The Light Hotel is EXCELLENT! Great, helpful staff ( "Tony" was especially kind in offering suggestions, showing me the amenities offered by the hotel.) It is very clean and comfortable, and the small rooftop pool was quite refreshing.The buffet breakfast was full of choice and delicious. The bar/lounge was friendly, welcoming, and the " Happy Hour" specials were especially nice. The location, near shops, " Train Street", and other Old Quarter sites makes this the perfect place to stay in Hanoi in my opinion. And the price was reasonable too! I'll definitely plan on staying here in the future when I return to Hanoi!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were wonderful. Always quick to help. My room was roomy and clean. Although the description for the so called windows are a bit misleading. They are small and facing your neighbors window. The dont overlook anything other than your neighbor who have similar view. The breakfast was disappointing. Very limited selection and quite bland most days. The gym is alright. Bench press with Olympic barbell and plates that have a combine weight of 60kg. Not much, but better than nothing. Dumbells that go up to 24kg, Butterfly machine and pull down machine.Plus 2 treadmill and a stationary bike. A little cramp if you have more than 5 peole working out at a time. Open time is 10am-10pm. The location though is convenient because you can walk to all the sights and attractions in and out of the old quarter. Circle K is nearby and so is a Pharmacy. Tons of food option on both side of the hotel.

This was a beautiful hotel with incredible customer service. Even without a window, we loved our room and our every need was catered to. Probably the best breakfasts we had in terms of choice out of all the hotels we stayed in in Vietnam. Convenient location. Massages from the spa were also totally relaxing and convenient to have in the hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Not My Best Experience
The good things were only the breakfast (a vast selection of buffet) and location (located in Hoan Kiem but at a quiet spot). Other things were not that great. I rented out the most expensive room in the hotel (Grand Terrace Suite) but it was pretty basic. Firstly, I was really disappointed because although arranged before arrived I was only looking for a double bed, king or queen room, thus if they cannot provide this, I would prefer to cancel the booking, they assured me that my request is complied. When I arrived, I found my room with two single beds combined. It was very frustrating. The amenities in the Grand Terrace Suite were also quite basic compared to other Grand or most expensive rooms I stayed in Hanoi. Also for other hotels, it is normal to provide two cards when requested but it is weird that they rejected this request and can only provide one card for a room. The staff were kind. But for the money that I paid, I feel strongly is not worth it.

Very noisy large group of teenagers staying
Staff EXTREMELY helpful and kind especially the door men/ bell boys. Hotel a little dated. But clean. Shame that the gym doesn’t open until 1130 am as I’d like to exercise before breakfast. My main issue was when I stayed there were more than 150 teenagers staying on several floors. They were running around and screaming until after midnight singing and running between rooms. I asked a few times for them to be quiet if made no use. I got the impression they have groups like this staying often. It felt like a hostel.
