La propiedad — TAY Backpackers
TAY Backpackers sits on a quiet alley off Da Lat’s central ring road, a three-storey guesthouse with a corrugated-iron roof and a communal terrace spilling with potted ferns. The lobby is modest: polished concrete floors, a stack of Lonely Planets on a shelf, and a receptionist who knows the bus timetable by heart. It’s built for budget-conscious solo travellers and small groups who want a clean bed, decent Wi-Fi, and easy access to the night market without hostel noise.
Crónicas de Da Lat
Da Lat was founded in the 1890s by French colonial doctor Alexandre Yersin, who recommended the highland plateau for a hill station. The city grew as a summer retreat for Indochina’s elite, and its French-built villas, Art Deco railway station, and Gothic cathedral still define the skyline. After the 1910s, the colonial administration laid out the central lake and pine-forest parks, giving Da Lat a distinctly Alpine-Vietnamese character. Today it’s a domestic honeymoon favourite and a base for treks to Elephant Waterfall and Lang Biang Mountain, with a thriving coffee and avocado farming economy.

Guía completa de Da Lat →Los mejores meses
December to March: dry, sunny days with cool evenings, clear skies for hiking, and fewer domestic tourists than the summer peak.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak domestic tourism because of school holidays and the Da Lat Flower Festival (usually in late December, but July sees a mini-festival with flower displays). Hotel prices double or triple; TAY Backpackers’ dorm beds hit full occupancy by mid-June.
La temporada del hombro
April and October offer mild weather, light rain, and half-peak prices – best for budget travellers willing to chance a short afternoon shower.
Tiempo y embalaje
Da Lat’s climate is subtropical highland: 15-25°C year-round but can drop to 10°C at night. Pack a waterproof jacket and a warm sweater – you’ll need both in the same day.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to TAY Backpackers, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing away from the street. These are quieter and get better light, avoiding ground-level bustle.
Rooms to avoid
Skip rooms on the ground floor or near the reception/stairwell. Ground-floor rooms pick up street noise and foot traffic from the hostel common areas.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing away from the main road offer views over Da Lat's surrounding hills or neighbouring rooftops—nothing spectacular, but a pleasant outlook.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, farthest from street-level noise and common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Da Lat's streets, especially near budget hostels, have motorbike traffic and occasional street food vendors. The hostel's own common area on the ground floor can generate chatter until late evening.
Insider tips
1) Check in early (before 2pm) to secure a top-floor room, as these go first. 2) Ask about a room at the back of the building—quieter, away from the street-facing side.
- 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

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.

💡 Head to the back alleys for cheaper banh trang nuong (Vietnamese pizza) – look for the ladies working over small charcoal grills, not the touristy stalls. Bring cash, small denominations.
💡 Come at sunset for the best light on the buildings and fewer crowds. The food court inside has clean toilets and free wifi – useful for a pit stop.
💡 Visit during mass on Sunday morning (around 7am) to hear the organ and choir – it’s open and welcoming. The small garden behind has good views of the city rooftops. Closed 11am–2pm.
💡 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.
