Hotels Near Ha Lam Pagoda 2 in Hanoi

We moved to this hotel after a less than great night at a nearby hotel. The location is ideal if you want to be near the lake or have business with an embassy. The lake is a 30 second walk, the embassies 10 minutes or so. There is a large grocery story (VinMart) a short walk away. The room has a large sitting area, work desk, full kitchen with a household-size refrigerator/freezer, and the bed is very comfortable as are the pillows. The bed area can be sectioned off by closing a floor-to-ceiling curtain between it and the lounge area -- convenient when your travel companion wants to get up early to work (and turn on all the lights). The bathroom includes a full-size tub and a Japanese toilet (i.e., heated seat and built in bidet with multiple options). We were there in the midst of the pandemic so occupancy was low. Rather than a breakfast buffet they provided us with a menu that included a very large selection of items ranging from Western standards to Vietnamese standards. You won't go hungry from lack of options. Evenings in the rooftop restaurant includes groups of local youth taking selfies of themselves in the 'fancy' surroundings. Worth an evening drink for the beautiful lake view as well as the people watching. Staff were great, food was very good and prices in the mini bar were entirely reasonable. Coffee, tea, drinking water and a FULL breakfast are included. If this location fits your needs when visiting Hanoi, I cannot recommend it more highly.

I was satisfied with the reception, cleanliness, and all the services. Everyone at the hotel was friendly, and even though I couldn't speak English well, they spoke to me in a way that I could understand. The room amenities, the number of towels, and other services were beyond my expectations. I would like to use this hotel again when I come to Hanoi.

Very nice boutique hotel in the middle of the Old quarter near shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way to help you as needed. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Great air conditioning. Breakfast was very good and a lot of choices. It is buffet style and you can also order different foods like Pho, banana pancake, Vietnamese egg rolls and so much more.

Our second holiday in Hanoi & Vietnam as we ran out of time on our first visit to experience all of the ancient culture , charms and modern day luxury of the old and new Hanoi . The new Brilliant Nature Suites & Spa is a good base to start your explorations & a calming retreat at the end of the day to rest your weary limbs . The Hotel was basic but clean and modern . Conveniently located within walking distance of the Water Puppet Theatre , Hoan Kiem Lake and many restaurants . Our particular room was comfortable and spotlessly clean . We particularly enjoyed being able to cast content from our 'phones onto the large screen in our room . The Wi-Fi connection was great too ! The nearby railway could be noisy but the sound proofing was really good , and with the windows closed it wasn't noticeable . My wife used the Spa and said that the treatments were excellent and the overall experience was incredible . ( ” I think I am missing a trick here ” ? ) Everything was clean , modern and the staff were super helpful . Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Brilliant Nature Suites & Spa . We felt that it was good value for money .

Ok this will be an odd review. We didn’t stay in this hotel, but walked into their lobby one night to ask if they could call us a good taxi to get out of the busy Old Quarter to get to our hotel. They were super accommodating, even offering us to sit and wait in their lobby, and then even walking us out to the taxi when it came. This type of service and helpfulness just doesn’t happen everywhere in the world. If I could rank a hotel in the old quarter on lobby customer service alone, I’d recommend this hotel, and if I ever need a hotel in the old quarter I’ll look to this hotel as a definite option in the future. On first impressions alone, extremely friendly, very memorable, thanks to the hotel front desk gentleman for the help.

be mindful they lock the doors at night but theres usually someone in the lobby to unlock, dont be like me and panic and prepare because the elevator shuts off at night so dont come back drunk because stairs will be your only option lol ! hehe this place is such a little hidden gem i loved our room, was small but it had everything we needed and felt like a nice comfy nook/studio. the bed is comfortable and all the staff are very friendly. It felt a little difficult to get to by grab, but easy when you are just walking around the old quarter on your own. very affordable and worth the price! i would stay here again because its close enough to all the activities and a clean comfortable stay!

Hanoi is a great destination for anyone interested in far East. Its history, beautiful nature, and wonderful people offer travelers a wonderful experience. Our hotel made the experience far more enjoyable and memorable. La Siesta is in a great location to get a good sense of daily life in Hanoi. I suggest getting a room with balcony if you can. The breakfast is elaborate with many options to choose from and rooms are quite clean. There is also a good size heated pool though I would have liked it a bit warmer. But the best part of our stay at the hotel, was the staff. Everyone was so welcoming and greeted us with a smile every time. If we needed to find a place to see, they would take time to look and share their suggestion. For us, with no prepackaged travel plan, this was great. They arranged some of the activities for us and they all turned out great. The food tour is a must with a knowledgeable tour guide. The hotel arranged the entire thing. I would certainly go back.

The staff are very nice, the room is clean and comfotable. I have great time in this hotel. Very convenient location in old quarter....budget friendly...receptionist ms.lieu and owner mr. Tung were allways there n very helpful....maids also very very accomodative....highly recommend this property....

The hotel may be old but most importantly, the rooms are spacious, and it feels like home. And clean. Cleanliness is very important to me. The rooms are ”huge”! I love this 80+sqm size, so nice to have large rooms once & for all !! And toilets are clean & huge! Location is excellent, it's about 10 mins to the Old Quarters but the location around the hotel is good - some nice restaurants & generally much better than staying in the old quarter area which can be hap hazard.

I and some friends stayed here few years ago and we come back this year as we love this hotel a lot. Everyone works for this hotel is very helpful and hospitality. They supported us a lot during the time we stayed here with them. Hotel is clean and we love everything and of course also the breakfast. We will definitely come back and also introduce to more of our friends. Thanks again for making my trip !
