Unbelievable Views! Mega Sky Dalat Hotel: Vietnam's Hidden Gem?
Unbelievable Views! Mega Sky Dalat Hotel: Dalat's Hidden Gem? (A Messy, Honest Review)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea, the pho, and maybe a little travel regret (just kidding… mostly) on Unbelievable Views! Mega Sky Dalat Hotel. Is it a hidden gem? Is it as “mega” as the name suggests? Let’s find out, shall we?
First Impressions: Dalat, Don’t Disappoint!
Dalat itself? Absolutely stunning. The air is crisp, the pine forests are lush, and the whole place just whispers romance (or at least, quiet contemplation, which is the more likely for me). The hotel? Well, it promises views, and that’s exactly what it delivers. The first thing you notice - the views. Holy moly! Those sweeping vistas of Dalat are truly something. I mean, you could sit and stare for days. Okay, maybe not days, but I definitely spent a good chunk of time just… zoning out.
Accessibility: Navigating the Sky (and Sometimes, the Stairs)
Right from the jump, let’s be real: this isn't the most perfectly accessible hotel I've ever encountered. They do have an elevator, which, thank goodness, is essential. But I’m not entirely sure how wheelchair-friendly the entire setup would be. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is a good sign, but I'd strongly recommend reaching out to the hotel before booking to confirm specific details. Elevator is present, a must.
Getting Around: The Free Parking is a Lifesaver
Car park [on-site] and car park [free of charge] are a huge win, especially if you’re renting a scooter (which you absolutely should – Dalat is perfect for it!). Airport transfer is available, which is handy, but the taxi service to and from the airport should work perfectly.
Rooms: Cloud Nine (Mostly)
My room? Ah, now we're talking. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. The air conditioning was a godsend – Dalat can get hot, even at altitude. The blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in after a day of exploring. The free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was a sanity-saver, and the Wi-Fi for special events is also listed. The bed was comfortable, if a little… firm. The separate shower/bathtub was a nice touch. The slippers were a nice touch, and they actually fit my size 12 feet! The sofa and seating area made it great to be able to spread out, too.
One little mishap: My hot water was playing tricks, leaving me with a lukewarm shower one morning. Not the end of the world, but worth noting.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe & Sound
Alright, so Cleanliness and safety is crucial these days, right? The hotel takes it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products are used, which is a relief, and they list Daily disinfection in common areas. There are a TON of features here: First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, and Individually-wrapped food options. Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Staff trained in safety protocol and Sterilizing equipment are all mentioned. I felt safe and secure during my stay.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Oh, the Food!
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The Asian breakfast with Asian cuisine in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, was decent, and the coffee? Delicious. I’m a total sucker for a good Vietnamese coffee in the morning. The buffet had a good variety of delicious options. The Vegetarian restaurant is a good sign for the plant-based eaters among us. The Room service [24-hour] is a huge bonus if you feel like a late-night snack.
Things to Do: Adventures Await!
Dalat is a playground! The hotel offers Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events if you're thinking of bringing your conference, which is pretty cool.
Ways to Relax: Find Your Zen
Hello, Spa/sauna! I'm a HUGE fan of a good spa day. The Body scrub, Body wrap, Sauna, Spa, Steamroom, I loved it. The Pool with view is epic. I spent a good chunk of time lounging by the pool, soaking in the views, and pretending to be a sophisticated traveler. The Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage are also available.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
The concierge was helpful, helping me with directions. Currency exchange is a good thing to have on hand. Cash withdrawal, Convenience store, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.
For the Kids: Family Fun
I didn't have kids in tow, but the hotel seems pretty family-friendly, with Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal available.
The Verdict: Mega Sky Bliss?
Okay, so is Unbelievable Views! Mega Sky Dalat Hotel a hidden gem? It definitely delivers on the "views" part! The rooms are comfortable, the location is fantastic, and the staff are friendly. There are a few minor imperfections, but honestly, that kind of adds to the charm.
