The location of the hotel is very strategic, 10 minutes walk to Santa Jossep cathedral, 15 minutes walk to the Vietnamese prison, 10 minutes to the railroad cafe and 10 minutes to the lake, the staff is very friendly and helpful, Jenny 's staff really gave us information on tourist attractions and cafes in Hanoi. We highly recommend this hotel. There are lots of places to eat around the hotel, Bahmi 25 right in front of the hotel.
