Indochina Queen Hotel
Good rooms, though exercise caution

What we say: 
After numerous name changes (was previously Bamboo Central Stars II) and numerous owners who have run the place badly, a new regime has, once again, taken over here, remodelled, re-branded, and is trying to make a fresh start. We always thought the rooms were good and worth the price, and now, with the remodel, even more so: They're well-sized with comfortable bedding and clean bathrooms. The top end balcony rooms here are downright spacious for the price, with fine views on a quiet street. The triples and family rooms are a particularly good deal. We'd be giving this place high marks if it weren't for the long reputation hotels at this address have had for high-pressure tour sales and generally harassing and infuriating guests in various ways. The new manager here worked in Sapa for six years, speaks English well, and promises the hotel will be a kinder, gentler place to stay. Let's hope so. Take note that this place is actually located on a lane that branches to the west of Dao Duy Tu St, not on the street proper.

few weeks stay here under new ownership
note: this hotel is now called 'indochina queen' and is under new ownership feeling a bit road weary, decided to stop and get lazy in hanoi. settled for the nice and cozy indochina queen hotel. main reasons i chose this place in decreasing order of priority: 1. location: very central yet nice and quiet since it's kind of tucked away in an alley between two other streets. 2. friendly staff: smiling, cheerful staff that make you feel very welcome here. 3. huge rooms and 4. good price with free breakfast and wifi included.

Average stay...
We booked our first nights in the bamboo hotel in hanoi, however we ended up in the central stars hotel. as travellers might know from their arrival in vietnam we were overwhelmed by the first impressions, so we did not even figure out that we were at the wrong place in the beginning and nobody from staff lost a word about it. great plus for the free airport pickup (usually taxi transport is about 10 USD) but after having seen other hotels we have to say, that many other had much more to offer. bathroom was not clean at all, loud room with noise from stairway and street. breakfast is very basic... staff was friendly but was selling tours much too expensive and was a little pushy. we were right after arrival uninformed - they wanted to sell us their stuff right away. we would cut at least about a third of the price next time and would bargain high :-) paid USD 14 for room with a/c, tv, mini bar - internet free. fair stay, but better value definitely available!!

Good but shop around for tours or diy!
Staff friendly, helpful and very efficient, excellent English. $15 room good but $10 better value for money. $15 room is a little bit bigger, with a bath in the bathroom which is useless since the water pressure isn’t that strong so the hot water runs out before the bath is even a quarter full, plus a balcony that looks out onto another ugly dirty building and a narrow alley down below. Room(s) spotless and very spacious, wooden flooring a nice touch. Bed was good and firm with decent pillows, towels good. Pretty quiet except for karaoke we had to endure for some time in the $10 room.Bathroom clean with flush western toilet and hot shower, hot water doesn’t last too long though. Electrical outlet. Don’t know about bag storage but sure they have. Free internet available in lobby and 4 computers. A place to have free breakfast that is included as part of your stay (baguette, jam, banana and coffee/tea) is across the narrow alley by the entrance. Numerous restaurants in the area ranging from cheap to affordable to ridiculous. Laundry service is available. No international payphones that we saw but there are places that provide international call services.Travel advice provided by staff is good and helpful but do your own research too to determine when they’re helping you and when they’re helping themselves.
