Beautiful historic hotel with rich history going back to 1901. Conveniently located close to Hoan Kiem Lake, Old Quarter... But beside those, you have to take taxi or Grab which is cheap: 2,3 USD or Euros. I love everything about the hotel: the staff gave excellent service, always make you feel VIP,, Rooms are clean, beds are very white and comfy( top notch). Baths feature Balmain soap and shampoo. Glass bottled water. Everything yells high class. Would highly recommend if you can afford while in Hanoi.
