Description
In a city where so many hotel staff are bored and burnt out, this place is a breath of fresh air. The guesthouse sits near the northern end of Tam Thuong alley, which offers a modicum of piece and quiet, and the sparkling lobby features new internet terminals and a lift, as well as low-pressure tour bookings and good travel advice. It's not quite the budget option is once was, and you'll sacrifice in terms of space in order to stay here: the foyer is small, the rooms smaller, and the bathrooms smaller still, but we reckon that's a small trade off to enjoy a pleasant, hassle-free stay in Hanoi. Add $1 a day for unlimited internet use in the lobby. Recommended, though some Travelfish users warn that their reservations have not been honoured.

Not to be trusted with reservations and therefore lacks credibility. The receptionist lacks responsibility and is rude and uncaring about other people's concerns. Upon arrival was shipped to the Kims Do as reservation not honoured. Stay away from both -- Kims Do is even worse!

Confirmed double room through email, but at arrival not available. Had to move to TinTin Hotel(very poor -- avoid at any cost!) for one night. Another couple had the same thing happen. After just one night in a US$22 room we had enough and checked out, moved to Holidays Hotel(24 Hang Manh St) for a superb room -- very big and clean. At Manh Dung friendliness is a facade... Have a look in the rooms and compare them with others. They are tiny and not worth more than $10!

Little Hanoi Hostel
48 Hang Ga St, Hoan Kiem District
We've never been great fans of the Little Hanoi Hostel, but the addition of a cheap six-bed dorm is starting to sway us. Set on noisy Hang Ga Street, Little Hanoi Hostel has barely adequate rooms both above the ground floor travel agency and at the rear of the guesthouse. If you choose to stay... more
Phu Hoa
16 Luong Van Can
The Phu Hoa is easy to miss -- a small sign marks its location down a narrow corridor between two other buildings to the entrance, somewhere in the centre of the city block. Yup, don't expect any great views, but we found a very friendly reception, and basic but cheap rooms with a fan-only option... more
Prince 57 Hotel
57 Hang Be Street
We received a very friendly, casual reception on our visit here. When we asked to see a room they tossed us the key and let us go up on our own, and when we forgot to shut the door after leaving, they made us go back and close it! But in a nice way. Really just the kind of folks you're looking for... more
