Hanoi Royal Premium Hotel
Staff were amazing and went above and beyond to help, always with a smile. Rooms are basic yet have everything we needed. There is breakfast served in the basement every morning. The area is busy, yet our room was quiet. Right in the middle if the old quarter, tons to do around the area.
