Description
The Tien Thuy is a little bit of a stroll from the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter, but for some travellers that's probably just what the doctor ordered. Friendly, English-speaking staff will show you room after room after room, and while there are just the three price grades, no two rooms seem quite the same. The cheapest are on the higher floors, and while very generously sized, they do not have balconies, though there's still a good view over tiled roofs. Bathrooms are large across the board and all rooms come with air-con and TV. Hang Thung St is quite un-touristed, so the place has more of a local feel than those just a block or two north. Rates include breakfast.

Good base -

) Stayed here 6/2008
Booked by email and received prompt reply. We were collected from airport to avoid taxi hassle and check in was smooth and efficient. Our room was a deluxe: comfortable, clean and spacious with a balcony; computer, fridge and TV (satellite channels eg HBO, Star World); fresh flowers and complimentary fresh fruit everyday. The hotel stored our luggage at no extra charge while we visited the Northwest. Fast laundry service. There was no hassle about extending our stay and all staff were polite and welcoming. All-in-all, a reasonable place to base yourself while you find your bearings. Very convenient location. We were sorry to leave, but did so due to the street noise and finding somewhere cheaper and quieter. If the hotel had double/triple glazing this would be a real winner.

Nothing Special - 
By coffeeaddict ( total comments: 2 ) Stayed here 7/2007
Booked by email, very prompt reply. Just as noisy as the rest of the old quarter. The room was nice but the other guests included noisy children and a cat that yowled! The staff were friendly, the breakfast very average, so we hunted around and found it was offering pretty much the same as every other hotel for 2 dollars dearer. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.

Artist Hotel
22A Hai Ba Trung St, Hoan Kiem District
The Artist Hotel is an interesting find for those who want to strike out off the tourist track and hang out with, well, artists. The hotel is managed by the Ha Noi Centre for Tourism and Culture (that is, the government) and has decent rooms set around a central courtyard area. We've seen better... more
Prince 79 Hotel
79 Hang Bac St, Hoan Kiem District
The front rooms at the six-storey Prince 79 Hotel have balconies and accordingly catch a bit of street racket, but for an almost-budget room, you could do worse. Rooms are semi-clean, if you don't mind the odd cobweb, and the bathrooms are moderately-sized, though the cheapest rooms do not have... more
Old Darling II and Asia Queen Hotel
16 A-B Trung Yen Lane, Dien Liet St, Hoan Kiem District
This place used to be the most wretched of the 'Darling Backpacker' rip-off outfits -- some users complained of being kicked out of a room simply because someone else showed up willing to pay more! That's rough, even by Hanoi standards. But the offending owners are now gone, and the the Old Darling... more
Youth Hotel
33 Luong Van Can St, Hoan Kiem District
Based on the name, you might suspect that this is a hostel for backpackers, and it sort of is -- the dorm offers four cheap sleeps for the budget crowd, but the rooms are priced for backpackers with good jobs. The kitschy log-cabin design of the interior is actually kind of fun, and the reception... more
Bamboo Central Stars Hotel
So 8 Dao Duy Tu Lane, Hoan Kiem District
Take note that this place is actually located on a lane that branches to the west of Dao Duy Tu Street, not on the street proper. We've got a lot of intelligence about the Central Stars (we're not sure how the word Bamboo popped up in the name, but there it is) and it seems to boil down to this:... more
A Dong Hotel
46 Luong Noc Quyen St, Hoan Kiem District
Formerly the Van Xuan II Hotel, the A Dong has changed ownership and got its act together. It's no wonder they got rid of the old name -- there were some horror stories circulating about the place. They used to have some cheap rooms, but after being remodelled, they're just outside budget range.... more
Ocean Stars II
So 10 Dao Duy Tu Lane, Hoan Kiem District
This place used to be a rip-off outfit, but the building owner evicted the folks running the old 'Old Darling,' rebranded, and has set up his own place. Ocean Stars now has very a comfortable and well-designed interior, the rooms have been revamped with recessed ceilings, mood lighting and... more
Hanoi Hostel
85 Thuoc Bac St, Hoan Kiem District
We're a little suspicious of Hanoi Hotels with multiple names -- often they're trying to dodge a bad rep they earned under one name, but they're too cheap to change their old signs. Hanoi Hostel (also known as Red River I Hotel), is set on busy Thuoc Bac St, and on our first visit here we struggled... more
Rose Hotel
56 Ngo Huyen Street
The area around the cathedral is a great place to stay -- quiet, pretty, and a lot of interesting restaurants and cafes to check out right near by. So we tried to find some good-value budget accommodation -- unfortunately it seems to be something of a 'flashpacker only' neighbourhood. This place is... more
