air, and the kind of foggy mornings that make you feel like you’ve fallen into a postcard.
So, Unbelievable Dalat Hotel Apartments. My expectations were… cautiously optimistic. I've stayed in enough "hidden gems" that turned out to be dusty cellars to know better. But this place? This place actually delivered.
Let's Get the Logistics Over With (Because Nobody Likes the Boring Stuff):
- Accessibility: Okay, I didn’t test the accessibility to its fullest potential (thankfully, I’m a spring chicken still!), but I did see elevators, and the layout seemed pretty promising for wheelchair access. Definitely worth checking specific room details if this is a must for you. But from what I could tell? They're trying.
- Internet: Wi-Fi everywhere? Tick! Good, strong Wi-Fi? Double tick! Free Wi-Fi in every room? Triple tick! Seriously, I was able to stream movies in bed without that annoying buffering circle of death. Glorious. Also, they HAD wired LAN ports. Like… blast from the past! I felt so nostalgic I almost used it.
- Cleanliness and Safety: Alright, here’s where they REALLY shine. This whole experience felt like a bubble of sanity! Everything was spotless. Seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection? Check. Hand sanitizer stations EVERYWHERE. Staff trained in safety protocol? Check. (And actually doing it, not just going through the motions.) Rooms sanitized between stays? You bet your sweet bippy! Look, I'm not a germaphobe, but the peace of mind was immense. Just knowing they were taking precautions… it made the whole experience so much more relaxing. They even had that whole hygiene certification thing going on. Whatever it takes, right? Safe dining setup too - all the right stuff.
- Services and Conveniences: They have EVERYTHING. Like, seriously, EVERYTHING. Concierge? Yep. Laundry service? Yep. Dry cleaning? Yep. Luggage storage? You guessed it. There’s even a convenience store on site, so when you get that midnight craving for instant noodles (because… Vietnam), you’re covered. They provided an invoice! I mean, I'm not made of money, but I like my expense reports to be organized.
- For the Kids: I don't have any little rugrats myself, but I saw a lot of families there. Babysitting service? Check. Kids' facilities? Seemed like it, though I didn't investigate. Family-friendly? Absolutely. This place feels safe enough to let the little ones roam a bit, and they won't be bored, I assure you.
Now, The Good Stuff: (Food, Relaxation, and, Oh Gosh, Is That a Spa?)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (Let's talk food!): Ah, the food. This is where things get really good, folks. Breakfast? You have options galore. Asian breakfast (pho, anyone?) was delicious, of course. Western breakfast, too, if you're feeling homesick. But the buffet… oh, the buffet. A buffet of deliciousness, with an array of choices. I loaded up on fresh fruit every morning. Seriously, I swear I ate my weight in mangoes. (Okay, maybe not, but it felt like it.) Restaurants on-site offered both Asian and Western cuisine. I'm talking serious food coma potential. Plus, a pool-side bar! Happy hour? Absolutely. I will only admit to how many Banh Mi I may have gotten a hold of.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: (Spa Day, Anyone?): Okay, this is where the “hidden gem” part really comes into its own. They have a fitness center (I, uh, didn't go. I was too busy eating mangoes), a sauna, a steam room, and a swimming pool, but OH MY GOODNESS, the spa! The spa was a dream. Massages? Check. Body scrubs? Check. Body wraps? Check. Seriously, I spent a day there and emerged feeling like a new person. The pool with a view? Stunning. Just… stunning. You could literally spend an entire day just relaxing and being pampered. I almost never write a review (honest!) but this time… I had to. (I needed to share the love!) The Foot bath was amazing! Seriously, I recommend this place! You will not want to leave.
Available in All Rooms: Every room, which they are calling apartments, has everything! Air conditioning (THANK GOD), alarm clock, bathrobes (yes, please!), bathtub (yes, please!), Blackout curtains, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, desk, extra-long bed (finally a bed I won't fall out of!), free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, Internet access (LAN and wireless), ironing facilities, mini bar, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, shower, telephone, towels, wake-up service, Wi-Fi (free), window that opens. I believe they even had a toaster and a blender. It felt a little bit more luxurious than the other resorts.
