TINH ANH HOME

TINH ANH HOME Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to TINH ANH HOME on Trần Hưng Đạo Street, you’d honestly miss it if you weren’t looking — it’s tucked into this narrow building that’s so typically Hanoi Old Quarter. But step inside and there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cares about this place. The lobby isn’t huge, but it’s thoughtfully designed with clean lines and warm wood touches that feel authentically Vietnamese without being touristy. The staff greeted me in English right away, which was a relief after a long flight, and I could tell they were genuinely happy to see guests arrive.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about this four-star hotel — the location is absolutely unbeatable for exploring Hanoi’s heart. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, which means you can easily stroll over for that early morning tai chi scene or evening lakeside coffee. The famous weekend night market is right there, and honestly, I found myself wandering back to the hotel between exploring sessions because it was so easy. What I really appreciated was being on a slightly quieter side street — you get all the Old Quarter energy without the constant motorbike honking directly under your window.

The Room Experience

My room at TINH ANH HOME was compact but smartly designed, which is exactly what you want in this part of Hanoi where space is premium. The bed was actually comfortable (not always a given in boutique hotels), and there was this lovely little seating area by the window where I could watch the street life below. The bathroom surprised me — modern fixtures and a rainfall shower that had proper water pressure. I mean, the room wasn’t massive, but everything felt intentional and well-maintained. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which you’ll definitely appreciate during Hanoi’s humid months.

Service & Amenities

What really sets this place apart is how the staff anticipates what you need without being intrusive. They helped me book a Ha Long Bay tour at a fair price, gave me a hand-drawn map with their personal restaurant recommendations (which were spot-on), and even stored my luggage after checkout so I could explore more before my evening flight. The rooftop terrace became my favorite spot for morning coffee — you get these glimpses of the lake and can watch the city wake up. There’s also a small business center if you need to print boarding passes or catch up on emails.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally understand why couples rate TINH ANH HOME so highly — there’s something romantic about the intimate scale and thoughtful touches that bigger hotels just can’t replicate. The combination of being steps from everything important while still feeling like a peaceful retreat is pretty rare in Hanoi. You’re paying for location and genuine hospitality here, not flashy amenities, and that trade-off makes perfect sense for most travelers. I’d definitely stay again, especially knowing how easy it makes exploring the Old Quarter’s maze of streets and discovering those hidden gems you can only find on foot.

Reviews of TINH ANH HOME

• Marina from Australia – 25 May 2025 (5/10)

  The room was a reasonable size, bed was comfortable and close to Hanoi railway station if you are travelling by train
  
  What could be improved: The location is very difficult to find, the sign for the apartment is difficult to see and we felt that better information could’ve been given in sending photos of the entrance as is down a small lane and doesn’t show up properly on Google Maps. The lady at Reception was lovely but speaks no English at all and had to contact the host by phone whilst we were there. We were only given one elevator key and one room key which meant that neither of us could go out separately for a walk etc. As we couldn’t get back in. I ended up asking the lady the next day for a separate key which she was reluctant to do but it was necessary. When we arrived, the fridge was still full of food from the previous guest which smelt badly, the Reception lady came and cleaned that out after we contacted the host to let them know. There was no rubbish bin in the kitchen and the toilet paper was the last small amount remaining left by the previous guest, I had to request toilet paper. The main cupboard doors wouldn’t open so we struggle to get the quilt out for the bed at night, the air conditioning is reasonable but not fantastic and the Internet was very poor. There is major construction on the main road as they appear to be putting in a new underground railway system from Hanoi railway station. We felt instructions could’ve been much clearer over all . The host did address each of the issues that we mentioned above but not a good start to a stay in a hotel. We have been travelling Vietnam for five months now and this is probably the least Suitable accommodation we have booked so far

• Shangheng from Taiwan – 24 May 2025 (9/10)

  睽違半年又回到Tinh Anh，和上次住在同一間房間，一切非常的熟悉，設備也維護的很好。距離火車站很近，交通便利。以後會再回來。

• Fred from United Kingdom – 21 February 2025 (9/10)

  Very clean room, comfortable bed, easy check in and very close to the train station. Early check in was also possible!

• Loekie from South Africa – 2 January 2025 (9/10)

  Nice room. Big bed.
  
  What could be improved: No staff at reception

• Stephanie from Netherlands – 12 December 2024 (8/10)

  The room was very spacious and beautifully maintained, offering plenty of comfort and a modern, well-equipped bathroom. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any questions or needs. The location was absolutely perfect—everything you might need was within close proximity, and most attractions or key spots could be reached on foot in under 30 minutes, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area.
  
  What could be improved: There was a significant amount of noise. The sounds of the elevator, neighbors, and street activity were all quite loud. Additionally, construction work was ongoing, causing disturbances even at night. The bed also creaked noticeably whenever you turned.

• Maťová from Czech Republic – 30 November 2024 (9/10)

  Very cozy, clean and modern apartment approximately 15min by foot from the Old Quarter. The owner agreed with late check-out because of our late flight. Everything was perfect.
  
  What could be improved: Close to the apartment is a construction. It can be disturbing at night however we didn't have problem with sleep. The receptionists are nice people but they are not speaking English, that's why our check in took more time.

• Tobias from Germany – 11 November 2024 (9/10)

  We liked that the apartment because it was so close to the Ha Noi railway station. It was spotless clean and had everything we need. They owner its chariming and realy friendly. We asked if we could check out later and she said its no problem. A water cooker was there air condition works fine. When we walked to the apartment we saw that a construction is in front of the apartment we expected that it would be noisy in the morning. But surprise it was not noisy so in our opinion it was really quiet we slept well. We can highly recommend this apartment because of the location and quitness during the night.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing everything was perfect

• Phoebe-jo from United Kingdom – 1 May 2024 (9/10)

  Huge tv with Netflix App. Bed and pillows were super comfortable, open planned and spacious, shower was amazing. Kitchen with plates and utensils. Host was very responsive via the booking.com App. Excellent laundry service nearby that offers pick up/drop off service.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was great!

• Kimberly from United Arab Emirates – 29 April 2024 (8/10)

  The room is big, clean and very modern and just across the train station.
  
  What could be improved: If you plan to walk around the center and old town it is not the best but of course theres always a taxi to book by grab or rent a scooter.
