In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Kings Hotel Dalat is a mid-size 4-star property with 95 air-conditioned rooms done in warm tones. Reviewers in a Deluxe at around 28 sq m describe a minibar, an LCD TV, a safe and a bathroom that has both a shower and a bathtub with robes. The detail guests keep flagging is the water heater — strong, fast flow — paired with clean, warm bedding that suits a Dalat night, where lows drop to about 12°C. Being able to soak in a warm tub after a full day of walking is a small luxury you do not often get at this price.
Food and amenities
On site is the Buffet BBQ Hai San restaurant, serving barbecue and seafood — a highlight in reviews, with an affordable buffet and fresh ingredients. Reception is open 24 hours, and there is laundry and dry-cleaning, luggage storage for after checkout, free parking at the hotel, free Wi-Fi throughout the building, and an airport shuttle. Breakfast is served as an American-Vietnamese set. Real guest scores come in at 8.1 on Trip.com and 8.0 on Agoda.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits on Bui Thi Xuan street in central Dalat, about 1 km (a 15-minute walk) from Dalat Market and Dalat Cathedral (the Pink Church). It is roughly 1.4 km from Xuan Huong Lake and about 1.1 km from Linh Son Pagoda, so getting around the centre on foot is easy. This is a lovely neighbourhood to walk in the morning — there are coffee shops, strawberry stalls and artichoke vendors to stop at along the way. Lien Khuong Airport is about 28 km away, and the hotel runs an airport shuttle.
Things to know before booking
The guest scores here are average rather than top-tier, and the facilities are just enough rather than generous. There is no swimming pool and no spa, so if on-site downtime matters to you, look elsewhere. And in high season the rates climb and rooms fill up fast, so book ahead on busy dates. None of that changes the core pitch: a central room with a bathtub for not much money.
Our take
Kings Hotel Dalat is at its best for couples and small families who want a central location on a modest budget. The rooms have a full bathtub, and the lack of a pool is no real loss given the setting. We rate it the best mid-budget value on this list — for under $30 you get a comfortable night right in the centre of Dalat.
