Hotels in Bắc Kạn Province, Vietnam

Relax in Bắc Kạn with the peaceful atmosphere at Bac Kan Hotel

When it comes to finding accommodation in Bắc Kạn Province, Vietnam, a small quiet town full of beautiful nature, I, mr.hotsia, recommend staying atBac Kan Hotelthe largest and considered the best hotel in this town as of my visit in May 2015.

Bắc Kạn is a unique town for Western tourists because foreign visitors are rarely seen, yet there is a large hotel located in the town center. I think this is a great spot for those who want to experience local life clearly without the hassle of many tourists.

Impressions and precautions when staying at Bac Kan Hotel

Bac Kan Hotel is a three-star hotel with multiple floors. The upper rooms offer beautiful city views and a full view of the peaceful Bắc Kạn town. However, a warning for travelers choosing to stay here is that some rooms still have dust and cigarette odors. I, mr.hotsia, therefore recommend checking and selecting your room carefully every time you stay in Vietnam to ensure the most comfortable rest.

Room rates are not very expensive, about 600 baht per night, which is reasonable for what you get. Especially in a town with a peaceful atmosphere and calm people, choosing a good hotel like Bac Kan Hotel will make you feel safe and comfortable while exploring the town.

Exploring Bắc Kạn: Peaceful and a lifestyle for health lovers

After staying at Bac Kan Hotel, I had the chance to stroll around Bắc Kạn town. It is very quiet, with wide streets but few pedestrians. You can exercise, run, or walk comfortably without worrying about noise or the hustle of motorbikes like in big cities.

What’s interesting about Bắc Kạn is that the locals are health-conscious, evident from sports like tennis and various outdoor activities in the morning and evening, which I, mr.hotsia, clearly noticed in the town’s atmosphere.

Breakfast and Bắc Kạn morning market: Local flavors not to miss

If you want to experience authentic local life, don’t miss walking to the Bắc Kạn morning market located behind Bac Kan Hotel. This market is charming as a small market among locals selling fresh produce and local food informally.

Here you can try authentic Bắc Kạn breakfast such as sticky rice topped with shredded pork and pork with a mild flavor. There are also Vietnamese pho and rice porridge similar to other places, but what’s different is the friendly atmosphere of the vendors and the calmness of this early morning market.

The market atmosphere here is not noisy and there are no disturbing motorbike taxi sounds, making it perfect for a genuine morning stroll. I, mr.hotsia, recommend trying breakfast at this market to truly experience the lifestyle of Bắc Kạn people.Read more about Bắc Kạn morning market
