D’Leroi Soleil – Westlake Suite & Apartment

D’Leroi Soleil – Westlake Suite & Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking into D’Leroi Soleil – Westlake Suite & Apartment, you immediately get that boutique hotel vibe — it’s polished without being stuffy. The lobby feels more like a stylish apartment building than a traditional hotel, which honestly makes sense given the name. Located right on Xuân Diệu Street in Hanoi‘s Tay Ho district, this four-star property sits in what locals consider one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. You know what struck me most? The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is refreshing in a city where tourism can feel pretty impersonal.

The Westlake Location

Here’s the thing about Tay Ho — it’s where expats and well-traveled Vietnamese choose to live, and there’s a reason for that. You’re literally steps from West Lake, which means morning jogs along the water or evening strolls become part of your routine. The street itself is lined with cafes that serve proper coffee (not just tourist stuff), and I mean really good coffee. Couples seem to love this area — honestly, I can see why, since you get that romantic lakeside setting without the chaos of the Old Quarter. The neighborhood has this relaxed, almost residential feel that makes you forget you’re in a city of eight million people.

Accommodation Details

The room I stayed in felt more like a serviced apartment than a typical hotel setup — there’s actual space to spread out your stuff. Most units come with a proper kitchenette, which is clutch if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and cook something simple. The beds are comfortable (firm but not rock-hard), and the bathrooms are modern with decent water pressure. What I appreciated most was the attention to soundproofing — Xuân Diệu can get busy during the day, but you barely hear the street noise once you’re inside.

Practical Perks

The breakfast situation here is actually pretty thoughtful — they offer vegan options and breakfast to go, which is perfect if you’re planning early morning temple visits or want to eat by the lake. There’s parking available on site, which might not sound like a big deal until you try finding a spot in central Hanoi. The staff can arrange motorbike rentals, and honestly, this location makes it easy to zip around the city. You’re close enough to the action but far enough away that you can actually relax when you want to.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating the location pretty highly — and after spending time here, I get it. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Hanoi rather than just visiting it. The combination of lakeside tranquility and urban accessibility works really well, especially if you’re staying for more than just a quick weekend. The apartment-style setup means you’re not eating every meal out (your wallet will thank you), and the Tay Ho location gives you access to some of the city’s best local dining without the tourist markup. It’s the kind of place where you actually look forward to coming back at the end of the day.
