Pink Dream House Dalat: Vietnam's Most Instagrammable Escape!
Pink Dream House Dalat: My Honesty-Bomb of a Review (Seriously, is this place real?)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this review isn't going to be some sterile travel brochure. We're talking Pink Dream House Dalat, that absolute cotton candy explosion clogging your Instagram feed. I went. I lived. I took eleventy-billion photos. And now, I'm spilling the tea, the pho, and maybe a little bit of my sanity in the process.
First Impressions (and the Instant Need to Instagram Everything)
Accessibility? Let's be real, Dalat is hill city, hill city, hill city. So, the "real" accessibility here? Well, it’s not going to be a breeze for folks with mobility issues. I didn't have any myself, so I'm not the best judge, but from my observations, it looks like there are elevators to get you up and around.
The pink… oh, the glorious pink. It’s like walking into a giant, fluffy marshmallow. Every corner screams "PHOTO OPPORTUNITY!" which, let's be honest, is probably why you're considering this place. It's a sensory overload, in the best possible way.
(Quick sidebar: My Instagram account is now 98% Dalat. Sorry, not sorry.)
Rooms: Living Like a Pastel Princess (or Prince!)
The rooms? Imagine a boudoir designed by a Barbie on a sugar rush. Think plush carpets, blackout curtains (thank the travel gods!), cute little complimentary tea, and, of course, everything is colored pink. I actually appreciated the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, and hey, if you want to get away from real life, the Interconnecting room(s) available option looks perfect for a larger group or even an interesting family travel. I spent hours on that laptop workspace, and I could not get away from those damn Mirror and Desk!
There's the usual stuff, of course: Air conditioning, mini bar (because, priorities), a shower, separate shower/bathtub and towels. The Additional toilet and hair dryer are a nice bonus, and the bathtub is massive (hello, bubble bath goals!). Blackout curtains are a MUST, especially if you're prone to daytime naps (which, let's be real, you probably are in Dalat). And I was very happy with the Daily housekeeping, and the non-smoking features were also great.
Let’s Talk Food (and My Existential Crisis at Breakfast)
Alright, the food situation. It's… varied. Very varied.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The buffet, was… chaotic. Let me be honest: I loved the "Asian Breakfast", but the "Western Breakfast" was what I was here for. I'm an American, I'm here to eat. I did not find the food that great. But that's me, a subjective human. The Breakfast service itself was fine. But there was a lot going on and not all of it made sense.
- Restaurants: There are Restaurants everywhere so you can pick whatever Asian cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, or Western cuisine in restaurant you desire. Just don't expect me to review them, as I was lost in the buffet, and didn't have time between naps to get to any of them.
- Snacks: Thank god for a Snack bar, because my Instagram feed demanded constant fuel.
Things to Do (besides Contemplate Your Life in Pink)
The hotel isn't just a pink paradise; there are legit things to do.
- Pool with view: A must-do. Sipping a cocktail by the pool, surrounded by the Dalat hills… absolute bliss. (Just watch out for the sun, it bites!)
- Spa/sauna: I’m a sucker for a good spa. There's a Body scrub, and Body wrap so you can truly relax.
- Sauna, steamroom and massage: All the usual suspects are here at this hotel.
- Fitness center: If you’re the type who actually works out on vacation, god bless you. I stuck to walking around Dalat (uphill, obviously) and taking pictures.
- Things to do: Honestly, the hotel is such a vibe, you might not want to leave, but hey, you gotta do it for the 'grams, right?
Service and Amenities (and My Constant Need for Coffee)
The staff were fantastic. They were genuinely lovely and happy to help (even when I asked for a million extra towels because, you know, Instagram). There's 24-hour Front desk, Concierge and a Daily housekeeping. The Airport transfer was smooth, and the Car park [on-site] was a lifesaver (driving in Dalat is an adventure of its own).
They seem pretty on point for the current climate too. I noticed things like Hand sanitizer stations everywhere, Staff trained in safety protocol, and lots of Hygiene certification. There's even Cashless payment service, which is convenient (especially when you’re too busy taking photos to find your wallet).
The Insta-Factor (Seriously, Is This Place Real?)
Look, the Pink Dream House Dalat knows what it’s doing. It’s an influencer's dream. Every nook and cranny is designed to be photographed. There were moments where I questioned if I was actually living or just existing within an elaborate Instagram filter. Is it cheesy? Maybe. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Just make sure you bring your best selfie game.
The Verdict (and My Slightly Exhausted Sigh)
Pink Dream House Dalat is a total experience. It's a bit over-the-top, a little bit ridiculous, and utterly, unapologetically charming. It's perfect for:
- Instagram addicts: Duh.
- Couples: The Couple's room looked fantastic for couples.
- Families: While this isn't specifically a kids' paradise, it's the kind of place that can create lasting memories.
- Anyone who needs a serious dose of happy: This place will make your mood lift.
Final thought: I'd go back in a heartbeat. Yes, even if it means embracing my inner pastel princess and living solely for the 'gram. Just promise me you'll bring some extra phone chargers. You'll need them.
