Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals need to make other arrangements.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59. Late arrivals after midnight may need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception.
  • Limited on-site parking — No parking is listed, which could be a hassle for guests driving in Hanoi's busy Old Quarter. Car hire is available, but parking is not guaranteed.
  • Small property — With only 29 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate but can book out quickly, and shared spaces like the pool could be busier during peak times.