Okay, the "Almost" Part (Because Nothing's Perfect, Right?)
Look, nobody's perfect. This hotel isn’t either. The "almost" part is this: the decor, while lovely, is maybe a touch… conservative. A little more funky artwork, a little less… beige, and it would be perfect. Also, and this is a REAL nitpick, the coffee at breakfast could have been a little stronger.
My Verdict?

It's perfect for couples, families, solo travelers… anyone who wants a break from the chaos and a taste of pure, unadulterated chill.

Unbelievable Matsuyama Family Getaway: Himerakuen's Epic Group Adventure!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to go on a chaotic, opinionated, and definitely-not-perfect trip to Dalat, Vietnam, based around the Hotel Apartments Dalat. And let's be honest, that's the only sane thing you can do in Dalat, and I'm just being dramatic.
Dalat Debacle: A Messy Itinerary (with a Heavy Dose of "Why?!")
(Disclaimer: This is based on my utterly biased, slightly neurotic, and easily-distracted approach to travel. Your mileage may vary. Probably should.)
Day 1: Arrival and "Oh Dear God, It's Cold!"
- Morning (or, What Felt Like Morning After 2 Flights): Land in Lien Khuong Airport (DLI). Okay, the airport is… quaint. Let's call it that. Grab a pre-booked taxi to Hotel Apartments Dalat. Crossing my fingers it's not a total dump. I've seen the reviews… but hey, it's cheap, right? And the pictures looked kinda cute. (Famous last words.)
- Anecdote: The taxi driver, bless his heart, drove like he was personally auditioning for a Formula 1 race using a scooter. I swear, I saw my life flash before my eyes approximately 7 times. Note to self: learn some Vietnamese phrases about "please don't kill me."
- Afternoon: Hotel Apartment Check-In and Immediate Panic: The hotel… eh. It's not the Ritz, but it's clean-ish. The view from the balcony? Potentially stunning, if the building next door wasn't literally kissing ours. Unpack. Shiver. Dalat is FREEZING. Seriously. I packed for tropical weather. This is a betrayal. Find my warmest sweater (if I can find which bag I packed it in first, haha).
- Quirky Observation: Why are all the electrical sockets in Vietnam so ridiculously low to the ground? Am I supposed to be permanently crouched to charge my phone? This is a design flaw of epic proportions.
- Evening: Local Food Scramble and Desperate Attempts at Warmth: Explore the "night market" (aka, the street leading to the lake. It's so pretty!). Find a pho place (pho bac is the best. Period.). Order, and eat. Discover that Vietnamese chili is FIRE. Regret. More shivering. Locate a banh mi stand. Gobble it down. Still cold. Conclude that Dalat needs to invest heavily in central heating. Like, yesterday.
- Emotional Reaction: I'M COLD! I'm hungry! I'm slightly regretting my life choices! But… the pho… oh, the pho… Maybe it's worth it. Maybe.
Day 2: Coffee, Crazy Houses, and a Very Long Walk
- Morning: Wake Up, Caffeine Overload, and Lake Xuan Huong, the center of the universe: Find the best coffee near the hotel! This is a non-negotiable. Dalat coffee is supposedly legendary. Evaluate. Decide if the coffee is the best on earth. (Spoiler: potential for perfection for coffee!). Find some local streets nearby.
- Opinionated Language: This coffee better be the best damn coffee in the world to make up for the fact that it is cold. I want it strong, I want it dark, I want it to taste of pure, unadulterated deliciousness, or so help me…
- Afternoon: HANG NGA CRAZY HOUSE. THIS IS EVERYTHING!: Okay, so this place is bonkers. Truly bonkers. It's like Dr. Seuss designed a house… on acid. Climb through tunnels, explore rooms, take a million photos. Get lost. Feel like a kid. Spend hours here. I'm not kidding. Hours.