Now, here's the sales pitch, because, well… I have to.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, chaotic mess that is my "Pink House of Dalat" adventure. This isn't your carefully curated, Instagram-perfect itinerary. This is the real deal - the sweat, the tears (of joy and spicy pho), the questionable fashion choices, and the sheer, unadulterated joy of being completely lost in the beauty of Vietnam.
Day 1: Arrival & Utter Bewilderment (and a LOT of Pink)
- Morning (6:00 AM-ish): Wake up in my own bed (thank goodness), frantically double-check passport, and question every single packing decision I've ever made. Did I bring enough socks? Probably not. Coffee, a desperate attempt to will my brain into functioning.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): ARRIVAL! Ho Chi Minh City airport. The air hits you like a warm, delicious, traffic-filled hug. Then, the adventure begins. Navigating baggage claim is like a contact sport. I'm pretty sure I saw a lady wrestle a suitcase to the ground.
- Midday (12:00 PM): The long bus ride to Dalat begins, and it's a bumpy one! Beautiful scenery whizzes past, and I can't help but grin foolishly. Found a guy playing a shaky version of 'Hotel California' on a guitar. Instant road trip legend.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Pink House Dreams! Finally, Dalat! The air is crisper, the hills roll, and then… the Pink House. It's even pinker than the photos. My jaw genuinely dropped. I felt like I'd wandered into a Wes Anderson film. Check-in is a bit of a cluster (lost in translation, obviously), but the staff are lovely and patient. This is going to be good.
- Early Evening (6:00 PM): Wandering the streets, lost. Utterly and wonderfully lost. Found a Banh Mi stand with a line stretching halfway down the block. I joined it, of course. Best Banh Mi of my life, I swear. Worth the wait, the sweat, and the accidental elbow I gave a tiny Vietnamese grandma. Sorry, lady!
- Night (8:00 PM): Pho time! Found a tiny, bustling place. The aroma alone was enough to make me weep with happiness. The broth was rich, the noodles perfect, the chili… intense. I sweat, I slurped, I conquered. I'm pretty sure I burned my tongue, but worth it.
Day 2: Crazy House Chaos, Caffeination, and Questionable Purchases
- Morning(8:00 AM): Crazy House time! Okay, I had a vague idea what I was getting into, but it was wilder than anything I could have imagined! Stairs to nowhere, wonky windows, and more photo opportunities than I could shake a selfie stick at, I was laughing so hard I almost tripped, a lot.
- Mid-Morning (10:00 AM): Coffee break, a serious one. Dalat is famous for its coffee, and thank goodness. The best coffee of my life so far. The cafe was a cute one, with plants and a great terrace to watch the world go by.
- Lunch(12:00pm): Had a delicious meal at the "Pink House" (I know, I know, I'm obsessed). The food was absolutely outstanding, the service was excellent, I could not have asked for more.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Market Mania! Dalat's market explodes with color, sounds, and smells. I bought everything from silk scarves to a questionable "lucky cat" figurine. My backpack is already overflowing! The best part? Haggling. I haggled with the ferocity of a mama bear protecting her cubs. I won.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM-ish): Lost again! But this time, I stumbled upon a serene lake. I spent a chunk of time just sitting and watching the world go by. The light hitting the water was just… perfect. A moment of true peace, right before I remembered I needed to find dinner.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a vegetarian restaurant which also sold vegan food. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, I just love trying new things. The food was a revelation. Fresh, vibrant, and so flavorful. I'm a convert! At least for tonight.
- Night (9:00 PM): Back at the Pink House. Journaling, sipping complimentary tea, and feeling completely content. Then, I remembered I forgot to charge my phone. Panic sets in.
Day 3: Dalat's Waterfalls, Spiritual Stuff, and Farewells
- Morning (8:00 AM): Tour time! I'm not usually a "tour person," but I took a chance on a day trip to explore some waterfalls. A bumpy start, definitely. The mini-bus was cramped, I kept getting jostled, and was pretty certain I got the weirdest seat in the bus.
- Mid-morning (9:00 AM): Elephant Waterfalls. Majestic. The spray… refreshing. Slippery paths, a near-disaster involving a rogue root, and some questionable footwear choices. But the view? Worth every single near-death experience.
- Lunch (12:00 PM): Eating food, at a restaurant. The food was yummy and the restaurant had great service.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): A meditation session at the nearby temple . I'm not a deeply spiritual person, but the calm, space, and the chanting were rather soothing. I walked out feeling a little lighter, and with a stronger appreciation for the beauty of silence.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): I have to say that the Pink House will forever have a place in my heart. Now, it is time to part ways. I wish I could stay longer.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a rooftop place with panoramic views of Dalat. Reflecting on the trip, which had moments of pure joy, moments of frustration when I tried to order, and some crazy ones. It’s the mess, the unexpected turns, and the little moments that make it special.
- Night (9:00 PM): Packing. Trying to figure out how to fit everything into my backpack. Failing miserably. One last cup of Vietnamese coffee. The perfect way to say goodbye.
