Hanoi Royal Premium Hotel
Fantastic staff. Couldn’t do enough to help. Even put credit on my phone from their personal bank account so I could phone the airline in the U.K. to chase a lost bag. What a fantastic example of excellent customer service

Hanoi Indochine Premium Hotel
Staff were helpful and place was clean. Nice quiet room as it is located on an alley. Beds, like all over Asia were hard but like I said, that. Seems to be the case all over Asia. Nice location. Very walkable.

Clean room very courteous and helpful staff. Being a single female travelller they were very kind and made sure I was okay. Unnecessary but I was very touched by their care. The breakfast was excellent, something for every taste essentially. Lots of fresh fruit.
