This hotel was set in the perfect location for exploring Hanoi. Right near Hoam Kiem Lake and all the attractions of the Old Quarter, including landmarks and plenty of restaurants and street food stalls. The rooms were very clean and nice breakfasts. But the best part of this hotel was the staff. They gave great reccomendations for tours and restaurants,... More

Stayed in this hotel in December 2011 & November 2012 and everything about the place is brilliant. The location is perfect for exploring the lake and surrounding old quarter, while the staff do everything they possibly can to make you feel welcome and ensure you enjoy your stay. The breakfasts are simple but perfectly formed and the coffee is as... More

My friend and I decided on this hotel due to reviews on tripadvisor. We were not disappointed! We had a cosy little twin room and were perfectly comfortable. The best feature of this hotel is the staff. They are friendly, concerned for your welfare and extremely competent. We stayed there for two nights, went to Sapa and Halong Bay and... More

Great budget room in the heart of the old city. Our room was clean and comfortable, wifi was fast, minibar well priced. The staff were exceptional - friendly, warm smiles and went well beyond the call of duty (escorted us to the train station, waited with us and made sure we found our train + carriage ok).

The hotel is in a nice, quiet location, only a few minutes walk to the lake. The rooms were nice, although the shower was just a head on the wall with no defined area - one that saturates the whole floor. There was a curtain, but the bathroom still gets very wet (I hate that)! The staff were lovely and... More
