Banla Boutique Hotel in Dalat

They blatantly lied about the room size. Overall, this place offers terrible value for the money.

Calling itself a “boutique hotel” cannot be an excuse to focus on aesthetics while completely ignoring basic quality and honesty. The room is written as 20 m², which is simply false. In reality, the room is ridiculously small there isn’t even enough space to open a medium size suitcase without blocking the entire walkway. The bed is a 1.6 × 2 m bed shoved into a corner so you cannot walk onto the far side.

I actually measured the room, and it’s around 16 m² at best. That’s not a small discrepancy that’s straight-up misrepresentation.
I even asked them if it is the correct room, they said yes. Later I asked why it is so small, “is it really 20m2 because I measured it” they paused for a while and admitted it is ~18m2 (I don’t even see how they could have measured it to come up with this number.)

The wifi is awful. Signal shows only 1 to 2 bar and is basically unusable for anything. Maybe only this top floor room, but it then proves they did not test the coverage

Breakfast is technically “included,” but don’t expect much. You preselect one main dish, and there’s supposed to be a small buffet of fruit and salad. In reality, it’s poor.. , and the main dish portion is small.

The bathroom is another disappointment. Once again, “boutique” does not mean sacrificing functionality to such an extreme degree. If you’re taller than 1.7m, good luck, you’ll constantly hit your head. The showerhead is installed low, and also water easily spills out into the room because of the poor design.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for a cute, insta worthy hotel, this is not worth the sacrifices. You shouldn’t have to give up basic comfort, honesty, and functionality just for “style” and that’s exactly what this place expects you to do.
