The location of Hoang Ha River Town Hotel is excellent, nestled near a thriving river stream amidst many locals and a charming coffee shop. The hotel is also located close to the city's walking street, which is hard to miss. The room itself was spacious, and the beds were so comfy! We were able to have a balcony view and admired the starfruit growing on the trees, along with the river canal view and locals biking by. I highly recommend renting a motorbike to explore the beautiful parks around. The hotel staff were very kind; we enjoyed drinking tea with them, and they even helped us with an injury we had. Additionally, we were able to leave our belongings in the lobby after check-out as we wanted to explore the city for the day before our bus to Hanoi. Honestly, I can't recommend Hoang Ha River Town Hotel enough. If you're ever in Yen Bai, make sure to book a stay here. I know I'll be coming back here on my next trip!

First, the facilities: absolutely beautiful traditionally built bamboo houses which come with amenities such as a hot water shower and clean water toilets. The house is surrounded by a tranquil well maintained garden that is hidden from the rest of the busy town that lets you relax on the various garden patios in peace. The place also sells e.g. Coffee, smoothies and breakfast, which all I found good. All facilities were in super clean condition which I liked alot as well. Second, the staff: they were incredibly polite and helpful. The lady working at the place speaks good english and knows a lot about what to do in the region, including bus transport, good restaurants, and sightseeing. It is also possible to rent a scooter for e.g. Daytrips. Personally I booked the scooter to go see Thac Ba lake, and it was one of the highlights of my trip in Viet Nam. For me Yen Bai and the surrounding region were a great pitstop when travelling from Sapa to Hanoi. The areas are beautiful and the town itself is interesting for exploring for an afternoon / full day. It is also not visited by many tourists, which made it an authentic experience of rural Viet Nam for me (especially after the crowded Sapa). However, with so few tourists, there is not much information on anything, no scooter rentals on the street, and no tour guides. This is why I was so pleased about staying at Dinh Gia Trang while at Yen Bai; not only was the accomodation pleasant, but also the helpful staff gave me recommendations and guidance which unlocked the full potential of visiting the otherwise unknown region.

A truly unforgettable stay! The space is filled with natural light thanks to the many large windows, making it feel fresh and airy all day long. The bathroom is impressively spacious, and the kitchen—wow—is the most unique and charming one I’ve ever seen. Everything here is thoughtfully designed and full of creativity. You can really feel the care and love that went into every detail. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I left feeling inspired and completely refreshed. Highly recommended!

Unique place. Etc and her wife did an amazing place where you feel totally good. It's like a retreat, an artsy place and quiet.

The room is comfortable and private. There are 3 beds in the room. The towels are provided which is really nice. There is a bathroom with hot water. You can even do your laundry as they have a washing machine and a dryer. The owners are so friendly and helpful. They made me feel right at home and treated me like I was part of the family! The food is amazing! You can eat fish from the lake or vegetables and fruit from the garden (there are meat options available too but I don’t eat meat) Everything is clean and organic. Ha helped me with everything I needed she is really sweet. I recommend this place as it is really clean, quiet and affordable. You can experience the Vietnamese culture.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had to give it a six star rating as it was the best stop I have had in many weeks. The family are all lovely and make you feel right at home, and the food is some of the best meals I have eaten in Vietnam 😋😋 and I had vegetarian food, especially prepared each evening and more than I could eat.the property is as New and the room and bathroom are both in fantastic condition 😀 a very comfortable bed ,and free tea and coffee, and filtered well water. I would not hesitate in saying make a detour to stay you won't be disappointed. And I spent most evenings having an enlightening conversation with the host.

Good and comfortable for a quick overnight stay en route to Sa Pa. Please note that the property is not on Google Maps and the coordinates given on Booking.com to copy are incorrect. Look up “Chợ Đá Quý Yên Bái” on Google Maps and that is where the guest house is.

A super friendly accommodating stay! Happy to help wherever was possible.

Staff was great, the place is beautiful!
