This was a good stay. The room was nice, the staff friendly, and the breakfast area on the top floor had a great view. The location is perfect, on a side street just off the main hub at the top of Hoan Kiem Lake. That puts you close to the old quarter, with its markets, and the high-end part of town, with the nice shops and restaurants. Only drawback -- it was a bit more than I usually paid for a three-star in Vietnam.
