My room was over the common room so I got no sleep. The bedding in my room had a horrible odor so who knows the last time it was washed? I slept with my clothes on.
The staff is untrained because the receptionist picks his nose at the desk and one of the women who works there clipped her nails at the breakfast table. Actually very nice people but with disgusting habits that shouldn't be seen in a hospitality setting.
The whole stay here was just gross.

I booked a family suite at this hotel. Check in was very welcome and friendly. The room is spacious for 3 adults and 2 children. In the evening I got a little problem with the sink in the bathroom. Breakfast is on the ground floor and its included when you book at this hotel. The staffs are super kind and speak English fluently and the price is very reasonable.

Affordable hotel in the middle of the old town district. Clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms including breakfast too. Staff very helpful and willing to hold on to bags while you go to Ninh Binh or other side trips. For a two star hotel it was outstanding !

We've just returned from our second stay at Rising Dragon 1. The rooms are large and clean and the staff are the friendliest I have come accross at any hotel where I have stayed. As a rather large gent I instantly became "Happy Buddha" to all of them. This is the only hotel where I've got a hug from the receptioist when I've checked out.

Straight out the door and on to Hang Be street and you're in the old quarter with just a two minute walk down to Hoan Kiem lake. Can't wait for our next visit.
