The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi

The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into somewhere that actually cares about details. The lobby has this understated elegance — not trying too hard, but clearly a four-star property that knows what it’s doing. I mean, you can tell right away that this isn’t just another cookie-cutter business hotel. The staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests arrive, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re tired from traveling.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about Ba Trieu street — it’s one of those addresses that locals nod approvingly at when you mention it. You’re right in Hai Ba Trung district, which puts you close enough to the Old Quarter’s chaos but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. The location rating of 9.3 from recent guests isn’t just numbers on a screen; couples especially love it here because you can walk to great restaurants and cultural spots without dealing with the tourist madness. Plus, having private parking available is actually a big deal in Hanoi — trust me on this one.

The Room Experience

The rooms at The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi strike that perfect balance between modern comfort and local character. Everything feels thoughtfully designed rather than just functional — you know what I mean? The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-brochure comfortable), and the bathrooms have that spa-like quality without being over the top. What I really appreciated was how quiet the rooms are, even though you’re on a main street. The soundproofing actually works, which isn’t something you can take for granted in Vietnamese hotels.

Service & Amenities

The staff here really knows Hanoi — they’re not just reciting tourist pamphlets when you ask for recommendations. I watched them help other guests with everything from restaurant reservations to navigating the city’s quirky transportation options. The concierge service feels personal rather than scripted, and they seem to take genuine pride in showing off their city. It’s that kind of local knowledge that makes a hotel stay feel less like you’re just passing through and more like you have friends in the city.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.7 rating, The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi has figured out something important — it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, it does the fundamentals really well while adding those little touches that make you want to come back. The combination of that prime location (seriously, couples rate it 9.1 for good reason), reliable service, and rooms that actually feel like a retreat makes it work for both business travelers and people exploring Hanoi for pleasure. It’s the kind of place where you end up extending your stay if you can, not because there’s nowhere else to go, but because you genuinely don’t want to leave.

Reviews of The First Ba Trieu Ha Noi

• Allwyn from India – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very nice big room with all amenities and kitchen space. Owner is around for any help when required. Bathroom was outside the room but with plenty of hot water and all facilities. It was not a problem for us. The area is also well located with local restaurants and cafes and very easy to navigate around. Thank you
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Marta from Australia – 13 February 2025 (8/10)

• Monkhochir from Mongolia – 11 October 2024 (9/10)

  Host was very nice. Affordable price.
  
  What could be improved: On advertisement it was said that check out time was till 00:00 am so i thought late check-out was included in the price which is the main reason i chose this place. I paid additional 40% for late check out. Other than that it was good.

• Matthew from United Kingdom – 26 November 2023 (9/10)

  This is a very well designed flat – stylish and airy and full of great plants… with a big bedroom and excellent facilities. The owner, Tuong Huy, is an artist with great taste and a worldly, cool and discreet but very helpful manner (also speaks excellent English and has lived around Europe). I still don't know Hanoi so well but so far I still prefer this neighbourhood for its local feel and convenience to all the other parts I've visited. (Huge shopping mall nearby if needed, but full of local restaurants and cafes and v few tourists – yet only a 25-min walk into the old quarter.) An excellent place to return to from the more manic parts of Hanoi.

• Iuliia from Russia – 14 May 2023 (9/10)

  • Beautifully decorated private apartment on lively, but not very noisy street. Paintings even in bathroom, stylish details, a lot of mirrors. Private art gallery atmosphere. Kitchen view on crossroad is everything! Real Hanoi city life through windows.
  • Friendly and helpful host.
  • Great location 10-15 min by foot to Hoan Kiem Lake, Old Quarter and other historical places. A lot of cafe, massage & shops near, no nightlife after 22:00, so you can peacefully sleep.
  • Ac & fans, big sunny personal bathroom with window, comfy bed, sofa, smart tv.
  • Cozy greenhouse style kitchen has table & chairs, big fridge, coffee maker, electric stove, kettle, a lot of dishes and cookware, adorable tea cups and bowls, fan and huge tropical plants. Nice sunny place to drink coffee and sit in front of opened window peacefully watching city life.
  
  What could be improved: It was sad to leave, we wanted to stay more. It was like real home away from home!

• Henning from Germany – 10 May 2023 (9/10)

  Great and big apartment with an artistic style.
  Kitchen with everything needed and very nice terrace to sit.
  Very Kind owner and the apartment is well located.
  All over we just felt very comfortable and really liked to stay at this place.

• Haixiey from Malaysia – 6 April 2023 (9/10)

  Facility great. Hospitality superb.
  
  What could be improved: The staircase to the room.

• Clara from France – 30 March 2023 (9/10)

  Authentic homestay, artistic atmosphere, clean and well-furnished room in a nice house with a pretty balcony, in a pleasant suburb of Hanoï. I also appreciated being very well welcomed by the owner.

• Ngoc from Vietnam – 21 February 2023 (9/10)

  A truly relaxing place with lots of natural light. I was surprised that it was soooo fully furnished and make us feel like home. The owner was welcoming and supportive. Though the location is not right in the city center, it’s about a few kilometres away which makes it fine to walk towards there. The area is quiet and has many restaurants which can leave you a food adventure 😋

• Butler from United States – 15 November 2022 (9/10)

  The host was impeccable! He was very kind, patient, welcoming, and always ready to help. He made easing into Hanoi much easier. He was very insightful on all things Hanoi, and it was always a pleasure to interact with him. You get an authentic experience staying at The First Ba Trieu and the amazing art and host is a big bonus.
  
  What could be improved: It's in the city center, so prepare to hear the city. This was not a con for me, but may be for someone looking for something more quiet.
