Large & clean rooms, professional staff, good facilities (although the jacuzzi wasn’t working in the spa), amazing breakfast. Definitely highly recommended. Good location about 10-12mins walk from the centre of the old quarter, train street and Hoan Kiem lake.

Rooms were small but well kept and efficient. Breakfast had a nice variety of options and once again the staff was excellent. Super central to many locations in the Old quarter. The rooftop bar was nice.
