Old Darling II and Asia Queen Hotel

Cheap but really dirty - 9th August, 2009
We walked around Hanoi's old quarter for about 2 hours looking for a hotel and couldn't find one that had availability and reasonable prices, so we decided to book online. The Asia Queen was the cheapest we found at US$15 including breakfast (which is not very good, but it's something). Didn't like the hotel, because it was dirty! The first night I smelled something funny on my sheets. They were wet and dirty -- they had not been changed from the previous night from other guests!! We had to personally remove the sheets for them to understand that we wanted CLEAN sheets. It was nasty!

Scammers! Don't support them! - 27th February, 2008
I went by to book a room, the man who helped me seemed nice. He showed me the room, we agreed on $14 for a double and I paid a deposit of $6 to reserve the room for the next night. I told him I wanted that room in particular and he assured me that it would be mine. The next morning, he told us the room wasn't ready yet and to please wait in the lobby. After about 25 mins. he came up to us and said another room was ready and it had a heater and he'd give it to us for the same price. We checked it out, but it was next door, inferior and the heater (AC 2-way) didn't work. The room was not worth $14. So we went back and I found him upstairs outside the room I'd booked, which was empty and I told him I wanted the room I reserved. He finally had to admit ''his staff had booked it without his knowledge''. He should have been honest from the beginning. I believe he found someone willing to pay more for the already over-priced room. I got my deposit and we stayed at 79 Prince Hotel, very nice!

Scammers! Don't support them! - 24th February, 2008
I gave a deposit for a room the day before. The man working there, promised me the room, he seemed nice and he told me to come by in the morning. When we arrived the room wasn't ready and we had to wait 25mins. Finally he suggested another room for the same price, but with heater, we said we'd look at it. It was next door, inferior and the ''heater'' AC 2-way didn't work. I told him I wanted the room we agreed on and finally he admitted ''his staff had booked it the day before without his knowledge''. He had no other rooms available and I got my deposit back. He should have been honest from the start, he wasted our timeand gave us the runaround. I believe he found someone willing to pay more than $14, which was already over-priced. 79 Prince Hotel, near by is really nice, the staff is great and the rooms have nice warm comforters. Asia Queen lives up to its bad reputation.

Terrible - 9th November, 2007
Got kicked out because some people said they'd pay more - they literally went into my room and packed my stuff while I was gone - even though I had confirmed I was staying on. My laundry was handed back as well and it was only later that I discovered that it hadn't been done. Do not stay here.
