What we say:

Rising Dragon Hotel is part of a chain of hotels in Hanoi, all of which get rave online reviews. On first glance you'll wonder why. Tatty reception area is tatty, and the layout random, and barred windows look out onto an internal open-air space. Rooms, however, aren't bad at all. They're fitted out with oak-coloured laminate furnishing, and even the standard s are a reasonable size, although the twin beds are smaller than average and they only have a small window facing the inner courtyard. Family rooms are worth a look even only for a couple, as they're extremely spacious and well-priced. Overall, not a top choice, but good value in a central location and staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Modern and spotless rooms

After our first night stay in Sister's Hotel (a run-down Hotel with two fake names: Backpackers and Especen. Be careful with taxi scams!) we found Rising Dragon a good place to stay. Althought the hall was not very well furnished and it vas a bit smelly, the romms were clean and quite big, with a huge flatscreen tv and new toilettes. It's not a luxury option but beds are comfortable and the staff is nice. And the most important thing: they didn't made any pressure on us to book any tour or excursion! Ask for family rooms with balcony if you are a travelling in group.

Best location, helpful staff and good value

Our stay at the Rising Dragon was fantastic. Mr Trung and his staff were very freindly and helpful and arranged all our travel in the region. Their recommendations of good eating places nearby ensured we ate some very good food. The room was large, quiet and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the pillows the best we had in any hotel ensuring a great nights sleep. The location is fantasic near the lake and in the middle of the old quarter easy walking to places of interest. We really enjoyed our stay here and especially appreciated the genuine friendly service. We will definitely return and will tell all our friends to stay there. Thank you Mr trung staff for making our stay in Hanoi so special.
