The hotel is located in the heart of the old quarter, providing quick access to the beautiful madness that is Vietnam's street culture. The hotel was very accommodating, sending a driver to pick me up who navigated the streets swiftly and skillfully, like he was auditioning for a James Bond stunt driver position.
After the thrilling ride I was greeted by the front doorman who immediately got my luggage for me and offered me a refreshing glass of something fruity. The receptionist then helped me exchange currency, and get a sim for my phone, probably saving my dopy American butt from getting scammed three times before I got to my room.
The room itself was clean and far quieter than I anticipated based on the location. I was on the 7th floor though so your mileage may vary. The hotel provides Samsung smartish tvs that are a few years old but work fine if you want to stream to it and the shower and bathroom both felt new and clean.
Breakfast seems to change depending on the day but always includes hot rice with corn or noodles, sausage, bacon, toast, assorted ingredients to make a sandwich, and freshly cooked eggs uppon request. There is also fruit and dessert type pastries as well as juice I think... Just know that you will have a lot of good options for breakfast.
It's not an overstatement to say the hotel was the sturdy anchor that made navigating the exciting, tumultuous sea of Hanoi's Old Quarter a breeze.
