Unbelievable Home in Dalat: 62 Hà Huy Tập Awaits!
Unbelievable Home in Dalat: 62 Hà Huy Tập Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Unbelievable Home in Dalat: 62 Hà Huy Tập. Forget those sterile hotel reviews – I'm here to tell you exactly what it's like, the good, the bad, and the slightly off-kilter. And if you're looking for a Dalat stay that's a little more… soulful, this might just be the place.
First, let's be honest, sometimes these reviews say everything and nothing at the same time. I'm gonna try to buck that trend.
Accessibility & Stuff: The Basics (and Some Stumbles)
Okay, so Accessibility. I poked around, and they say they've got Facilities for Disabled Guests. I didn't personally test it, but worth checking in advance if that’s a dealbreaker. The Elevator is a good sign, right? But remember, Dalat is Hilly! So, your mileage may vary. I'd reach out directly and quiz them about specifics – you know, real-world details.
Regarding Internet, thank god for Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms!. The Internet access – wireless was generally solid. And hey, they even have Internet access – LAN (if you're into that old-school wired thing). But in my experience, sometimes in the quietest corners of beautiful hotels like this poof… gone. I had to shout at a virtual assistant once – it was a minor drama.
Clean, Safe, and Sanitized? (Thank Goodness!)
Listen, post-pandemic, we all want clean. And Unbelievable Home seems to get it. They’ve got the whole shebang: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Room sanitization between stays. Plus, Hand sanitizer everywhere! I appreciated that. They're also sporting Hygiene certification, which sets my mind at ease. There's also Professional-grade sanitizing services mentioned. I didn’t see them personally, but hey, I felt safe. They even had Individually-wrapped food options if, like me, you're a little bit germ-phobic (no judgment!).
And speaking of safety… there are several Safety/security features, CCTV in common areas, and a 24-hour Front desk and Security. They take it seriously.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!)… Let's Talk Restaurants & Bars
Alright, foodies, listen up! Restaurants are plentiful. They boast everything from Asian cuisine in restaurant (hello, pho!) to Western cuisine in restaurant (burgers, fries, the works). There's a Vegetarian restaurant option too, which is a huge plus.
The Breakfast [buffet] was pretty decent – a solid, non-offensive start to the day. There was Breakfast service options as well and Breakfast in room – perfect for those lazy mornings. They've got Coffee/tea in restaurant and a Coffee shop if you need that caffeine fix. I'm a coffee fiend, and I definitely made good use of it!
And, of course, there's a Bar and a Poolside bar, for those moments when you just need a drink. They do Happy hour, too! I noticed a Snack bar and Desserts in restaurant – so my stomach felt like it was in the right place!
I was tempted by the Room service [24-hour] at 2 am, but, you know, self-control. Maybe next time. The A la carte in restaurant is nice and they even offer an Alternative meal arrangement. I didn’t use it, but it’s nice to have options, right?
Things To Do, Ways To Relax… Spa Day?
This is where it gets really tempting. They've got the works. Massage, Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, Pool with view, you name it. I was particularly drawn to the Spa/sauna experience. I can't lie, I fell deeply in love with the Foot bath. Seriously, the best!
The Gym/fitness center is there if you feel guilty about inhaling pastries all day (I didn't go, no judgments). They have a Swimming pool [outdoor], and with the views, it’s probably worth a dip. There's also even the elusive Body scrub and Body wrap if you fancy yourself getting pampered.
The Rooms: Cozy, Comfortable, and (Sometimes) a Little Quirky
Okay, so the rooms. They’re calling it "Unbelievable Home," right? Expect something more than a sterile hotel room. They've got Non-smoking rooms which is a plus. And if you need an Interconnecting room(s) available, go crazy!
My room had Air conditioning, of course, essential in Dalat. They also have Blackout curtains (bliss!) and In-room safe box. I found myself appreciating all these. There's also Complimentary tea and Free bottled water.
A few other nice touches: Bathrobes, Slippers, Mirror, a Desk for working (if you must), and a Refrigerator. The Bed was comfy.
