Gò Lào Waterfall Tours

Very pretty, clean boutique hotel. Beautiful decor, comfortable room with beautiful view, large bathroom, excellent cleaning service. Breakfast was simple but was very delicious. Staff and all service members were friendly and polite. Excellent location, just outside of the main core of the city in a dead end street so it is very quiet yet walking distance to everything downtown where you can take rail car up the mountain to Fansipan.

The location was excellent and the room was comfortable for our one-day stay. Ms.Jenny was very kind and helpful, assisting us in booking tickets for the water puppet show before our arrival, and providing us with an early check-in.

The rooms and pool were very nice, but I was overall a little disappointed with the stay considering this is a higher end property with a 5 star rating. My review for this would be higher if they weren’t more expensive than the other options. It was a case of overpromising and underdelivering. I picked this hotel because of the amenities and wanting a mountain retreat type feel. The pool bar and skybar were never open, which was disappointing since they were big selling points. The entire skybar area was closed too. The only open one was the lobby bar, which really didn’t have a good atmosphere since it’s line the checkin area. My room was right over the Fansipan bus pickup, so it wasn’t very picturesque in the room. With the advertised amenities not existing, we ended up going out more but there was no where to walk (no bars, restaurants, local trails), so we had to take cars into main Sa Pa. The Expedia distances said it was a 10 minute walk to Sa Pa, but it would’ve been an hour and on very unsafe roads.
