Important Pickup Information (Effective from 1 July 2026)
Due to new traffic regulations effective from 1 July 2026, vehicles with 16 seats or more are no longer permitted to enter certain streets within Hanoi Old Quarter.
As a result, guests staying inside the restricted area may be required to walk a short distance to the nearest accessible pickup point on a main road.