- Doubling Down on Experience - The Crazy House Obsession: Okay, real talk. The Crazy House wasn't just a "tourist attraction." It was a mind-bending, architectural adventure. I wandered in and out of secret passages, climbed staircases that defied gravity, and felt utterly disoriented in the best possible way. It's like the architect, Dang Viet Nga, somehow managed to build a physical manifestation of pure imagination. I even found myself giggling uncontrollably at some of the more outlandish features (like a chimney that looks like a giant giraffe). I didn't want to leave. I actually considered just moving in.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: A Looooong Walk Around Lake Xuan Huong: Decide to walk around Lake Xuan Huong. It seemed like a good idea at the time. It's pretty. It's also a long walk. My feet are screaming. Find another pho place or a grilled pork chop spot.
- Messier Structure/Rambling: Okay, maybe I underestimated the distance. Or maybe I'm just perpetually out of shape. Either way, my legs are screaming. The air is crisp, the lake glistens, the street vendors are selling… everything. Ice cream. Corn. Roasted sweet potatoes. Everything to tempt me from my goals. Eventually, fall in a restaurant. The food is worth it.
Day 3: Elephant Falls, Waterfalls, and Unfulfilled Promises of Adventure
- Morning: The Elephant Falls Fiasco: Hire a motorbike (or grab an Easy Rider tour, if I'm feeling less adventurous - maybe too adventurous at the moment). Drive to Datanla Falls (or should I say, ride to the falls.). The waterfalls are cool, I guess. But the commercialism is a bit much. So many selfies. So much noise. Find Elephant Falls. Get a bit lost. Realize I'm not as adventurous as I thought. The falls are pretty. But I was expecting…. more.
- Emotional Reaction: The Falls of Disappointment. I spent a good chunk of this day at the falls. I was so ready to be awestruck, to feel a primal connection to nature. And while they were nice, the falls felt… underwhelming. Maybe my expectations were too high. Maybe I just wanted a truly dramatic waterfall experience. Perhaps it's me.
- Afternoon/Evening: Back to the Hotel and Plans for Early Departure (Maybe): Return to the hotel. Eat some more pho (duh.). Re-evaluate my life choices. Consider extending my stay. Consider leaving early. The cold is wearing me down. The lack of central heating is a tragedy. Consider how to leave. Oh god. Should I go to another city? Is it worth. Oh the choices.
- Opinionated Language: The weather in Dalat is ridiculous, The lack of proper heating borders on criminal. I need to find a place in the south, somewhere with actual sun! I feel like I am living in Antartica! And I want to go to the beach.
- Day 4: Departure:
- Morning: Wake up, pack, and leave. See you later, Dalat.
Remember: This is my version. Your Dalat experience will be different. Maybe you'll love the waterfalls. Maybe you'll embrace the cold. Maybe you'll find the best banh mi, the most perfect coffee, and your own personal Crazy House obsession. Embrace the chaos! That's the fun of it. Don't plan too much, embrace the imperfections, and just… go.*
Bonn's BEST Hotel? President Western Review & Secret Perks!
Alright, spill the beans! Is Unbelievable Dalat Hotel Apartments REALLY "unbelievable"? Or is that just marketing fluff?
Okay, buckle up, 'cause this isn't gonna be a perfectly polished travel brochure spiel. "Unbelievable"? That's a bold claim. Let's just say it teeters on the edge of believable. My first thought? "Oh, great, another Instagram trap." And yeah, the photos are *stunning*. Think crisp air, those crazy French colonial vibes Dalat is famous for, and these apartments just...swooping in like they belong. But… the *unbelievable* part? The details. Those little touches like the crazy-comfy bed that swallowed me whole after a day of trekking, or the balcony view that had me practically levitating with my morning coffee. It wasn't *perfect*, you know? There was that one time the hot water decided to take a permanent vacation (more on that later). But the overall FEELING? Yeah, it’s pretty darn close to "unbelievable" in the best possible way. It's that feeling you get when you stumble on a secret.
What's the vibe like? Is it a party place, or a place to hide from the world?
