Oakwood Residence Hanoi

I've stayed at countless hotels over the years, but this one truly exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and delicious. The rooms are incredibly well-equipped with a small kitchen complete with utensils and dishes, which made cooking our own meals a breeze. The gym is modern and spacious, and the pool area is peaceful and inviting—perfect for unwinding. We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend here. Plus, the location is fantastic: just steps away from amazing restaurants and easy access to everything in the city. It’s rare to find such a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value—this place is a standout.

Somerset West Point Hanoi

Staying at Somerset West Point Hanoi was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The pool has three depths—0.5m, 1m, and 1.5m—perfect for kids to splash around safely. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, featuring a separate living area, kitchenette, and full laundry facilities with both washer and dryer. While the washing machine does take a bit of time to complete cycles, it’s still very convenient for longer stays. Breakfast is served in a modest-sized dining area, not overly large or diverse, but the highlight is definitely the pho—it's fresh daily, flavorful, and authentic. They also offer fresh watermelon and honeydew melon every morning, which is such a refreshing touch. Right outside the hotel, there’s a cozy massage parlor that’s affordable and relaxing—ideal for unwinding after a long day. Nearby, you’ll find a small convenience store stocked mostly with Korean and Japanese goods, but they also carry local favorites like Vietnamese yuzu cookies, coffee, and coconut ice pops—great for souvenirs or snacks. I’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for travelers who value comfort, convenience, and a home-like feel.

The location is fantastic; just steps away from a Michelin-rated restaurant, so dining out was effortless and delicious. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat in the heart of Hanoi, especially with such a great value. Would absolutely recommend and plan to return.

Sheraton Hanoi Hotel

Staying at Sheraton Hanoi Hotel was one of the quietest experiences I've had in any hotel—seriously, it felt like a peaceful oasis amid the bustling city. I'm not sure if it's because most locals ride electric scooters (which are quieter than regular motorcycles), but the ambient noise level outside was surprisingly low, making for a restful night's sleep. The location is excellent—right in the heart of Hanoi, just a short walk to major attractions and public transit. Breakfast was a highlight: diverse, fresh, and well-prepared with both local and international options. Comfortable rooms, great service, and an overall experience that exceeds expectations. If you're visiting Hanoi and want a calm, convenient, and high-quality stay, this hotel is absolutely worth considering.

Pan Pacific Hanoi

Staying at Pan Pacific Hanoi was a real highlight—being right on the edge of West Lake makes for incredible views, especially from rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to stunning lake vistas. The photos are absolutely picture-perfect from those angles. That said, not all rooms offer the same view; some have smaller windows, which limits the scenic appeal and makes photography trickier. While the room interiors do feel a bit dated, the location more than makes up for it. Easy access to downtown by metro, peaceful surroundings, and that unbeatable lakeside setting really elevate the experience. It’s a great choice if you value ambiance and convenience over ultra-modern design.
