L’HÔTEL du LAC Hanoi
We had a fabulous stay at L’hotel du lac. The location was perfect. For being in the middle of where you want to be, our room was shockingly quiet. The room is not huge but it was very comfortable, everything we needed! I would definitely stay there again and I will be recommend any friends visiting ...
