Dalat Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Being a long thin country, the journey from North to South Vietnam is a wellbeaten track and it's only until you get to Na Trang that you have todecide whether to head inland (for the mountains) or further down the coast. We opted for the mountains, partly to escape the heat and humidity. We had read a bit about Delat in the guidebooks, it is th...

The journey from Nha Trang to Dalat is on 6 hours by bus so get the 7 am bus and it arrives at 1.30pm. all the guide books say that is place looks just like the alps and they are not wrong, the scenery is amazing. The town is really lovely but larger than i imagined. As usual the Vietnamese people are so welcoming and i find a bargain of a room ...

Apparently Da Lat is where many Vietnamese go for their honeymoons. It's called the European Vietnam... and known for its cooler climate due to its elevated position - so instead of the landscape we were used to in the tropics, it was defined by mountains covered in pine trees, and farms full of flowers, strawberries and other fruit, and tea and...

After a quick exit from Nha Trang we took the 7 hour bus journey up into the mountains from the Vietnam coast to the city of Dalat in the central highlands. Its an old French city renowned for its vegatable growing and also as the honeymoon capital of Vietnam. Its not what I would call a beautiful city so I dont know where the honeymoon thing co...

another 8 hour bus journey through coffee fields, evergreens and mountains, we arrived in the town of dalat. at approx. 5000 feet, we felt the relief of the cool mountain air. a welcome relief after roughly 2 months of constant heat. there was a nice large lake near the town center with swan paddle boats, lots of bicycles for 2 and several unive...

Dalat is the bestest! It's referred to in guidebooks as 'land of eternal spring' for a very good reason!!! The climate is always ideal: never too hot, never cold, just temperate and comfortable, with that 'gentle breeze' and plenty o' sunshine and big white fluffy clouds to cover the sun when you start to feel a little burning. It's just perfect...

Dalat is in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and gave us a chance to explore some of the more mountainous areas of the country. The cooler climate there was also a pleasant change, and there was a chance that a jumper might even be required! Having found ourselves a lovely hotel (at $7.50!) we found ourselves being repeatedly accosted by "Easy R...

It takes forever to get anywhere in Vietnam... Dalat is only 300km away from Ho Chi Minh City, yet it took us 8 hours by bus to get there, mainly because we had to share the road with cycles, bikes, pedestrians, goats, and other pieces of barely mobile scenery. This slowed the trip considerably, and I'd finished the book I was reading, "Heart of...

Today is Amber's birthday, happy birthday sweetie! Sorry I couldn't be there to join in on your special day but I hear you will be having a very special birthday dinner which is on me of course! Enjoy! Dalat: Raining, boring and a lot of churches. I decided to be "different" and not take the Easy Riders tour like everyone else. It's a day tour i...

Dalat is really cool - literally! It has dropped about 10oC from what i have become accustomed to and so i had to get my fleece out! It took an eternity to get here which seems to be the case on busses in Vietnam. Once i arived they typically dropped us at a resort but i had a look around and i got a good deal. $5 including hot water and shower ...
