In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location in the Old Quarter — Just a 5-minute walk to Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square and close to Hoan Kiem Lake and St Joseph Cathedral, many guests highlight the convenience for exploring Hanoi's historic centre.
  • High staff ratings — Staff are consistently described as friendly, accommodating, and helpful, with one guest singling out an employee named Man. The Staff rating category is 9.7, the highest of all categories.
  • Spacious, clean rooms with kitchenettes — Several guests note large, spotless rooms with kitchenettes, fridges, and balconies — perfect for longer stays or families.
  • On-site spa and wellness centre — Treatments include back, head, foot, and full-body massages, plus facials and body wraps — a convenient way to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Breakfast variety sometimes limited — One guest was disappointed by the lack of choice at breakfast, though others appreciated the mix of Western and Vietnamese dishes and fresh fruit and coffee.
  • Comfort and facilities score lower than other categories — The Comfort rating is 7.2 and Facilities 7.5 — below the overall 8.9 — suggesting some guests find the rooms less comfortable or the facilities less polished than expected.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Potential for street noise — The hotel is on a central street in the Old Quarter, which may be lively — although rooms are soundproofed, light sleepers might still notice some ambient noise.

Getting around Hanoi

The property sits in Hanoi.

Old Quarter: The hotel sits on Hang Trong Street, a 5-minute walk from Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square — the gateway to the lively Old Quarter with its markets, street food, and historic buildings.

Hoan Kiem Lake: Just two blocks from the lake, a short stroll to the water's edge and the iconic Ngoc Son Temple. Guests often mention the lake as a place where 'something is always happening'.

St Joseph Cathedral: Close enough to see from some balconies, this neo-Gothic cathedral is beautifully lit in the evening and surrounded by cafes and shops — a favourite spot for guests.
