10/10 Exceptional

Great value, clean room, helpful staff.
Great value, clean spacious room, helpful staff. Well located near St. Joseph’s Cathedral, which means loud bells early in the morning! Not an issue for us, but it wouldn’t suit someone with difficulty climbing stairs, as there was no lift.
Vincent, 5-night trip

Relaxing and fun!

Great value and location!
Perfect location. Very fast wifi. Great AC. Its a little rustic but it feels like vietnam and not just another hotel. I would stay here again and would recommend it to true travelers. If your too picky then stay home.

Great trip
Hotel is very well situated among the sites and a large amount of food options. Great for a short stay to pack lots in. The rooms were large, clean and with good aircon.

Wonderful Hotel in the Old Quarter Hanoi
Thanh and the hotel staff have been very warm and accommodating throughout my entire stay in Hanoi. The hotel is very convenient and accessible to most areas in the old and french quarters. St. Joseph cathedral is just one corner away from the hotel and it is also very close to Hoan Kiem lake. I would highly recommend this hotel. Best value for your money.

2/10 Poor

Dirty, Mouldy and Noisy!
Reception not manned! Had to wait nearly 10 minutes for service. Bed sheets had not been changed; had body fluid stains, pillow had blood stain. Shower was broken. Mould on walls in room, bathroom and hallway. The very loud speaker from government announcements right on our balcony. Very noisy! Staff did not learn the word "sorry", just a blank look when we complained.
shervin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay! Excellent area for walking to everything. Hotel is dated and needs refurbishing but still the rooms were clean. There was mold in the bathroom. Staff were helpful but didn’t speak English however they did their best by translating using their phone. It’s quite lively around the hotel and during the week early morning an announcement and music is played loud via speakers outside the hotel in Vietnamese. Overall it was a good place to stay and would recommend it as a means to sleep but not for relaxation.
Ruth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Suitable for the hard-of-hearing
Noise, noise, noise noise ..... No chance of sleep; no soundproofing; street noise outside, cockerels start crowing 4:00am followed by barking dogs at 4:30, motor bikes at 5:30, church bells at 6.00, 129 decibel loudspeaker at 7:30, etc etc. Luke-warm bathroom water, bathroom 90cms wide, paint peeling off internal walls, no lift - only a steep spiral staircase - and no fire escape. Pity, because it's just on the edge of the picturesque and iconic Old Quarter.

Personalet var meget sødt, ligger centralt, men også i et meget støjende område.

Recomendable pero mejorar la gestión
El hotel económico y muy buena ubicación... Correcto por la categoría de dos estrellas.. Limpio y con buena servicio de habitaciones Eso sí .. había cambiado y pagado la reserva de 3 noches por una de 4 noches pero al llegar no tenían libre la habitación. El dueño nos ha llevado a un hotel cercano que era malo no...misero...la falta de limpieza mínima era brutal .. no estaban limpias ni las fundas de almohada....Pasamos una noche fatal en un sitio muy sucio simplemente por la mala gestion de nuestra reserva

Hôtel basique mais correct. Draps et serviettes propres, sanitaire basique mais propre, douche très sommaire. Rue moyennement bruyante pour le centre ville de Hanoï

施設は古いが居心地が良い
1人旅、階段無しの5階に3泊。施設は古くエレベーターが無いため最初は戸惑ったが、レセプションに常に人がいてとても親切。シャワーの温度も問題なし。場所も良く(静かでは無いが常に人が居て安心)安価なのに、毎日の掃除、タオル交換、アメニティや水の補充があり居心地が良かった。
