Da Lat accommodation

When touring through Vietnam, Da Lat was easily one of our favourite places to visit.

It has so many cool sites, as well as a much colder and more bearable climate.

The town itself is pretty busy and hectic, but don’t worry, there are plenty of places to stay in Da Lat will help you escape the noise and find peace and comfort.

As it’s been a popular tourist destination for years now, finding great accommodation in Da Lat isn’t hard.

In fact, the hardest part of deciding where to stay in Da Lat will be sorting through all of the options!

So, to help you out here’s what I believe to be 9 of the best places to stay in Da Lat this year, with the ideal options for all budgets.

But first ...

Should you use Booking.com or Agoda for accommodation in Da Lat?

When visiting anywhere in Asia, not just Da Lat, I would always recommend Booking.com as your prime search tool for accommodation. Offering a vast array of hotels of any budget and requirements, Booking.com not only offers accommodation in Vietnam but globally. 

You could consider it your guide to booking your next place to stay in any of your travels. Its review database is extensive and will help you compare properties in a matter of seconds.

Their extremely convenient mobile app will allow you to search, manage and revise your bookings with great speed and efficiency. Its link to Google maps will show your existing bookings directly on the map which will be helpful when making your way to the property or planning your trip.

At the same time, I highly advise checking out Agoda, who have a really modern and easy-to-use site, as well as another great feature called Agoda Cash.

This gives you cash back on selected properties, which you can then accumulate and take off future bookings.

To guarantee the best rate, before making a booking I recommend checking out your property on both Booking.com and Agoda to see the best rate.

To make that easy, for every property below I've gone ahead and included a link to both Agoda and Booking.com.
