Great hotel, great location, great staff
Luxury backpacker hotel was a great place for me and my girlfriend to stay. The host Linh was very helpful and kind, she upgraded our room for free and even helped us book a discounted tour for the Ha Giang loop. She gave us great recommendations for things to do on different days and meals to try. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!
