Times City Homestay

Times City Homestay Overview

First Impressions

Times City Homestay sits inside the Times City complex on Minh Khai Street, and honestly, the moment you step in, it just feels right. It’s not a towering corporate hotel — it’s got that warmer, more personal vibe that you don’t always expect from a four-star property in Hanoi. The staff greet you like they actually want you there, which sounds like a small thing but makes a real difference after a long travel day. Everything feels considered without being over-designed.

Location & Neighborhood

The address puts you in Hai Ba Trung district, which is one of those parts of Hanoi that locals actually live in — not just a tourist corridor. You’re close enough to the Old Quarter to get there easily, but far enough that the streets outside are calm and walkable. The Times City mall is basically on your doorstep, so grabbing a coffee, picking up snacks, or finding a decent dinner is genuinely effortless. Guests have rated the location at 8.9, and I’d say that score is well earned.

The Rooms

The rooms here are clean, well-kept, and — well — actually comfortable in the way that matters. You get solid air conditioning, decent Wi-Fi, and a bed that doesn’t make you regret your booking. The “homestay” in the name isn’t just marketing; there’s a coziness to the space that a standard hotel room rarely pulls off. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend a quiet evening in rather than feeling like you have to go out.

Perfect for Couples

Couples especially seem to love this place, and it’s easy to see why. There’s something about the scale and the atmosphere — it’s intimate without being cramped, and the surrounding area has plenty of spots for a relaxed evening walk or a meal for two. The Times City complex itself has a nice open area that’s pleasant to wander through at night, with lights reflecting off the lake nearby. I mean, it’s not a grand romantic escape, but it genuinely sets the right tone for a trip with someone you like.

Why Guests Love It

Times City Homestay has an overall guest rating of 8.6, which in Hanoi’s competitive accommodation scene is actually saying something. What keeps people happy here seems to be the combination of a real neighborhood feel, a location that works hard for you, and staff who don’t make everything feel transactional. It’s the sort of place you’d recommend to a friend visiting Hanoi for the first time — or the fifth time, honestly. You get the comfort of a four-star stay without the cold, impersonal edge that sometimes comes with it. If you want somewhere that feels like a base rather than just a bed, this one’s worth your attention.

Early hotels booking in Hanoi secures VIP water puppet seats, countryside scooter tours, and pottery workshops in Bat Trang.

  We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, much more spacious than living in a hotel. It is very close to a lot of shops that sell different things you might need. Good range of restaurants with lovely food.

• William from Canada – 14 December 2022 (6/10)

  we chose the location to be close to what we wanted to do
  
  What could be improved: the kitchen and bathroom were filthy, we mentioned this to the lady showing it and she wiped off a little from around the sink. she later brought some scrubbing sponges and some useless little towels. the bedroom was divided from the living room by a sliding glass door, no curtain, totally all visible from the living room, couldn’t shut out the light from the living room. There were a few dirty pots in the cupboard. Quite disappointing. we only used the microwave a few times.

• William from Italy – 29 July 2022 (8/10)

  gli appartamenti a Time city sono sempre una certezza. gli host sono puntuali e precisi e hanno l’abitudine di farti trovare un piccolo necessaire, sia in bagno che in frigorifero
