In Dalat I recommend that you consider Ngoc Lan Hotel, 42 Nguyen Chi Thanh Street. This is a centrally located hotel, near the market and the Xuan Huong lake. You can have street food in the evening right across the street where there are rows of restaurants. Try a glass of warm soy bean drink like the natives do keep warm at night. From the Ngoc Lan Hotel, walk uphill toward the square which looks down at the market and explore that area by foot. There will be plenty of street food vendors with plastic chairs on the side walk and coffee shops.
I think 2-3 days will be more than enough to see the sights in Dalat and its surrounding.
