Hanoi Royal Premium Hotel
Melia Hanoi
Large & clean rooms, professional staff, good facilities (although the jacuzzi wasn’t working in the spa), amazing breakfast. Definitely highly recommended. Good location about 10-12mins walk from the centre of the old quarter, train street and Hoan Kiem lake.

Hanoi Indochine Premium Hotel
Don’t expect this to be a 4-star hotel or to receive a 20% discount on tours or services. You can find better deals outside or by using Grab. The hotel is located in a small alley that cars cannot access. We had to walk to another hotel for breakfast. The breakfast was decent.