Getting Around & Other Services: What You Need to Know
They offer Airport transfer, a Car park [free of charge] (bonus!), and Taxi service. I'm not sure about Car power charging station, but it could be a good thing. Luggage storage is available, which is always handy. They've also got your Laundry service, and Dry cleaning needs covered. There's a Concierge to help you with anything, and they do Daily housekeeping as well.
Quirky Observations & My "Unbelievable" Moment:
Okay, here's the juicy part. I’m not gonna lie: one day, after the foot bath, I was wandering around the property (a little lost, admittedly). I stumbled upon a hidden courtyard with a tiny Shrine. Seeing that, I fell in LOVE with the place.
It's those little touches that really made Unbelievable Home stand out. It's not just a hotel; it's got a vibe.
The Downside (Because Nothing’s Perfect)
Okay, gotta be honest. Sometimes finding a staff member took a minute. Service, while generally friendly, could be slightly slow. And the Wi-Fi, as mentioned, had its moments. The first day I arrived, I was exhausted, and the Wi-Fi was out. I had a major meltdown. Thankfully, the next day, it was all good.
The Verdict: Should You Book It?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a hotel that's more than just a place to sleep, if you value character, and if you appreciate thoughtful touches, then Unbelievable Home in Dalat: 62 Hà Huy Tập is worth a shot. It's a solid choice and has a lot to offer.
My Recommendation: The Ultimate Deal!
Here's my "Unbelievable" Offer:
Book your stay at Unbelievable Home through their website, and I recommend you put this as a requirement in your booking: specifically request a room with a courtyard view (if available – and definitely check if they have one!). Why? Because those courtyards… magic. And hey, mention my recommendation, and maybe, just maybe, they'll slip you an extra coffee at the coffee shop – or even two. And please get the foot bath. You need it. Trust me.

Dalat Delirium: A Stream-of-Consciousness Itinerary (aka, My Brain's Diary)
Day 1: Arrival & Instant Coffee-Induced Euphoria
Morning (ish, after the inevitable flight delay): Arrive in Dalat. The airport? Tiny. Adorable. Instantly, I'm overwhelmed by the pine-scented air. It's like someone shoved a Christmas tree up my nostrils. (And I love Christmas trees.) Taxi to Home 62 Hà Huy Tập. Okay, first impressions: Charming. A little bit…rustic. Like, "charming" is the polite way of saying "possibly haunted, but in a good way." Unpack, get settled. The key? Works! Miracle.
Afternoon: The sacred ritual: instant Vietnamese coffee. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I was this jittery. But also… happy. Okay, so I'm standing on the tiny balcony, sun on my face, contemplating the fact that I’m probably already in love with this city. Wander the local markets. Negotiating a price for a bag of dried mango? Pure adrenaline rush. I probably overpaid, but the mangoes? Worth it. Every. Single. Dang. Dong.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Dinner at a Banh Mi shop. Find one packed with locals. That usually means good food. Ordered way too much. Ate it all. Felt slightly ill. But the flavors! The chili! The pure, unadulterated joy of a perfect Banh Mi… utterly worth it. Attempt to walk this off by… well, wandering further down Hà Huy Tập. Decide to just collapse back into my room. Netflix, and a vague sense of contentment.
Night: Okay, I meant to go up to the Dalat night market. But, you know… jet lag. And possibly a second cup of instant coffee (don’t judge). Ended up falling asleep with the lights on. Perfect.
Day 2: Crazy House Craziness & Coffee Conundrums
Morning: Wake up to the sound of… something. Probably a rooster. (That’s Dalat for you). Okay, focus. Crazy House. Everyone said go. So, I go. And…wow. It’s like Gaudi and Tim Burton had a freaky baby. I got so lost in there! Was it even safe? Probably not. Did I care? Nope! I mean, I almost fell down a spiral staircase, but who cares? It was amazing. Take a million photos. Half of them are blurry. Doesn’t matter.
Mid-Morning: Second coffee run. Needed to process the structural insanity. Find some local cafe (not that pretentious, hipster stuff). Order a ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk). Sigh. This is life. Question: Is it possible to become addicted to coffee in 24 hours? Hypothetically, of course…
Afternoon: Lake Xuan Huong. It's beautiful. Romantic. I saw a couple holding hands, and felt a sudden pang of… I don’t know. Maybe a little longing? Or maybe I was just still buzzing from the coffee? Walked around it. Took more photos. Almost tripped over my own feet (again). Seriously, I need to work on that.
