From its eighth-story restaurant to its moody basement bar, the upscale Hanoi La Siesta Hotel Trendy offers a stylish, modern, and upscale boutique feel that’s still fresh from its 2016 opening. Indeed, past guests rave about the food (including a free breakfast buffet), the trendy bar, and the impeccable service. The hotel’s 70 rooms and suites are stylish with wood floors and furnishings and details like mosaic tiled entryways and tray ceilings, though bathrooms tend to be narrow and entry-level rooms lack exterior windows. There’s no on-site pool or gym, but the hotel has a spa with six treatment rooms. The property's Old Quarter location is excellent, in walking distance to eateries, markets, sights, and Hoan Kiem Lake. For similar amenities, travelers may want to compare rates with the nearby O'Gallery Premier Hotel & Spa.

The 17-room Tu Linh Palace Hotel is a small and basic budget hotel located on the western side of Hanoi's atmospheric Old Quarter, close to a large selection of restaurants, bars, and shops.

This small hotel does not have many facilities, but it does offer free breakfast as well as free Wi-Fi. There's a travel desk in the lobby where tours and other services can be arranged, and reception is open 24-hours.
