Description
Benefit from our hard work: Our innovative hotel opened in June 2007 at the very epicenter of Hanoi's Old Quarter. Gaze out at the bustling streets of Hanoi from the balcony of your contemporary room, complete with full-size bathtub, marble countertops, modern air conditioning, free wifi internet access, and hardwood floors. Relax in your room or visit the on-site Lani Lani Contemporary Art Gallery. If you can tear yourself away, there are other entertainments within sight of our front door.
Spoil yourself: Beginning on the same block as our hotel are the shoe borough, the made-to-order and ready-made clothing section, and the bar and restaurant district, all part of the delights of the Old Quarter. Nearby conveniences include supermarkets, ATMs and the ANZ Bank, the local post office and FedEx headquarters, plus the modern shopping mall of Hanoi, Trang Tien Plaza. Try one of the nearby salons, specializing in a variety of massage techniques, hair styling, as well as manicures and pedicures.
Soak in the culture: The streets surrounding our hotel are filled with French colonial architecture, history and art museums, handicraft shops, speciality restaurants with local cuisine, and art galleries displaying the best original art of Vietnam. Take a cyclo ride through the streets on your own, or join a City Tour to see the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum, as well as Ho Chi Minh's personal residence.
Enjoy the tranquility: The mystical Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple, Hanoi's most photographed site, is only one block away. Enjoy one of the rooftop cafes to survey the lake and take photographs to remember your journey. Join a boat tour to Halong Bay, a World Heritage Site, reknowned for its breathtaking beauty and mysterious caves. The more adventurous can take a trip to Sapa to trek through the mountains and climb Vietnam's highest peak, Mount Fanispan. While there you can enjoy waterfalls, open-air markets, and even spend the night with a Hmong family. We have organized tours or can arrange the tickets and information you need to travel independently. Be sure to check the daily specials offered by our own A Plus Travel Company.

The location in downtown Hanoi, by Hoan Kiem Lake is quite ok. But there are many guesthouses and hotels in the area. Better pay the same the money in a clean, friendly guesthouse than in a dirty, greedy hotel.

Very good location, close to all the places of interest. Hotel is clean and room we stayed was very spacious. All the staff was helpful and all spoke english so no comunication problems. We used hotel to book our Halong Bay cruise and coach to Hoi An what was very handy as we didn't have to waste our time to look somewhere else. Breakfast included in price was good with tasty "drink as much as you can :)" vietnamese coffee.

This was our second stay at this property. This time we stayed in a superior room which was excellent - the room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful. You can't beat the location of this hotel within the Old Quarter, near the market, shopping, lake, water puppets and restaurants.

The location is excellent, just a walk distance to the night market and water puppet theater. But the hotel charged for a day tour very expensive.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was quite nice although we did not have a window, which doesn't matter cause you won't stay that long in your room when you visit Hanoi.
