🚐 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.
Da Lat bus station (Ben xe Da Lat) → Any central stop near Binh Yen Hotel
💡 Routes 1 and 3 pass near Binh Yen — ask the driver to let you off at 'Cau 2' (Bridge 2) stop. Buses are cramped and often packed with students, so avoid peak hours (7–8 am, 4:30–5:30 pm). Have small notes ready.
