i have to say it from the beginning: this was my first time in vietnam and I realised it's not for me. so take my review with cautiousness. we arrived in the middle of the night and first we thought the driver took us in some dangerous favelas. we were wrong. the driver took us from the airport in hanoi,... more

We stayed at Hoabinh Palace hotel for a few days in February and September 2009 for the whole month. The staff and manager at the hotel were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home .They treated us like royalty and became true friends.Nothing was too much trouble, they called taxis, arranged for the... more

The hotel rooms and breakfast was ok. I don't know how it compared to other hotels as I didn't visit any. We did though stay in a hotel in Ho Chi Minh for cheaper and the hotel was much better even and it was only a 2 star. We were changed from our original room which had stained carpets to... more

We did have a deluxe room. Room and bathroom good albeit virually no views. Plenty of light once one opened up curtains obscuring scuffy outside. Breakfast very average and restaurant staff very average. Only had breakfast in hotel. Opposite local market and just a fascinating area to stay in. To ensure quiet room CHECK room first! more

The room was well kept, fruit and water were provided complimentary each day, and there was free wi-fi, and PC’s down stairs. The hotel is central to everything that you would want to do and see around Hanoi, and there is a lonely... more

I was there with a group of Global Volunteers teaching conversational English at the University and a High School. The hotel embraced our group, made us feel that we were at home, and took care of our requests and needs... more

We stayed one night at the Hoa Binh Palace and wished we could have stayed more. The hotel is right across the street from a daily market and in the middle of all the action in Hanoi. While this is not a Western 5 star hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the price was reasonable compared to... more

We stayed in rooms on the 6th and 7th floors on two occasions. I don't know if rooms vary by floor. Our rooms were relatively small but clean and well-equipped (WiFi, flat screen TV, safe, AC, clock, fruit) with comfortable beds. There was always a pleasant, helpful, English-speaking person on the front desk. The staff was friendly, helpful responsive, and... more

I visited Hanoi with a volunteer group in September and November 2008 and each time we stayed at this hotel. I am surprised by the negative comments. I am from New York City and have traveled to 17 countries. So I know a bit about hotels. First off, ALL hotel rooms in Hanoi are small. It is Viet Nam, not... more
