Fodor's Expert Review Hanoi 3B Hotel
20 Hong Phuc St., Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam
Located just outside of the Old Quarter's center of gravity, this hotel offers serious bang for your buck. Staff go above and beyond to make a stay an enjoyable one, offering advice on local attractions and booking onward tickets and tours to places such as Sapa and Halong Bay. Towels are folded to look like swans while rose petals form heart-shaped patterns on the beds. It is a little corny, sure, but there are far worse welcomes to have. Like most of the hotels in the Old Quarter, breakfast is included.
PROS
- palatial lodgings at affordable prices
- staff can help organize tours
- close to Long Bien market and Truc Bach
CONS
- surrounding restaurants aren't tourist friendly
- local neighborhood won't be for everyone
