The floors with elevators are likely to be the higher floors, making it more convenient to access the upper floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift on the lower floors (1-2) as they may be noisier due to the proximity to the street and potential foot traffic.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location on Phan Đình Phùng doesn't offer any notable scenic views, but rooms on the higher floors may have a view of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Anywhere in Da Lat (including airport or city) → Binh Yen Hotel or any local point
💡 Download the Grab app in advance and link a card — data signal can be spotty in the hills. From the city centre to Binh Yen, expect about 25–30,000 VND. For airport trips, Grab is often 30% cheaper than street taxis, but wait times can be 10–15 minutes if the driver is coming from the city.
Da Lat Airport (DLI) → Binh Yen Hotel, Da Lat city centre
💡 Use Mai Linh taxi (green) or Vinasun (white) from the official rank. Avoid drivers who quote a flat rate without the meter — typical metered fare runs 160,000–200,000 VND depending on traffic. Airport pick-up area is small, so walk to the rank if you can.
Da Lat Airport (DLI) → Da Lat city centre (Nguyen Van Troi roundabout)
💡 The bus drops you at the roundabout near the market, which is a 10–15 minute walk to Binh Yen Hotel uphill. If your flight lands after 5 pm, take a taxi — the bus stops running. Cash only, exact change if possible.

💡 Go early morning before 7am to see mist rising off the water. Rent a swan pedal boat for 50,000 VND (around £1.60) if you want to get out on the lake.
💡 The museum is free but unstaffed – ask at the guard gatehouse for the key. The campus canteen serves a decent bowl of pho for 20,000 VND (65p). Weekdays only.
