For my second stay in Hanoi, we chose without hesitation to return to Phoenix Palace First, for his AWESOME staff friendliness, attentive, and kindness! Then, to the comfortable rooms, well equipped and well maintained, the location, in a quiet street, and close to everything, walking distance such as monuments, museums, shops, grocery stores, restaurants. Also, for hearty breakfasts, all freshly cooked, and at will!! Finally, because it is still better than home!! It really felt very much like home, and the service is AWESOME! Like last year, we organized all my live tours with the hotel, a quality organization, at very reasonable prices in comparison with other local travel agencies such as Halong Bay, Sapa by night train, Ba Be Lake, Along Bay on land, and villages around Hanoi, the hotel driver. Go there with confidence, you will be very satisfied.
