Villa Pink House: Interesting...to say the least!
Arrived at the doorstep of this hotel after a 5.5hr long bus journey from Mui Ne. This is a family run hotel claimed by some local businessmen to be the Vietnamese version of the Mafia but I can't say that we experienced anything other than friendliness and professionalism from the minute we arrived. Our room was absolutely huge and in generally good condition (a little dusty). The main drawbacks were that it was 3 flights upstairs and the wi-fi didn't work for the duration of our visit!
Breakfast was the biggest disappointment - banana bread literally consists of a banana...and yes, you guessed it...a giant baguette roll...without benefit of butter! And tea/coffee with condensed milk! Took some getting used to!
Since we arrived in the evening, the hotel owner 'Rot' suggested a local restaurant down the hill called Vinh Loi which was ok for us and we did eat there a couple times. Hygiene in this establishment does carry a question mark and could cause a problem with those who have a delicate disposition...
The location is great with exception of the giant hill that one must climb to get home - but town is close by.
And yes, it is a giant pink building...
Unique Quality: Rot, the owner, had tendencies to be a little creepy but actually provided an exceptional day out for us on his tailor-made private moped tours out into the Da Lat countryside. A great excursion, although long and very tiring, this remains one of the finest experiences for us in Vietnam. All in all, a 120km long round-trip through local markets, a huge waterfall, coffee plantations, meeting a tribal minority community and eating noodles at a farmhouse.
It is a very long day out starting at 7am and getting in past 5pm if you're lucky. One of our party had a puncture on the way and we had to wait for them (on a motorway...) which invariably meant we ended up driving back in the dark. This was horrific because Vietnamese driving is awful at the best of times and at night it is just downright dangerous. Being overtaken or incessantly hooted at by trucks and cars without/bad lights on, our own lights were poor and Rot refused to fill up our full tanks which resulted in a couple of people running out of fuel as well...serving only to delay us even more! We could have done without that last hour of stress but that aside, a very good and educational day out.
After the trip and an opportunity to freshen up, Rot insisted that we all attend dinner at a restaurant which he highly recommended and which we were led to believe was an authentic Vietnamese place...but it was westernised and expensive. This was a shame.

Ngoc Lan Hotel: Reasonably priced, great location
This is a local large hotel right in the centre of Da Lat. While it is probably at the upper end of the price scale for locals, it's considerably cheaper than the Sofitel in town. It's no grand hotel, but it was quite good enough. The Lake-view Superior room was huge with two double beds, a huge bathroom, and a separate entrance room/seating area. The small balcony looked directly over Xuan Huong Lake. We had no complaints about service.
If I returned to Da Lat, I would probably take the Sofitel if we could afford it at the time, but I would recommend this hotel for anyone travelling on a more modest budget.

Sammy hotel.: Very pretty 4 star hotel.
Sammy hotel is a new 4 star hotel that is bight white and kinda has a colonial and very classy touch to it.
The exterior is really nice and the rooms are very fine too.
It´s very popular with vietnamese weddings that you will often see there and the place also has a nightclub connected to the hotel.
I have stayed there twice and the staff has always been very good at accomodating my needs and i have enjoyed my stay there big time.
Be ware that the breakfast is not the typical international breakfast that you see in most 4 star hotels in Vietnam, but a more vietnamese breakfast.
In my opinion that just adds to the charm though.

Hang Nga guesthouse
This Hang Nga guesthouse is in did the The Crazy Woman Guesthouse. A very popular place where you can not only visit but also spend a night in such crazy place, enjoy special atmosphere on the house and its special garden in the yard. Just be aware that visitors are coming and going all day long here and might try to get into your room to check it out :)

Saigon Dalat
We stay in this Saigon Dalat hotel which is one of the popular and probably of the best in this city. It is really a luxury hotel with fantastic rooms, great view, good service and very nice Vietnamese breakfast, even if the dining room was little bit too crowded.

Thuy Tran: Nice place next to the Sinh Cafe office/hotel
I arrived in Dalat on the Sinh Cafe Open Bus at their office/hotel. After enquiring there about a room (which was $20) I walked down the road to this place and they were charging $12 for a double room. It's located a few minutes walk of the northern shore of the lake and about a 5-10 minute walk into the town centre. The hotel has 11 family rooms with two double beds inside, and seven double rooms. By far the best value are the doubles, which have enough room to swing a cat - the same can't be said about the family rooms. My double room had a double bed, bedside table, fridge, fan, wardrobe, 2 chairs, balcony, and a lovely modern bathroom with hot water shower cubical. There's a small place just around the corner that hires out bikes and scooters (100,000 VND/day).

Hotel Chau Au Europa: Lovely friendly folk
We emailed this place ahead and they were very quick to respond.
Finally we were able to reserve a room with 3 beds!
$22 for the room including breakfast. Free cable & internet. Very centrally located. Great people to deal with. The husband spoke French as well as English. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Unique Quality: Nice view over the town

Peace Hotel: Peace Hotel: For Budget Travellers
We were recommended by our Easy Rider Tour Guides to stay at this hotel. Rooms are spacious with 2 double beds, a balcony, TV. Toilet was alright. Quite clean and spacious. No hair dryer unfortunately. However, we got a pretty good deal at 12 USD per night! It's walking distance to the city centre. Just up the hill on the left, walk for 2 mins and you're there.
What I like about Peace Hotel is the food! The baguettes with bacon, tomato and cheese omelette is delicious. A must try is the Vietnamese Ice Coffee with fresh or condensed milk (sometimes on the menu it's called Iced White Coffee). I went on a drinking spree in Vietnam and Dalat has the best versions.
Also, you get an interesting mix of people staying at this hotel as well. You get to meet quite a lot of fellow backpackers and budget travellers from all over the world. The owners are friendly and all the Easy-Riders hang out at the area, drinking coffee, beer, or just making conversation with the guests.
All in all a very nice experience.
