Hanoi Royal Premium Hotel
Situated in the heart of downtown Hanoi. I prefer nicer hotels, but was ok for the price. Room was clean, but view was ugly (room 501). It is an hotel for poor people. Breakfast is horrible and room for breakfast in basement very ugly. Not my type of hotel.

L’HÔTEL du LAC Hanoi
Vey clean boutique style hotel right in the center of it all in old town. Very attentive staff and a wonderful buffet style breakfast every morning. There are menu items that are made to order for no extra charge. The rooms are very clean. The amenities in the room are great! I can’t say enough good ...

Hanoi Indochine Premium Hotel
Amazingly friendly staff, fantastic service and a great location. Mia, Cindy and Jimmi could not be more welcoming. It is well worth paying the small additional fee for an upgraded room if you can.