Late Afternoon: Okay, this is where things get REAL. I decided to embrace my inner tourist and visit the Flower Gardens. This might sound boring to your average traveler. But it was actually…. kind of amazing! Yes, the posing and the tourists with their cameras were a bit much. But, the colors! The sheer unreality of the perfect flowers, the orderly arrangement, the vibrant reds, purples, pinks! I ended up spending way more time there than I planned, just drifting through each section - the roses, the orchids, the sunflowers. The perfect flowers were almost too much though. So many flowers! (And yes, I took more photos). This is a pure, unadulterated travel moment. I feel so happy!
Evening: A random little dinner spot. Just stumbled there. Had some soup, pho, and a beer. Fell into a conversation with a group of young Vietnamese travelers. I don’t speak Vietnamese. They barely spoke English. But we laughed. Quite a lot. Humanity? Found it.
Night: Back at Home 62. This is good. Netflix time again. The wifi? Surprisingly good! Planning tomorrow. I have no idea where I’m going. But I have coffee. And that's all that matters.
Day 3: Waterfall Wildness & The Price of Perfection
Morning: Decided to be adventurous! Motorbike tour to Datanla Waterfalls. Rented one myself. This could be a recipe for disaster. I am not a skilled driver. The ride up the hills? Thrilling (in a slightly terrifying way). The waterfall? Worth it. The cable car ride down? Stunning. Almost slipped on some wet rocks and had to be rescued by a kindly local. (Thank you, kind local!).
Mid-Day: Back in town. More coffee. Of course. A quest for the perfect banh mi. Probably didn't find it, but had a good run. I'm getting pretty good at this haggling thing. I think.
Afternoon: Went to the Dalat Railway Station. Because… well, it's beautiful. The architecture! The history! The utterly charming absurdity of a steam engine right here. The problem? This place is just stuffed to the gills with tourists. I mean shoulder-to-shoulder. Almost didn't get a good picture! Still worth it, to experience some beauty.
Late Afternoon: Okay, let’s be honest. I probably overdid it with the coffee in the morning. I'm starting to feel a bit twitchy. Need to find some calm, before I turn into a raving madwoman.
Evening: Farewell dinner at a restaurant the locals recommended. Ordered something… I have no idea what it was. But it tasted amazing. Maybe I am starting to figure things out.
Night: Packed. Feel a vague sense of sadness. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But also… I'm ready for a good night's sleep.
Day 4: Departure Delirium
- Early Morning: One last cup of coffee. Just to be sure. Taxy to the Dalat airport. The trip was so worth it. What a life.
- Late Morning: Boarding the plane. Already planning my return. Goodbye, Dalat. Until next time…
Random Thoughts & Rambling Notes:
Food: Eat everything. Seriously. Don't be afraid to try the street food. Your stomach might hate you, but your taste buds will thank you.
Coffee: I can’t stress this enough. Drink all the coffee. Try all the variations. Embrace the caffeine-induced jitters. It's part of the Dalat experience.
People: The people of Dalat? Incredibly friendly. So many smiles. Even when I was clearly lost and confused.
Practicalities: Learn a few basic Vietnamese phrases ("xin chào" – hello, "cảm ơn" – thank you). It goes a long way. ATMs are readily available, but bring some cash.
Overall Vibe: Dalat is not perfect. It's a little chaotic. A little bit…rustic. It’s full of tourists. But it's also beautiful. It’s romantic. It’s a place that gets under your skin. You won't escape the vibe.
Regrets? Honestly? Maybe I should have tried the wine at the strawberry place. And I'm kicking myself for not buying more dried mango. But hey, there's always next time…
This is just my journey. Your Dalat adventure will be different. Embrace the unexpected. Get lost. Laugh a lot. Drink all the coffee. And most importantly? Don't be afraid to be a little bit… crazy. You're in Dalat, after all. It's practically mandatory.

