Topas Ecolodge
This accommodation is home to what many consider to be the best bungalow in Sapa. The resort is actually home to 25 stylishly designed bungalows in the Hoang Lien National Park.

Cat Cat View Hotel
This good value hotel at the edge of Sapa and on the road towards Cat Cat Village offers the best views in Sapa with close proximity to the town.

Breakfast in the seventh floor restaurant is also a treat.
Sapa Garden Bed and Breakfast
