Hanoi is filled with a wide choice of accommodation by Huan Kiem District. Especially Mini Hotel, it is the Vietnamese style. Mimi Hotel is a shop house converted to be hotel organised by SME or Family Run.
Stay
Hotel rates in Hanoi and
elsewhere in Vietnam are not expensive compared to other countries in Southeast
Asia. They are usually scattered in the same district, so highly competitive.
If it is not the peak season such as Tet (Vietnamese New Year) we can walk in
without a reservation.
Cheap rooms may be on a
high level as 4th-6th floor and no elevator. Some room have no windows, some
room have a small outlet or window open to see the walls of adjacent buildings.
Some room can be noisy with the sound of a motorbike engine. Shopping around is
good chance to bargain and having cheap and great room if you are not too
tired.
I had the opportunity to
stay both in the Dorm-Room of popular budget hotel and Double Bed room in the
famous 5-Star Hotel.

HRV is located in the Old
Quarter. Little far from Huan Kiem Lake compared with other popular budget
hotels.
The advantage is that I
can walk to various destinations in such a short distance from hotel such as
airport mini bus station on Quang Trung Street, Thang Long Citadel, and Huan
Kiem Lake.

The hotel is old and well
known as one of the legends of Hanoi. The location, architecture, interiors,
facilities, food, beverage and service are superb.
I am impressed with how
attentive the staffs are. Apart from politeness, they are observant, ask or
assistance without requested by the customer.
