Canvas Sapa Legend Hotel, also known as Sapa Legend Hotel and Spa, stands at No 1 Thu Dau Mot Street, right in the busiest part of Sa Pa. Sa Pa Square and the cable car station are about three minutes away on foot, the church is four minutes, and the lake and the Ham Rong Mountain path are within ten. For visitors who want to step out of the door and be in the middle of things, that location is hard to beat. The hotel is small by Sa Pa standards, with 60 rooms and a property class of three and a half, so it feels more personal than the big resorts. Facilities include a spa offering reflexology, facials and Swedish massage, a restaurant serving international dishes, a bar and coffee shop, and a terrace and garden. Rooms range from cosy superiors to deluxe rooms with a balcony or window, a triple, a family quadruple and a grand suite with a king bed and a lake-view balcony. It is a sensible mid-range choice for couples, friends and small families.
Location and getting around
Almost everything central is on foot. Restaurants, cafes, the market area, the church and the viewpoints are all a few minutes away, and the station for the Fansipan cable car train is close. This is useful on the morning of a Fansipan trip, and for evenings when you want to walk to dinner and back. Because the area is busy, ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a kettle, tea and coffee, a refrigerator and a television, with bidets and hydromassage showers in the bathrooms. Free self-parking is available, and there is a 24-hour front desk and room service. A buffet breakfast is available for a charge, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee.
A coworking space and a banquet hall are also on site, which helps if you are working while travelling.What to know: check-in is from 2 PM and check-out is at noon. Pets are not allowed. The grand suite with a lake-view balcony is the room to request for a special occasion, while the family quadruple is the practical choice for four.
For travellers who want a central base, a spa on site and a smaller hotel feel, it is a good all-round option, and the walkable position means you can keep taxi costs low. Because it is small, it can fill quickly at weekends and holidays, so booking ahead is sensible if your dates are fixed.
