Budget hideaway

What we say: 4 stars

You'll find some of the cheapest rooms in Hanoi at the Thu Giang Guesthouse, but you need to be prepared to get what you pay for. Rooms are all small and in need a coat of paint, but clean. What makes this place outstanding is the guarantee that you won't get ripped off. Apparently all the scruples lost elsewhere in town have made their way here. Staff are warm and friendly, they speak English well, and seemingly never pressure guests to book tours. They don't employ touts, and they'll never try to pull a fast one on you, and it's been that way for as long as we can remember. They'll even arrange pick up from the train or bus station if you call ahead, making this a great first stop when you pull into town. Be sure to try for a front room as you may get a balcony that juts out over the laneway, which is a true Asian experience. The bathrooms are tiny and the cheapest rooms have an outside bath, though you won't have to share it with anyone. The family room sleeps six, but there's an additional per person charge for more than three people. A good place to meet some fair-dealing Vietnamese folks as well as other budget travellers.