Okay, picture this: You're in Dalat. Everyone seems to be in love, and that's probably what the apartments want you to feel too. It’s chilled. Totally chilled. There’s no thumping bass keeping you up all night. Thank GOD. Think morning coffee on the balcony, maybe some quiet reading time, the gentle breeze whispering through the eucalyptus trees. It's *definitely* geared towards people who want to disconnect, recharge, and actually *breathe* the mountain air. I'd describe it as more 'romantic getaway' with friends or a 'find yourself' solo trip vibes, rather than “spring break on steroids" type of place. That’s what Dalat is for you know, right?
The apartments themselves... are they actually nice? Or just Instagram-pretty?
"Instagram-pretty" gets thrown around a lot, right? And honestly, yes, they ARE. But they're not just *surface*-pretty. They have this... *soul*. It wasn't just the crisp white sheets (and the aforementioned bed, seriously, I'm still dreaming about it), or the giant windows that let light flood in. It's the way they've managed to blend modern comfort with that quintessential Dalat charm. Each apartment felt unique, like it had its own little personality. I'm a sucker for a good balcony, and the ones here? *Chef's kiss*. If I could, I'd give them a 10/10. Wait, now I’m sounding like marketing again. Let me tell you my apartment story!
Tell me about the amenities! (Free Wi-Fi? Gym? Pool? Room service?) And do they work?
Alright, let’s get practical. Wi-Fi? Yes, and it's actually pretty decent. Enough to stream a movie, which is crucial because let's be honest, sometimes you just want to be a couch potato and binge-watch Netflix after a day of exploring. Gym? Nope. Pool? Sadly, no. Room service? *Technically* yes, but it's more about the staff coordinating with local restaurants to deliver to your door -- which is fine, because you can order up some fantastic Pho, right? Also, they provide you with a tiny package of local-made cookies, which are good! However, I wouldn't recommend relying on it in an emergency.
Okay, the food. Is breakfast included? And if not, what's the deal with eating in Dalat?
Breakfast isn't *included*, which, for the price, is a minor bummer. But Dalat is a *foodie's paradise*, so consider it a blessing in disguise! There are a million little cafes and street food stalls within walking distance, serving up everything from delicious *banh mi* to steaming bowls of pho. Ask the staff for recommendations! They're usually spot-on. I had one breakfast that was so good, it actually made me forget the earlier hot water ordeal (more on that later, I swear!).
Location, location, location! How far is it from… everything?
The apartments are a little outside the immediate city center, which, honestly, is a *good* thing. You get the peace and quiet. You can still walk to a lot of places, and it's an easy, cheap taxi or Grab ride to all the main attractions. It was great for me, because I really wanted to escape the noise. Being able to return to relative quiet was a relief. You can get anywhere in 5-10 minutes. It's a win-win.
About that hot water situation… what’s the deal? Spill the tea!
Alright, fine. The hot water. Here’s the unvarnished truth: One morning, I turned on the shower, expecting a nice, steamy blast of warmth. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Cold. *Freezing* cold. I had that initial, panicked “Oh god, what have I done?” moment. I called reception, they were super apologetic, sent someone up immediately, and… it was fixed within 30 minutes. Okay, maybe not *unbelievable*, but certainly pretty impressive. It was a minor blip, really. But it added a touch of realness. Nobody likes a perfect story, right?
Any hidden fees or sneaky surprises?
Nope, nothing that I noticed! The price you see is pretty much what you get. No hidden resort fees, no extra charges for stuff like towels or whatever. They are extremely honest and straight-forward.
Who should stay here? And who should probably look elsewhere?
Stay here if: You appreciate detail. You love a good view. You want a relaxing escape. You don't mind a little bit of "rustic" charm (like when the hot water decides to run away for a bit). You are a couple, a small family, or a solo traveler looking for a peaceful getaway. Skip it if: You need to be in the heart of the action 24/7. You're a party animal. You demand absolute perfection (because, let's be real, that doesn't exist). Or if you expect to lounge by a pool all day. Basically, if you want a more 'hands-off' luxury experience, youSearchotel
