L’HÔTEL du LAC Hanoi
A lovely clean room, and a hotel with great amenities. Wonderful, friendly staff who can't do enough for you. This hotel is an absolute gem! Highly recommend a massage at the spa, which was incredible. The rooftop bar is good too! My only small point would be that the bathroom was looking a bit tired ...
