The Mountain View Hotel is located in the centre of the Sapa, at the corner of Sapa market &  Cau May street, about 25 minutes walking to Cat Cat village & 10 minutes to Ham Rong Mountain. It takes 20 minute drive to Silver waterfall.

The Mountain View Hotel and Restaurant recently replaced an older hotel establishment that Mrs. Ninh Hong started in 1996 near the Sapa Market. Before going into the hotel business, Mrs. Hong studied veterinary science at University near Hanoi. Missing Sapa, she returned and became its first female trekking guide.
