Good sized rooms for the Old Quarter. (Most places have such small rooms.) wonderful location, reasonable prices. Great staff, very helpful. Breakfast was decent, nothing great, but good variety for a small hotel.
The staff really make this place extra special. Every single one of them really takes pride in going above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable experience/stay. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Bed is very comfortable. Definitely recommend and will most definitely be back!
Our stay was excellent! The front counter staff was very helpful and arranged any activities we wanted to do. They even lent me their phone charger until i was able to buy one! The breakfast was excellent with a wide range of foods to choose from. The shower was HOT and the room was clean and beds were very comfortable! We would definately stay there again!

The staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
The area around the hotel is very busy - which is to be expected, considering the location. But the hotel is an oasis of peace and quiet.
Everything, from the spacious rooms to the delicious buffet breakfast was above expectations. However, it is the staff that makes it truly incredible.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
All good except that our breakfast was not ready as promised as we left early.
The hotel layout, decor and furniture are oozing with the Vietnamese charm- loved the architecture of inside of the building.
The front desk staff were very kind and helpful( both night and day staff).
Pho for breakfast was an excellent idea for cultural experience. The location of the hotel was convenient.
Only thing that wasn’t excellent was that the bathtub was very old and caulking around the bathtub was crumbling - it looked not clean because it was very old, not because it wasn’t cleaned well. Overall experience was excellent.
Excellent support and service from the staff. We have a family of six (two adults and four children), and booked two rooms. The reception staff were very considerate and provided a rollaway bed (free of charge), and arranged rooms immediately adjacent to each other. Excellent location in the busy Old Quarter and also very quiet inside the hotel. The staff were also happy for us to store our luggage for two nights when we visited Ha Long Bay (before returning back to the hotel for another night).
The staff also arranged a transfer to Ha Long Bay for our family in a seven seat vehicle, and it was a much cheaper option than using Grab or a website.
I rate this hotel and the staff extremely highly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Very good location. Many good dining/drinking and shopping options within a 300 metre radius. Breakfast food options were limited but average for this level of accommodation in Hanoi - everything was fresh and staff were very helpful.
The motel is well located in the heart of the old district, clean and comfortable in relation to the expense of the room, which I thought was very reasonable.
Nice hotel, great location, The room was spacious, but had to ask for towels.

The room was very nice but the staff made our stay special. Antony, the general manager went out of his way to recommend great restaurants, spa services and tours. He was spot on with his recommendations. Also his tips about ATMs, safety on the streets and other services were so appreciated. The rest of the staff were equally helpful and kind. We would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to visiting again. Thank you to all the staff but especially Antony.
Location alone is a good reason to stay at this hotel, but the staff here are excellent and more than helpful. Anthony, and the rest of the front desk will help you with all your plans and put a smile on your face. The rooms are adequate, and the property is a little dated, but if you can over look that, you will be very happy choosing this hotel. The breakfast is very good, and the neighborhood is safe, but incredibly busy. Much like most of Hanoi, the side walks are difficult to walk on because of motor bikes parked on them. A great hotel in a great location

Liked: Staff & service
This hotel felt like it needed a good clean in places (in the bedroom) and some modernising/refreshing. I.e new shower curtains. My room wasn’t particularly soundproof either so a fair bit of noise transferred from around the corridor and lobby a couple of floors below.
The hotel staff were really friendly/ helpful though.

Noisy AC
This is an old hotel, the AC is very noise and control by them, if shutting off AC, they will come knocking at your door at 4am.
Avoid!
This property was a major disappointment. The room I was given was not in a liveable or hygienic condition, and nothing matched the standards shown online. The environment was unsafe for me, especially as I’m disabled and rely on clean, accessible accommodation.
I informed the staff immediately, but they were unhelpful and refused to offer a refund, despite the serious condition of the room. I had to leave for my own health and safety.
I strongly advise future travelers to avoid this property. There are far better options that actually care about guests’ wellbeing.
