Prayer Facilities

Muslims visiting the Crazy House will not be able to find prayer facilities. They may however be able to get permission to use one of the rooms available to offer their prayers. If unable to do so, Muslim visitors will have to return to their hotel rooms at prayer times, since the city of Da Lat does not have any mosques.

Halal Food

Since the Crazy House also functions as a guesthouse, visitors may be able to order some food while here. If there is food to order however, it is sure to not be Halal. Muslim visitors will therefore have to dine on suitable vegetarian and seafood dishes. There are also no Halal restaurants in Da Lat, but there are plenty of vegetarian and seafood restaurants.
