Staff was very nice and easy to talk to. They made airport pick up and drop off smooth. The room was not terrible but some weird smells and beds not super comfy. Great location to walk to nearby coffee shops and the lake view is very pretty.

Hanoi is an old city, don't expect clean roads or posh buildings it's not that type of city. Expect to sit on plastic chairs and eat in places that at home you wouldn't go near but you need to because the food is amazing. Train street was frustrating

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Take great care crossing roads. Green man means nothing and scooters go in all directions.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Once you get used to navigating the lack of pavement/ traffic situation this is a lovely city worth exploring.
