A fine choice

What we say:

This place remains a flashpacker slam dunk. We've never received anything but rave reviews about it, and everything we saw on our recent revisit tells us this is a place that knows how to maintain a consistent standard of quality. The streetfront rooms at the Classic (also known as Pho Co Hotel) are the cheapest of all the options, and they're pretty good value. Slate bathrooms are a refreshing change from ugly tiled affairs that feature in most Hanoi hotels and rooms are well-sized and very clean, with a better standard of finishing than you'd normally get for this price range. Try for a room on a higher floor if you don't mind the climb as some have fine views over Hanoi's mosaic of tiled roofs, as well as providing more peace and quiet. And if you like your staff clean-cut, English-speaking, and incredibly courteous and helpful, you've found your Hanoi digs. The location is excellent and not surprisingly, this very popular hotel is often full. Reservations recommended.

Clean & Convenient

Clean, yes. Convenient location, bang on! Breakfast to be skipped. Rooms are fine and comfy, except get one in the back, as street noise goes from 5 am ''til 10 pm. Friendly professional staff. Lots of interesting deco. Great shower pressure!

A Solid Option

Great location, very helpful/friendly staff. Room was fine and had no street noise. Two free pc's available for internet access. In general maybe a little over priced, but all-in-all we very much enjoyed our stay here.

Clean and quiet

Not the cheapest hotel in the area but worth the extra few dollars. Good sized rooms, very clean and well appointed. The staff are also very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The location is superb, smack in the middle of Pho Hang Be and just one minutes walk (if you can dodge the street hawkers) from Hoan Kiem lake. If I'm ever back in Hanoi I'll be staying here.

Friendly

A bit more money than we wanted to spend, but a really decent hotel that is surprisingly quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful despite our very early arrival (off the train from Sapa) and very early departure (to the airport for a 6am flight)
