Home of Serenity – 3 BR & 3 baths – 1′ to Hoan Kiem Lake & Old Quarter Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Home of Serenity – 3 BR & 3 baths – 1′ to Hoan Kiem Lake & Old Quarter, you immediately understand why this four-star property has such a perfect location score. I mean, you’re literally steps away from everything that makes Hanoi magical — the lake where locals do their morning tai chi, the maze of streets in the Old Quarter where the real action happens. The building itself sits right on Phố Tràng Thi, which honestly couldn’t be more central if it tried. You know what struck me first? How quiet it feels inside despite being in the absolute heart of the city.
The Space Itself
This isn’t your typical hotel room situation — we’re talking about a proper three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment that actually gives you room to breathe. Each bedroom has its own character, and the bathrooms are surprisingly spacious (which, if you’ve stayed in central Hanoi before, you’ll appreciate). The living areas flow naturally together, making it perfect for families or groups who want to hang out together but also have their own space. I loved how the windows let in so much natural light, and you can actually see glimpses of the lake from certain angles — not a full lake view, but those little peeks that remind you where you are.
Location Magic
Here’s the thing about staying this close to Hoan Kiem Lake — you become part of the daily rhythm of Hanoi life. Early morning, you’ll hear the gentle sounds of people exercising around the lake, and by evening, you’re watching couples stroll along the water (which explains why couples rate this place so highly). The Old Quarter starts literally at your doorstep, so you can wander into those narrow streets for pho at 6 AM or hunt for late-night street food without any planning. Plus, and this is huge for Hanoi, there’s actually free parking — try finding that anywhere else in this neighborhood.
Practical Comforts
What I really appreciated were the thoughtful touches that make a longer stay comfortable. The kitchen is properly equipped, not just for show, which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets and actually cook if you want a break from restaurant meals. The three bathrooms mean no morning queues, and there’s enough storage space that you can actually unpack and settle in. The Wi-Fi works reliably (tested it for video calls), and the air conditioning keeps things comfortable even during Hanoi’s sticky summer months.
Why Guests Love It
That perfect 10 rating isn’t just about the location, though that’s certainly part of it. It’s about having a genuine home base in one of Asia’s most exciting cities — somewhere you can retreat to after getting wonderfully lost in the Old Quarter’s chaos. Couples especially seem to love the romantic proximity to the lake and the fact that you can walk to incredible restaurants, temples, and markets without dealing with Hanoi traffic. The space gives you options: intimate dinners at the apartment, morning coffee while watching the city wake up, or spontaneous evening walks around the lake. It’s that rare combination of being right in the middle of everything while still feeling like your own private sanctuary.
Best hotels in Hanoi combine rooftop infinity pools, Vietnamese tasting menus, and curated art tours.

Reviews of Home of Serenity – 3 BR & 3 baths – 1′ to Hoan Kiem Lake & Old Quarter
Cibyl from Philippines – 3 April 2025 (10/10)
We were surprised that the location is close to the lake, and despite not being located in the Old Quarters, I think it is more strategic to have a quiet place in the city.
We love how the host check on us all and they provided all the request that we asked. They were willing to provide luggage storage if you're gonna check in early and check out late. They are so kind.
The unit is brand new, great interior design. Tho one must know that the place has 5 floors, rooms are located in 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor – so you might need to consider your peers if you're bringing seniors or PWD.
Overall, this is a bang for the buck!!! Experience is superb <3 Definitely will recommend to friends.. More powers to the host!Hoàng from Vietnam – 18 March 2025 (10/10)
