What Guests Said About Hanoi:

An authentic city, very busy, vibrant, sometimes crazy.
An authentic city, very busy, vibrant, sometimes crazy. The traffic is terrible- bike riders ignore rules and traffic lights. The weather is very humid, can be unbearable in the afternoon. Food and souvenirs are cheap. People are friendly, surprisingly can understand English and even say something (so you can be understood.)RuslanRussia - 10Scored 10
Hanoi is a vibrant, culturally rich city!
Hanoi is a vibrant, culturally rich city! There is so much to do and see. The people are helpful and friendly. Highlights were the Hanoi prison, train street, the old quarter, the lake, Japanese gardens, the Note cafe! Would recommend a day trip to Nim Binh from Hanoi!MelissaAustralia - 10Scored 10
Hanoi is a laid back city.
Hanoi is a laid back city. Lots of lakes, in fact 20 of them, all very clean. The Train street is a must-visit. Food is very good. You must try out their Banh Mi. Check out this video https://youtu.be/WUTYNedstdA?si=POtNsJ6FZE1WrI2x

I stayed 3 nights in Hanoi but it's not enough especially if you will go for a Ha Long Bay Day cruise. More reasons to come back. We tried Bún Chả at the Bún Chả Đắc Kim. While it was delicious, they should reduce the quantity of the serving as there is so much wastage. Even the Europeans couldn't finish the servings. We joined 2 tours - city & food on motorbikes and we loved the experience especially since the weather in Hanoi is milder than in HCMC. Next time around it would be best to visit during the colder months and do a side trip to Sapa.Stella MariePhilippines - 10Scored 10

The location was perfect for taking walks and discovering local attractions like "Train Street" and various street food venues. It was also within walking distance from Hoàn Kiếm Lake.

Hanoi offers a vibrant and unforgettable experience for...
Hanoi offers a vibrant and unforgettable experience for those seeking a blend of cultural immersion, culinary delights, and warm hospitality. Exploring the city's diverse array of bars is a must, each offering its own unique ambiance and selection of drinks to enjoy. From trendy rooftop bars overlooking the city skyline to cozy, hidden gems tucked away in narrow alleys, there's something for everyone. The culinary scene in Hanoi is equally impressive, with bustling street markets and elegant restaurants showcasing the rich flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether indulging in a steaming bowl of pho or sampling fresh seafood delicacies, every meal is a culinary adventure. What truly sets Hanoi apart, however, is its people. Known for their warmth and friendliness, locals eagerly welcome visitors and are always ready to share their culture and traditions. Their genuine hospitality adds an extra layer of charm to an already enchanting city, making Hanoi a destination not to be missed.JanethPhilippines

Thank you for all staff members. Special thank for front office MANAGER.
KarunasenaSri Lanka - From £25.13 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 377 reviewsAmazing location, in a quiet corner but right beside to the main streets of the Old Quarter. Perfect location to rest in a quiet environment and so close of the hustle of Hanoi. But the best is the staff, everyone was so helpful al the time - they gave us tips of where to eat and what to visit. And you can organise all your tours in the hotel, which great. We organise everything with Tam - she was amazing and help us all the time, even by message just to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Best staff ☺️
AnaUnited Kingdom - From £48.87 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,133 reviewsThis hotel is conveniently located in the middle of Hanoi Old Quarter. Right downstairs there is a famous goose pho shop, and 3 min walk away there is one of the best banh mi shops and coffee shop... Staff were also very helpful. They called taxis for us, helped us translate food orders, and even told us where to go for a good rate on currency exchange . If I could subtract half a point for cleanliness, I would, but, come on, you’re in the middle of the old quarter. Overall great hotel for a great price.
