Located about 15 minutes walk to Hoan Kiem lake, in busy side street in Old Quarter. Hotel needs updating. Impressed by reception with lovely, friendly and very helpful English speaking ladies, including the porter and room service maid who refreshed our room promptly each day. Hotel has tour desk. We found the buffet breakfast adequate and good with hot Viet dishes – phor, rice porridge, spring rolls, sausages, meats, veg stir-fries, and for Western tastes – corn flakes, ham, salami, omelettes, or eggs to order, salad, breads, juices, milk and good strong Viet coffee. Different hot dishes each day which we all enjoyed. Good aircon in room which overlooks busy side street. Bath perhaps needs updating. Room has fridge and snacks to choose from. Quiet room.
