Banyan Boutique by 5H

Nice room and design!

We came to stay for two nights and ended up staying 5 nights. This hotel is a hidden gem. You are tucked away from busy Da Lat traffic in a hidden oasis, which is not exactly in the center but in very close walking distance to, e.g., the night market. The bungalows are placed in a beautiful garden and everything is most beautifully decorated- inside and outside. Also the staff was very helpful- we actually communicated via messenger, e.g., for driver arrangements, and it worked out perfectly. Very responsive and supportive. Minor drawbacks were that they don‘t serve breakfast and that water pressure isn‘t always good. Also, walls are a bit thin. We were staying in the Garden View Double Room. But all of that didn’t really make our stay less beautiful and relaxing. Absolutely recommend!

Charming, elegant a quite quirky hotel with comfortable and spacious rooms. The hotel is in an excellent location.

We stayed here recently for the second time in four years--albeit accidentally! The place is charming, lovely, really feels like a getaway and we were excited to be back. But walls are paper-thin, so pray for quiet neighbors. And it's annoying that there is no agreement or discount with the adjacent restaurant, and that there is no breakfast available even if you want to pay the restaurant's high prices. Note that there is no heat in the rooms--but the beds are warm--and that sometimes the outside lights are left on all night, which is not so great when the curtains don't cover the windows. (Our first night was both noisy and bright, but the next two were ok.)

We had the best stay at Banyan Eco Lodge. It was a bit further out from the main cafe’s/shops, but easily walkable. The room was spacious and comfortable and so relaxing. There was other areas around the gardens to sit and unwind also. While in Vietnam it was a nice experience to wake up to birdsong instead of bike and car horns for a change! Would definitely recommend to others.
