Aliana is close yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main town (10 minute walk). The rooms were spacious with amazing views of the mountains (including Fansipan). Pool was a lovely addition after trekking up Fansipan or through local villages. We left slightly bemused after being charged for a dirty towel, but other than that would recommend.

Aliana Boutique Sapa Hotel - Quiet and Beautiful
Our amazing Sapa experience would not have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else. The Aliana Boutique Sapa Hotel started with a warm welcome and an upgrade to a fantastic suite (Thanks to Aliana and Hotels.com for perk) with a spacious balcony overlooking rice terraces, the funicular, Cat Cat Village and whether permitting, Fanispan Mountain. The suite had a lot of space and was serviced well. The breakfast buffets in Vietnam seem hard to beat, and at the Aliana Boutique, they offer "cook to order" dishes included with the buffet. My partner perfected the banana pancake that came with chocolate sauce, by topping it with a fresh banana and other sauces. I have to say that not only was it the best pancake in Vietnam, but possibly, the world. Staff were a well-groomed team, and they reflect well on their management. They worked together to make the experience at Aliana Boutique Sapa Hotel a perfect place for a visit into the Vietnamese hills.

Excellent Hotel Stay
Very good service staff (particularly Lien Chau and Lien Nguyen) at the reception and the restaurant respectively. Both were polite, attentive, very helpful and pleasant. Overall a beautiful hotel at the top of a hill, easy walking distance to the town, not far from Sun Plaza where we took the train to cable car station. Just don't go to the peak on a public holiday as the queue is horrendous. We waited 5 hours just to get to the top!

What a pleasant stay at Aliana! I was upgraded to a suite with such a nice view Sapa mountains. I was also given a late check out. Definitely will stay here again when I'm back. One point to note is that the property is located further in and beside an old property that is run down. Be careful when you walk in towards Aliana. Since this is not controllable by Aliana, so just take note. (:

Staff were friendly and welcoming as soon as you step foot on the property. Rooms were extremely clean. And views from the rooms were excellent. Breakfast and dinner at the in house restaurant was amazing as well. Bit of a trek to the city centre if you're walking via incline and construction zones but otherwise a short cab ride. I believe they're rated 3 star hotel (correct me if I'm wrong) but provide 5 star hotel service!

짙은 안개 외에 모든 것이 완벽한 호텔
호텔 시설, 직원 서비스, 객실 청결도 등 모든 것이 완벽한 호텔이었습니다. 다만, 방문 당시 짙은 안개로 객실 테라스에서 보려고 했던 멋진 풍경을 체류기간 내내 하나도 볼 수가 없었던 점이 아쉬웠네요. 사파는 9월에 방문하는 것이 가장 좋다는 게 리셉션 직원의 조언이었습니다.