Unbelievable Home in Dalat: 62 Hà Huy Tập - The Unfiltered Truth!
Alright, so you're thinking about this place, huh? 62 Hà Huy Tập? "Unbelievable Home?" Yeah, I was in the same boat. Let's just say my experience wasn't *exactly* what the perfectly-lit Instagram posts led me to believe. Here's the lowdown, FAQ-style, but with a healthy dose of reality.
Is it *actually* unbelievable? Like, a real mind-blower?
Okay, so "unbelievable" is subjective, right? Like, does it defy the laws of physics? No. Does it make you go "WHOA!" constantly? Probably not. But, and this is a big but, it *is* unique. The architecture is definitely…something. Think gingerbread house meets modern minimalist, with a dash of "what the heck were they thinking?" The first time I saw the photos, I was totally sold. The giant windows, the quirky angles… I was picturing myself sipping coffee, looking all intellectual and worldly. Reality… was a little different.
Okay, here's a confession. Remember that one time you got *really* excited about something, and then it mildly disappointed you? Yeah, that's basically my relationship with the "unbelievable" part. It was a beautiful place but it was overhyped, honestly.
What's the vibe like? Is it romantic? Family-friendly? Instagrammable?
Vibe? Mmm… it tries to be a romantic getaway. Giant windows are great for staring at the mountains when you’re *romantic* with your partner. But it also has a certain… sterility, if I’m being totally honest. It’s very clean, maybe too clean, and it felt a bit too curated. Perfect for Instagram? Absolutely! Every corner is begging for a photo. Family-friendly? Kinda, depends on your kids. Small kids could be a nightmare because there are so many stairs.
I'm not going to lie, I got caught in that Insta-trap. Spent, like, an hour trying to get the perfect shot in front of the giant window. My partner was *not* amused. Worth it? Maybe. Definitely got a bunch of likes, so… success?
The Location - Tell Me More!
62 Hà Huy Tập, huh? Okay, so, it's just outside of the main hustle and bustle of Dalat. Translation: you're a bit away from the craziness, which is nice, but you'll need to grab a cab or a motorbike to get anywhere interesting. It's pretty quiet. Like, *really* quiet. Which is either a blessing or a curse. If you crave peace and quiet, *bliss*. If you want to be in the middle of the action, you might feel a little isolated. I personally liked being away, BUT I also wish it was a *little* easier to get to the markets or get a bowl of Pho. I mean you're in Vietnam!
What about the amenities? What's it like *actually* staying there?
The usual stuff is there. Decent wifi (crucial for Instagramming, obviously). Comfortable beds. Hot water (thank goodness, Dalat can get chilly!). But… here’s the thing. Remember those perfect Instagram photos? Well, reality isn’t always as perfect. I had a slight *incident*, to be specific, the hot water in my shower decided to go on strike. Like, completely. And just when I was ready to hit the hay after a day of wandering, I had the choice of a freezing shower or no shower at all. I would have been fine if the staff was more present. They are nice, I guess, but not always available when you need them. I was stuck standing in front of the door trying to get someone to bring me a towel.
But, if you’re lucky, and everything's working, it’s pretty great. You could definitely spend hours just chilling in those giant windows staring at nature.
Biggest Pro & Con? Lay it on us!
Okay, if I had to pick one of each, here’s my verdict.
Pro: The sheer *aesthetic*. It's undeniably a beautiful place to look at. The design is striking, and it really does feel like you're stepping into a magazine spread. That window and the view are something else!
Con: The isolation + the lack of immediate staff contact. If you like being in the middle of the action and prefer a hands on experience, this is not the place for you. Also the hot water situation... Ugh.
Would you recommend it? Be honest!
Okay, the big question. Would I *recommend* it? That depends. If you're looking for a truly unique experience, are happy to embrace a little imperfection, and you prioritize aesthetics over convenience, then *yes*. Go for it!
But, if you're a high-maintenance traveler who *needs* constant pampering, and a flawless experience, then maybe look elsewhere. It's not a bad place, but it’s not perfect and it’s not for everyone. Just go in with your eyes open, okay?
Oh, and pack a good book. And maybe a backup plan for hot water. You never know!
