Hanoi Gecko 2

Great value for great rooms

What we say: 4 stars

This newish place, with eight floors accessible by lift, opened in August 2008. It boasts a prime location for the Old Quarter, on a relatively quiet lane right in the centre. Staff are really great, and while the first floor lobby is nothing special, the rooms are: there's a quality of atmosphere and design that you'd pay a good bit more for elsewhere, with hardwood floors, wide, fluffy beds, and everything still looks new and clean. It's right across the street from a seedy rip-off joint that keeps changing names, and if you wind up being taken there, via taxi scam or whatnot, just duck in here very quickly and they'll rescue you. It's the little things that really make this place stand out for us: rooms include breakfast, prices include taxes, and all room rates include free use of a laptop provided by the hotel. What's more, all the bathrooms come with hair dryers. It might not seem like much, but we don't know of any other place in Hanoi in this price range that is putting in that kind of effort. Recommended.