Here's my messy, honest take:
- The Good: The views are insane. The rooftop pool is a dream. The staff are genuinely helpful. The location is close to everything.
- The Not-So-Good: The hot water thing was a bummer. The accessibility might require some extra investigation.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're diving headfirst into my Dalat adventure, specifically the glorious, possibly slightly-run-down, but definitely intriguing, Mega Sky Hotel. This ain't your perfectly curated Instagram reel, folks. This is the real, sweaty, coffee-stained deal.
Dalat Disaster Diary: Mega Sky & Beyond (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Lemongrass)
Day 1: Arrival & Altitude Asthma (Plus, the Bedspread)
- 14:00 - Arrival…or Did I Miss a Bus? Okay, so the airport transfer was…an experience. Let's just say the driver was clearly auditioning for Fast & Furious: Vietnam. I arrived at the Mega Sky Hotel, breathing heavily, not just from the altitude, but also from the near-death experience. First impressions? The lobby was…vast. And a little bit…empty. Think “Grand Hotel, circa 1978.” The air conditioning felt like it was fighting a losing battle against the humidity.
- 15:00 - Check-in Charm (or the Lack Thereof): The reception desk staff? Bless their hearts. Efficiency wasn't exactly their forte. The check-in took longer than my flight. And then… the bedspread. Oh, the bedspread. It was…a vibrant, almost aggressive, floral pattern. Let's just say I immediately considered bringing my own.
- 16:00 - Room Reconnaissance & Resignation: My room! It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly luxurious. The view? Mostly rooftops. The bathroom? Functional, but the water pressure was…suggesting a gentle drizzle. Resigned, I unpacked (carefully avoiding contact with the bedspread) and decided to embrace the chaos. I also took a deep breath, reminding myself I was in Vietnam and that some things are just…different.
- 17:00 - Coffee Crisis & the Search for Street Food: Dalat is known for its coffee, right? Okay, so the hotel coffee was…weak. Very, very weak. I decided to venture out. This is where things got interesting. Found a tiny street stall, bought a "ca phe sua da" (Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk), and nearly choked on the sweetness. But it was good. I followed that up with some sizzling Banh Mi, which resulted in an uncontrollable urge to eat and drink everything.
- 18:00 - The "Accidental" Sunset & a Lonely Wander: Found myself wandering the streets, trying to find a peaceful spot to enjoy the sunset. The city was bustling, people, motorbikes, all so new and interesting but also a little overwhelming.
- 19:00 - Dinner Dilemma: Back to the hotel. The restaurant was…forgettable. I think I had something that was supposed to be chicken, but might have been, well, let’s just say the texture was…unique. I swear I'm never eating chicken again.
Day 2: Crazy House & Crying About Coffee (Literally)
- 08:00 - Breakfast Blunders: Breakfast at the hotel. More weak coffee, this time with a side of lukewarm scrambled eggs that looked suspiciously like powdered eggs. I ate a piece of fruit, which I can confirm was absolutely delicious.
- 09:00 - Crazy House Chaos & Contemplation: One thing I will rave about? The Crazy House. Oh. My. God. It's exactly what it sounds like. A bonkers building designed by a woman inspired by Gaudi. I was elated by the architecture, the weird passages, the feeling of being utterly, gloriously lost. I spent a good hour wandering, giggling, and wondering if I could live there.
- 11:00 - Coffee Redemption & the Breakdown: Determined to find coffee that lived up to the hype, I stumbled upon a tiny cafe tucked away on a side street. The coffee was divine. Seriously, the best coffee I've ever had. I cried. Yep, full-on, ugly-cry tears of pure joy. Who knew coffee could be so emotionally impactful?
