Golden Sun Lakeview is in a great location for a family visit to Hanoi; close to the bustling old quarter and the picturesque lake, but still on a quiet lane for a bit of relief from the chaotic Hanoi traffic. The service is good and any little request is met with ease. (We left a pair of earrings in our... More

Golden Sun Lakeview won our hearts the first day when we entered the top-floor breakfast zone to see a panoramic view of the city's iconic Hoan Kiem Lake blanketed in mist with various moldy socialist official structures poking their way through the fog. Accompanied by a slice of fresh mango and aforementioned banana pancake, it was bliss. Also various other... More

There was some construction going on when we... More

It's a perfect location with many shops, eateries and bars, but without the vehicular congestion, which was nice after a day of strategically dodging motorists in Hanoi. There are many similar budget hotels in the area, but I chose this one for... More
