Empress Hotel, Dalat

Always difficult to judge a boutique hotel, as price and star rating don't completely match with standard hotels. Pro: stunning location above the lake, nice viewas. Spacious rooms and good bathrooms, though both are a bit dark - windows towards the stairway and not the open air. Good heating in rooms (really needed). Not so good: limited breakfast, much walking on the stairs, sometimes noise from the cafe part on the (lovely) atrium coming into the rooms.
