I had a lovely time at this hotel, which is located in the bustling old town of Hanoi. The rooms were in good condition and came with a nice balcony. The service was decent, though it could have been a bit faster. The highlight was definitely the great location, as I was able to walk easily to Hoan Kiem Lake and explore the Old Quarter. Overall, it felt like good value for money, although some amenities could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel located in the bustling old town of Hanoi. It’s super convenient, being close to all the main attractions, and the staff was incredibly friendly, which added to the positive experience. The room was in good condition, but I did hope for a bit more comfort. While the location is fantastic, the dining options could use some improvement, and the value for money isn’t the best given the amenities offered.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is nestled in the bustling old town of Hanoi. The rooms were clean and had a comfortable vibe, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The location is fantastic, right next to the church and plenty of attractions. However, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, and while the amenities were decent, they could improve overall. Still, I felt it was good value for the price!
