“Great hotel with great staff”
Exceedingly charming, warm and friendly staff-- this itself makes this hotel one of the best I've stayed in around the world. The hotel and room is very nice by Hanoi standards-- includes in room AC, fridge, safe, elevator, and breakfast buffet. Very clean and comfortable, quiet with the windows closed. If you book directly from their website, you can get free transport to/from airport with a 3 night minimum, and you pay as you check out. Property is in the Old quarter and within walking distance (or cheap taxi ride) of most Hanoi tourist spots. It is also near the backpackers hostel, and the famous "bia corner" by several blocks, so there are dining and and entertainment options catering towards the western tourist nearby.
