The Golden Lotus has a dozen very smart rooms, making it a cut above the bunch for this price range in Hanoi. Set on fashionable Hang Trong Street, you're but a short walk from chic cafes, endless galleries and, of course, oodles of noodles. The rear rooms are very well-sized, while the front rooms on the upper floors are smaller but have -- wait for it -- spacious verandas that are actually large enough to relax on, a true rarity in Hanoi. Front rooms on lower floors have only tiny balconies. The views from the upper floors are good, and the top front room (701) sacrifices some room size for an even bigger veranda -- this is the choice room in the complex. Rooms are kitted out with all the mod-cons, including ADSL internet access, and the beds are just right. Rear rooms have kitchenettes (sink and work-space only), and if you asked to get an extra bed thrown in they'd be ideal for a family. The staff are professional and friendly making this an overall excellent choice. Recommended.

Overpriced...lousy breakfast - 27th June, 2008
I've stayed here twice in the last year. While the rooms are comfortable I think there are some serious service flaws with this hotel and breakfast is a joke. For breakfast, only offer a couple of items that are not very good. My wife asked for water to drink at breakfast and the women answered sternly, ''no!'' The staff is generally friendly but not all of them. On my first stay I was mislead to believe I needed a special ''airport taxi.'' OK, they called the taxi and it came late and I missed my flight check-in, my ticket was voided, and I had to buy another ticket (S180) for a flight that left 10 hours later. I wrote the hotel a letter complaining and received an apologetic reply but there was no offer of a discount for another stay or compensation. It's an OK hotel in a great location but I think they need to work on their service and breakfast. It would almost be better to have no breakfast! Our ''deluxe'' room was $65us...that's a lot for Viet Nam. I will not stay here again.

Great location, good value - 21st February, 2008
Big room was tastefully furnished and very clean with an impressive bathroom (we had rear room with mini-kitchen on 3rd floor). King size bed was enormous with lovely bedding. Located in great part of Old Quarter and only few minutes walk to the Lake. Bit pricier than other placed we stayed in around Vietnam but we were happy with our experience and it seemed pretty good value for Hanoi.

Nice, but... - 19th May, 2006
Tip 1: The taxis at Hanoi airport will instantly tell you they know everywhere. The Golden Lotus is actually known by it's Viet name, so take the address.
My wife and I plus our 14 month old boy stayed in room 201 for 4 nights. Very clean and altogether wonderfully presented room (we took the deluxe) - probably the best I've stayed in in that price range. The soundtrack of Hanoi is car/motorcycle horns parping 18 hours a day, so I'd suggest a higher floor. Tiny balcony (not as per Travelfish review) - couldn't fit a chair on there. Breakfast is very basic, though. Staff were generally good. Only one receptionist seems to speak reasonable English. Particulalry unimpressed with her local knowledge/advice (e.g. didn't know that all museums are closed on Mondays). Far too interested in selling the city tour, which was absolutely pitiful - avoid this at ALL costs.
Despite this, a good location, a nice place and polite service. Recommendable.