- 12:00 - Dalat Market Wanderings & Bargaining Battles: Ventured to the Dalat Market. It was a sensory overload: the smells of spices, the vibrant colors of the fruits, the insistent chants of the vendors. I negotiated (badly) for some souvenirs. I ended up with a scarf that was probably overpriced. Still, the experience was fun.
- 14:00 - Lunch with a View: Attempted to eat. Almost choked on a dish that looked delicious but was loaded with ingredients I couldn’t identify.
- 16:00 - The Lake & the Loneliness: Went to the lake. It was beautiful. But I was alone. And the loneliness was starting to seep in.
- 18:00 - Dinner "Success" & the Final Straw: More hotel food. This time, it was a bowl of pho. This was when I could finally stop thinking about how ugly the bedspread was and just focus on how the broth wasn't very good. I was getting defeated. This was the emotional low point.
Day 3: The Final Day & The Unexpected (and Slightly Disgusting) Beauty
- 08:00 - Bedspread Confrontation & Bitter Coffee: Yeah, still staring at the bedspread. Had a cup of terrible coffee at the hotel and made a mental note to pack the good stuff for next time.
- 09:00 - Flower Garden & Forgiveness: Spent the morning at the flower garden. A little slice of beauty among all the chaos of the trip. Beautiful flowers and the most amazing sights from all the flowers.
- 10:00 - Back to the Lake: The lake didn't seem so lonely. I think I'd made peace with the solitude. Sometimes, just sitting and letting the scenery wash over you is the best medicine.
- 12:00 - Lunch & the Last Bites in Dalat: Took a final meal at a restaurant I liked the day before. It was good.
- 14:00 - Departure & a Promise to Return (Maybe): Headed back to the airport. I actually kind of found my peace with the Mega Sky. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real. And Dalat? It was a beautiful, messy, wonderfully chaotic, and unforgettable experience. I'd even, dare I say, consider coming back… eventually. And okay, maybe next time I'll invest in a better bedspread.
So there you have it. My Dalat Disaster Diary. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, weak coffee, and questionable chicken. But hey, that's life, right? And as long as you have a sense of humor (and a strong stomach), you can survive anything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some therapy… and maybe some really good coffee.

Unbelievable Views! Mega Sky Dalat Hotel: Vietnam's Hidden Gem? - FAQs (and a Few Rants!)
Alright, Let's Dive In, Shall We? Expect Some Rambling...
Look, I've seen some views in my day. Seriously. From the Eiffel Tower to the top of a dodgy donkey in Morocco (don't ask). But this... this Mega Sky Dalat Hotel in Vietnam... it promised "unbelievable." And well, it delivered. Mostly. Let's get to the questions, because honestly, I’m still processing the sheer *altitude* of it all.
So, Is This Place Actually *Hidden*? Because the Website Lies, Right?
Hidden? Ha! Well, "hidden" like your credit card bill after a particularly exuberant holiday shopping spree. It's not *on* the main drag, true. You'll probably need a Grab (the local Uber, bless them) to get there. But hidden to the point of being undiscoverable? Nope. The Insta-influencers have swamped it. I swear, I saw one posing with a teacup for, like, a solid hour. Made me want to chuck a baguette at her. (Just kidding... mostly.)
The *Views*...Are they Worth the Hype (and the Potential Altitude Sickness)?
Okay, *this* is where it gets interesting. Yes. Absolutely, unequivocally YES. The views are, in a word, breathtaking. Think: rolling hills disappearing into a sea of clouds, pine forests stretching as far as the eye can see, and that gorgeous Dalat light filtering through everything. I spent a good hour just staring out my window, genuinely feeling like I was floating above the world. (Note: I *may* have also had a few too many coffees, which helped with the floating feeling.)
But...and there’s *always* a but, isn't there? – the view is best first thing in the morning. By afternoon, the clouds can roll in and you're left looking at… well, clouds. So, get up early! Embrace the sunrise! Don't be a slug like me on day two. I slept in and missed it, and I’m still kicking myself. It's a view you *live* for, then you're furious at yourself for missing.
