Chronicles of Da Lat
Da Lat was founded in 1907 by French colonialists, who were drawn to the region's mild climate and natural beauty. The city's architecture reflects this history, with a mix of French and Vietnamese influences in its colonial-era buildings. Da Lat has since become a popular destination for Vietnamese tourists and honeymooners, with a thriving cultural scene centred around its many cafes, art galleries, and markets. The city's Lake Xuan Huong is a tranquil oasis, surrounded by walking paths and scenic overlooks. Da Lat's annual Flower Festival, held in March, is a major draw for visitors.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dalat Top View, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's 3-star rating suggests it's well-maintained but not necessarily soundproof. The Ngô Thì Sĩ street is a relatively busy road, and being higher up will help reduce street noise. Additionally, the hotel's 2 lifts serve all 8 floors, so you're likely to have a shorter wait, regardless of which floor you're on.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they're closer to the street and may be noisier. Also, rooms near the lifts (e.g., those on the second floor) might experience more noise from the lift's operation.
Best views
The hotel's address on Ngô Thì Sĩ street means rooms on the higher floors (3-8) will offer views of the surrounding cityscape, but it's not a high-rise hotel, so the views won't be spectacular. You might catch glimpses of the nearby hills or the city's low-rise buildings.
Quietest floors
3-8
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Ngô Thì Sĩ street, especially if you're on the first or second floor. The hotel's location is in the heart of Da Lat, so you'll be close to shops, restaurants, and other attractions, but this also means some noise from the street and nearby establishments.
Insider tips
Request a room with a window that faces away from the street to minimize noise. Even if it's not directly on the street, you'll still get some natural light. Take advantage of the hotel's location and walk to the nearby Xuan Huong Lake, which is about a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. It's a beautiful spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 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.
