8/10
So glad I booked the balcony room at Panorama hotel. The views are simply stunning. I had requested a high floor, if possible, and we were given 8th floor & the view of surrounding mountains & township was spectacular. The room was very comfortable with usual hotel amenities... kettle, tea, coffee, bottles of water, soaps, shampoo, comb, toothbrush & toothpaste. Could have done with some washers & hand towels though. We only had towels & bath mat. Breakfast was good, with nice clean surrounds. Probably could have had more food options. Hotel had emailed me beforehand re information on trekking tours. We did the 6 hour,12km trek which hotel arranged. Very happy we did this. We are a couple up in their 60's, but thankfully kept up with the other 4 youngies. Our guide was also very good, explaining how all different local groups go about daily life. Beautiful scenery of mountains, valleys & rice terraces. Lunch included. Sapa township is very quaint, quite European in appearance. Plenty of taxis, Grab as well & local bus which goes back & forth every half hour from Lao Chai, where train station is (little over an hour on local bus on return trip). You will see many women selling their wares in town square... be prepared for many following you & wanting to sell.
