Best Hotels near West Lake, Hanoi

The location of the hotel is relatively remote and has to go down a small slope, but the hotel room is very large. It is a hotel apartment type with one bedroom and one living room. It is very clean, quiet and very cost-effective.

The location of the hotel is good, and the surrounding scenery is also good, but the room floor is too low to see the lake view, the hotel facilities are average, no breakfast is a minus item, in short, it is a good hotel.

Stayed on two short occasions while in the area and gave it an average but I feel it's almost below that. I will start with the positives. The staff are very friendly and helpful and housekeeping was good. The breakfast in the main dining room had quite a good selection and very good service. Unfortunately the rest of the property left me underwhelmed, and especially for the very high rates (well over $250 per night CAD). Location is ok, but not in the 'Old Quarter', which means that many tour shuttles will not do pick ups from there. I could not even get a Grab car at 7 a.m. on regular weekday morning and forced to take a taxi or be late and miss my tour. There are however some good restaurants near the hotel within walking distance. The Club lounge has garnered high reviews here on TA and I am astonished as to why. This actually was one of the benefits that had convinced me to exercise my Marriott BonVoy status and splurge on this property rather than stay at one of the many more reasonably priced and far more central hotels in the area. I am not sure what people's standards are but this lounge was not premium at all. The food was frankly, atrocious. There is a large variety of condiments and toppings for things but the main and side dishes look like they were leftovers from a banquet event, sitting under warming lamps for far too long, dry or oversauced, and not appealing. No vegetables except for a couple of sad looking salad items, very little for vegetarian or non red meat eaters and very little Vietnamese selections, rather sad looking attempts at Western items. Desserts sat in a fridge looking equally sad and drink selection was minimal, with a long wait for a simple highball and the mix added in when it was asked for on the side. The staff was pleasant enough so I didn't have the heart to complain at the time. The worst part about it is that it is overrun with loud families and children, which does not correspond to an adult executive lounge atmosphere in the evening during a cocktail hour. On the two occasions I went in I did not enjoy my time there and stayed only long enough to finish a drink and I had to skip dinner entirely the first time as the food was so unappealing. The lounge is also located on a floor with club level rooms and the noise generated from carts wheeling in and out during early morning and late night set up/break downs, as well as the doors slamming from the same is also not conducive to an elite member experience. The other issue I had was with the bedding. The feather pillows become literally flat as pancakes when you press down and must be ten years old. I had to request firm pillows to be sent up. I also had to request a top sheet to place under the duvet as the duvet cover is made of a cheap polyester fake satin type material which is not breathable and causes excessive sweating. I am not sure why they are not using better quality fabric to begin with but top sheets are generally standard also. Curiously

Great little hotel on a small street in old quarter Hanoi. We had great service and breakfast at this family run inn. They helped us arrange transport around town and got us oriented to the swarming streets. We really enjoyed the vibrant area and walked everywhere, including a food tasting tour, around the Lake and a Hanoi city tour that included Ho Chi Min monument and the water puppet performance. Aside from touristy things, we found ourselves situated here perfectly to jump out on our own and experience the vibrant street life around us. Nice knowledgeable and very welcoming. We recommend the Elpis at no. 5 wholeheartedly!

I stay at this hotel in May with Michael who I have stay with before in Hanoi expressive in the old quarters. So I was glad to be back with Michael again after few years!

Also Lucy who works there and is great friendly smiling face to welcome you! Michael I will be back in September I hope to with you again. Thanks for great stay Michael & Nga

We really enjoyed staying here. We originally booked another hotel but due to the noise and other issues we had to change it and we’re very glad we chose Fraser Suites. It is located in very convenient location. Supermarkets are in the same building complex, there are numerous coffee shops, bars and restaurants nearby and Old quarter and other tourist sites are quick taxi ride away. There is also a free comfortable shuttle service which we used couple of times. The room was modern, spacious and quiet. We slept really good in a big comfortable king bed. We enjoyed cooking a lot in well equipped kitchen and the washing machine was very useful for our longterm stay. We used a sky lounge on the top floor couple of times. Very nice views and great cocktails!! Due to the weather the infinity pool was not open but it must be really nice when it is warm out. The best part was the very friendly and helpful staff. The receptionists, cleaning stuff, the shuttle drivers, bartenders and waiters, they made our stay very special. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!
