Nam Hai 1

Noisy but friendly - 2nd February, 2007
Agree with flowers23 that the front rooms are very noisy and now cost $25. However, since you should definitely have brought you earplugs with you to Vietnam this is not too much of a problem. Otherwise the staff are very friendly and the tour agency they use is ODC which was excellent. The rooms are huge, if slightly tatty, and the breakfast was okay. Recommended, mainly for the friendly staff and the tours.

Apparently has changed ownership in 2007, no longer part of the camellia group: ''Dear guests, Thank you so much for your interest in our Camellia hotel Group in the past years. We would like to inform you that Anh Dao hotel- 37 Ma May Str. HN and Camellia 3 hotel- 31 Hang Dieu Str. HN will not be under our management from Feb 15th 2007. We will not be responsible for everythings from the customers such as: complaints, criticisms about their services. In order to meet the customers’ demand, we are now going to open the new 4 star hotel with an international standard in Hue City named Camellia hotel. We are going to upgrade the service quality and working style for all the rest hotels: Camellia 2, Camellia 4 in Hanoi and Orchid hotel in Hue. We hope to have a chance to greet and welcome all customers in all over the world to our hotels in the coming years.''

Nice place - just renovated - 12th August, 2007
We stayed there for the last night before going back home. After spending some nights in the Central Stars hotel at the beginning of our trip (where we were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the room) we were looking for a cleaer place, thats what we found here IMPORTANT: The hotel has a new name: NAM HAI 1 Hotel. It must just have been renovated since we had an absolutely new bathroom, great new a/c, TV, fridge. Paid 20 USD for the night, good breakfast included. Staff friendly.

probably one of the best in old quarter - 29th October, 2006
Very clean, spacious for $12 room, friendly & value for money (back room is preferred). Recommended. Especially for those who is joining or just got back from Handspan tours at the following morning.

Stay away from the front rooms. - 7th June, 2006
Took the advice to go for the front room with a balcony, well its great if you have earplugs and can sleep through incredible noise. Had one night in a front room with no sleep then we moved to the back rooms that were small but functional and quiet!!!!! Plus they were $15 a night a real bargain. Breakfast and internet included not a bad deal. Would not stay in the old quarter again if we were to visit Hanoi, too noisy.
