My husband and I stayed here for...
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in June and had a wonderful time. This is a beautiful hotel, and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Hanoi. The hotel is located in the Old Quarter, about a healthy 3/4 mile walk from the lake. The hotel has been remodled at some point, because it is in impeccable shape, and the bathrooms are modern, clean, and spacious. The decorations throughout the hotel are tasteful, and although our room was small, it was extremely nice.
We ate at the hotel restaurant (located on the top floor) twice, which was great. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, and they have a full bar. We sat out on the restaurant patio one night and had drinks and appetizers and listened to the street noise down below! They put out an excellent complimentary breakfast buffet each morning, which is a great way to start the day.
The hotel receptionists were very helpful with any questions we had about the area. They even let us store our luggage there for 3 days while we did a cruise through Ha Long Bay.
This hotel is a wonderful find. I highly recommend it, and if we ever make it back to Hanoi, we will definately stay here again.
