I stayed at Mia Sen VONG Hotel in Hanoi and overall had a positive experience—great location, just a short metro ride from the city center. However, there was one disappointment: I was promised a room with a window when booking, but it wasn’t available upon check-in, and I had to pay extra to upgrade. That felt a bit unfair. Also, even though the minibar was charged, there was no menu provided—no way to know what was available or how much things cost. It made using the service frustrating. The hotel has good potential, especially with its value-for-money pricing, but a few small improvements in communication and guest convenience would make a big difference. Would consider returning if these issues were addressed.
Staying at Mely Hotel was a great experience overall. The hotel is easy to find and located just a short walk from the metro station, making it super convenient for getting around Hanoi. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—always smiling and ready to help with any request. The room was spotless, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and quiet surroundings perfect for a good night's sleep. It’s a fantastic choice for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, and excellent value. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Hanoi—it’s truly worth trying!
The Vong Xua Boutique Hotel offers surprisingly spacious rooms for the price, and while the furnishings are a bit dated, everything is clean and well-maintained. What really stands out is the convenience—there's a small grocery store and a restaurant right on the ground floor, making it easy to grab snacks or enjoy a meal without leaving the building. Located just a short walk from the city center, it’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet yet central base. The value for money is outstanding—this place feels like a hidden gem in Hanoi.
I absolutely loved my stay at VP Hotel Luxury! The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with a modern touch—everything you'd want for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I slept like a baby. What really stood out was the location—super convenient for getting around Hanoi by metro, with great access to local restaurants, cafes, and shops right outside. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they even left a little welcome gift in the room—such a nice personal touch. For the quality, price, and overall experience, this hotel is an unbeatable choice. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Hanoi!
