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 that make it a good place to check out if you're bargain hunting. It's a family place -- on our visit that meant toddlers running around and the air filled with the smell of home cooking and laundry. It's one of the few Hanoi joints that hasn't really lost its Vietnamese feel, and can be recommended on that score alone. The level of English is not high, but they make up for that with enthusiasm. The folks here also own and run the Lighthouse dance club near the river.
