• One of the cheapest and most convenient way to get to Hoang Ha Hotel is to take a night train from Hanoi to Lao Cai (SP7, SP1, SP3) and Lao Cai - Ha Noi (SP8, SP2, SP4 are good trains). Tickets can be purchased from the train station in Hanoi or by our hotel's reservation staff. Berths come in three main classes: soft-sleeper (with or without A.C), hard sleeper, or hard seat. Most tourists opt for the soft-sleeper.
• On arrival at Lao Cai station, look out for a minibus to Sa Pa. The cost of a one way trip is 40,000 Dong (approximately 2 USD). If you book in our hotel in advance, we can be there to pick you up from the station.
• For another option, you also can take a night bus (soft-sleeper berths with A.C) from Hanoi - Sapa and vice versa.
