Melia Hanoi
Large & clean rooms, professional staff, good facilities (although the jacuzzi wasn’t working in the spa), amazing breakfast. Definitely highly recommended. Good location about 10-12mins walk from the centre of the old quarter, train street and Hoan Kiem lake.

L’HÔTEL du LAC Hanoi
Rooms were small but well kept and efficient. Breakfast had a nice variety of options and once again the staff was excellent. Super central to many locations in the Old quarter. The rooftop bar was nice.

Hanoi Splendid Premium Hotel
Very central location. Room very large and nice. Staff very friendly. Good Value. Feels more like a 4 star than a 5 star as far as size of the hotel is considered. Did not like the breakfast buffet but I don’t like breakfast buffets in general so not a good judge. Overall deserves the 5 stars

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.
