–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Parking may be limited — While the hotel lists parking as an amenity, the old quarter location means parking can be tight or at an extra cost.
- Some rooms lack natural light — The Superior Without Window and Deluxe Internal Window categories mean not all rooms have an exterior view.
- Potential bathroom design issue — At least one guest reported that the bathroom layout left water across the floor after a shower.
- Weighty spa and massage menu — The spa offers a wide range of treatments, but some guests may find the add-on costs increase the overall bill.
- Check-in starts at 14:00 — If you arrive in Hanoi early, you may need to wait or store your luggage before the 14:00 check-in time.
