London Hanoi Hotel

London Hanoi Hotel Overview

You know what struck me first about the London Hanoi Hotel? It’s tucked away in this quiet lane off Tran Thai Tong Street, which honestly is perfect if you want to avoid the chaos of the Old Quarter but still be connected to everything. I mean, Cau Giay District isn’t where most tourists end up, but that’s actually part of its charm – you get a real sense of how locals live without sacrificing comfort.

The hotel itself is solid four-star territory, though I’d say it feels more authentic than those cookie-cutter international chains. When I walked into the lobby, there was this interesting mix of colonial-style furniture with modern Vietnamese touches that didn’t feel forced or touristy. The staff spoke excellent English (which, let’s be honest, isn’t always a given), and check-in was refreshingly quick. My room was on the fifth floor – decent size, clean linens that actually smelled fresh, and the air conditioning worked properly (crucial during Hanoi’s sweltering summers). The bathroom was well-maintained, though the shower pressure was just okay, not amazing.

What I really appreciated was the location’s practical side. There’s a local market about a ten-minute walk down Tran Thai Tong where you can grab incredible pho for breakfast – way better and cheaper than hotel food. The nearby streets have those little family-run cafes where you’ll see office workers grabbing their morning coffee, which gives you a glimpse into real Hanoi life. Getting to the city center takes about 20 minutes by taxi or Grab, and honestly, the rides through the residential neighborhoods are half the fun. You’ll pass by small temples, street food vendors setting up for the day, and kids heading to school on the backs of motorbikes. The hotel’s rating sits at 7.1, which feels about right – it’s not going to blow you away, but it delivers on what it promises without any nasty surprises. I noticed some minor wear in the hallway carpets and the elevator’s a bit slow, but nothing that actually impacted my stay. The breakfast spread was decent with both Vietnamese and Western options, though the local dishes were definitely better than the continental stuff. If you’re the type who needs to be in the thick of tourist central, this might feel too removed, but for travelers who want authentic neighborhood vibes with proper hotel amenities, it hits that sweet spot perfectly.

• Moosung from South Korea – 11 December 2023 (8/10)

  나름 가격에 비해 괜찮았음. 중국인 단체 관광객이 많이 오는것 같았음. 식사도 나름 괜잖음. 가성비 측면으로는 굿~
  
  What could be improved: 트윈룸으로 예약했는데 비행기 연착으로늦게 도착했더니 방이없다며 더블룸으로 배정해주었음. 다음날은 정상적으로 배장해주었음.. 나머지는 그럭저럭 괜찮음