What About the Rooms? Are They as Instagrammable as They Look? (And Are The Beds Comfy?)
Ah, yes, the rooms. They *are* pretty darn photogenic. Minimalist chic, lots of natural light, and of course, *that* view. They’ve clearly been designed with social media in mind. Now, the beds? Okay, here's where the imperfection sneaks in. My bed? It was okay. Not the *best* I’ve ever slept in, but certainly not the worst. Think: a solid 7 out of 10. My partner, on the other hand, felt it was a touch too firm. So, it depends on your preference. Prepare for a minor bed-related debate, potentially.
And the bathroom? Clean. Relatively modern. The water pressure, however, was a bit... unpredictable. You'd be enjoying a lovely hot shower, and then, BAM! Ice cold. Then scorching hot. (This happened *twice* and I nearly shrieked. Luckily, I survived to complain about it.)
Food, Glorious Food! Is the Restaurant as Good as the Views?
The restaurant… okay, this is another mixed bag. The breakfast buffet? Decent. Standard fare. Good coffee. They had a pho station, which always gets bonus points from me. The dinner menu was… a little less inspiring. A bit pricey for what you get considering the fantastic, cheap, and authentic food *everywhere* else in Dalat. I ended up eating a rather bland piece of chicken that felt like a culinary disappointment. I’d recommend exploring the local markets and restaurants. You'll eat far more interesting and delicious food, and save some valuable Dong.
Service? Are the Staff Friendly and Helpful? (Or Just Trying to Sell Me Souvenirs?)
Generally, yes. The staff are lovely. They try their best. There were a few communication hiccups, mostly due to my woeful Vietnamese language skills (my fault entirely!). But they were polite, eager to please, and always greeted me with a smile — except *that* one guy who was *very* keen on selling me a "genuine silk scarf." I think he followed me for a bit. So, the service is good, but be prepared for a touch of the hard sell on the souvenir front. Learn to say "không, cảm ơn" (no, thank you) with conviction!
My Unforgettable Experience: The Great Coffee Catastrophe of '23
Let me tell you a story. A story of caffeine, of ambition, and of shattered porcelain. On my second morning, fueled by an ungodly amount of Vietnamese coffee (strong stuff, folks!), I decided to get the *perfect* sunrise shot. I grabbed my camera, my balcony chair, and a steaming mug of joe. The plan was simple: sip coffee, capture beauty.
I climbed out onto the balcony, already feeling like I'd conquered Everest. The clouds were parting in a blaze of glory. Truly, the view was astounding. I leaned back to admire my handiwork...and that's when disaster struck. The flimsy balcony chair, or perhaps my general clumsiness, had other plans. I lost my balance. The coffee... well, it went everywhere. All over me, all over the balcony, and, tragically, down the front of my pristine white shirt.
Picture this: me, covered in coffee, the sunrise fading, my photographic ambitions completely foiled. I let out a noise that could have woken the dead. Then, I started laughing hysterically. It was the most ridiculous, most wonderful, most *me* moment of the trip. The point is, be prepared for the unexpected. And maybe, just maybe, bring a change of clothes. And maybe drink your coffee *inside*.
Would You Recommend It? The Big Question!
Yes. Absolutely. Despite the slightly dodgy bed, the random hot/cold showers, and my personal coffee-based humiliation, I would absolutely recommend the Mega Sky Dalat Hotel. The views alone are worth it. It's a unique experience, even with the imperfections. Go! See the sunrise! Drink ALL the coffee (but carefully!). Just… you know, maybe bring a stain remover.
Just remember, life is messy, travel is messy, and sometimes, you just have to laugh when you spill coffee all over yourself while trying to photograph a beautiful sunrise. And hey, maybe that's the *real* hidden gem of the Mega Sky Hotel: the reminder that sometimes, the best memories are made when things go hilariously, wonderfully wrong.