This is just the start. The real adventure isn't just in the places, but in the messy, human journey that weaves through it. And in the end, that's what makes it beautiful.

Pink Dream House Dalat: Your Instagram-Ready Guide (Warning: May Cause Extreme Wanderlust!)
Alright, so you're thinking about hitting up the Pink Dream House in Dalat, Vietnam? Good choice! It's basically a giant, pink-hued, Instagram trap... I mean... paradise. But before you pack your fluffiest pink dress (guilty!), let's get real with some FAQs. Because, you know, reality, Instagram, and travel don't always play nicely together.
What *is* the Pink Dream House, exactly? Is it just a house?
Okay, so the official answer: the Pink Dream House is a guesthouse/homestay in Dalat. Think pastel pink walls, whimsical decor, and views that are supposed to be straight out of a fairytale. It's *designed* for photos. And it works. I mean, it *really* works. I practically choked on my pho the first time I saw pictures.
But the *real* answer? It's more than a house. It's... a *feeling*. It's the feeling of pure, unadulterated, "YES, I'm finally in Vietnam!" joy. You'll probably spend 90% of your time taking pictures, 9% admiring the scenery and 1% actually relaxing. And you wouldn't have it any other way. (Trust me. You won't.)
How do I book a stay? Is it difficult? Because, you know, I want those pictures…
Booking is relatively straightforward-- well, it was for me. I went through Agoda but there are other options and I think you can book directly, which, I'm gonna be completely honest, I *wish* I'd done. (More on that later...). I'd STRONGLY recommend booking well in advance. Like, months. Seriously. This place is popular. I heard a rumour a very famous influencer was trying for months to get a booking and was shot down but I'm not sure of veracity! Apparently, they get booked solid by influencers and regular travellers. If you're going during peak season (which is most of the time), don't even THINK about showing up on a whim. You'll be heartbroken. Or at least mildly disappointed, which, let’s face it, for Instagram perfection, is almost as bad.
Okay, real talk: Is it *actually* as pink as it looks in the photos?
Yes. And let me tell you, it’s more pink in person – in just the right way. And it’s not just *pink*, it's like, a *vibrant* pink. The kind of pink that practically jumps out and shouts, "Look at me! I'm photogenic!" I remember the first time I saw it walking to the entrance and my jaw literally dropped. Honestly, the pictures don’t quite capture it. The sunlight plays off the walls, the flowers cascade, the sheer... pinkness... is intoxicating. You’ll probably take a thousand pictures, and even then some won’t be amazing. Be prepared, and plan outfits appropriately. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU: PASTEL LOVERS. Go hard or go home.).
What about the rooms? Are they as dreamy as the outside?
The rooms are... well, they vary a bit. They’re all decorated with a similarly whimsical aesthetic, lots of pastels and cute details. But, they're not *necessarily* the swankiest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Remember: this place is about the experience, and about those *pictures*. My room was perfectly comfortable, (don't get me STARTED on the view! Stunning!) but it's not the main event. Some rooms are more Insta-worthy than others, so do your research when you book. If you're a stickler for luxury, this might not be your ideal stay but come on, the location and general vibe make up for everything--and if you can't handle a slightly less than perfect bathroom for some epic photos, you're probably in the wrong place.
What's the vibe like? What's the atmosphere? Is it all just people taking selfies?
Okay, yes. It's absolutely full of people taking selfies. And that's okay! Embrace it! Actually, I took SO many selfies. It's basically a giant, friendly photoshoot. Surprisingly, though, the atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Everyone is mostly trying to get the perfect shot or making friends with other travelers and it's almost always good-natured. You'll share tips on the best angles, offer to take photos for each other, and laugh with other guests. I made friends for life there! It's one of those places where you feel instantly connected to everyone else because you *all* share a love for the same thing… a perfectly curated aesthetic.
FOOD! What's the food situation? Is it all just… pink-colored things?
Okay, this is where things are a little... less picture-perfect. The breakfast is *included*, and it was fine, definitely edible, but not exactly Michelin-star worthy. I'm pretty sure someone took a photo of my breakfast and looked at it very optimistically – it was pretty ordinary-- but it was there, it fuelled your exploring, and that was that. Don’t expect pink pancakes (although that’s a brilliant idea, Pink Dream House people!) But hey, you're in Dalat! The street food is unbelievable! Go explore the local markets! Get your fill of *real* Vietnamese food. That's where the magic truly happens.
Are there any hidden costs or surprises I should know about?
Hmmm... let me think.. No hidden costs as such, but the location is a little out of the city center. You'll probably need to take a Grab (taxi app, cheap and efficient in Vietnam) or rent a scooter to get around. This isn't necessarily a "hidden cost" but factor it into your budget. Also, keep in mind that the staff, while very friendly, might not all speak perfect English. But that's part of the charm! Embrace the communication challenges! It is so much fun attempting to order stuff. Oh, and most importantly, be prepared for potential crowds, especially during peak season. Patience is key!
