CAMELLIA RESIDENCE HANOI

A great hotel with the colonial looks we were looking for. You come in and feel as if you are turning back the clock but everything is tastefully new. (And works, what can’t be said for some other hotels) The rooms are suites with all amenities. Staff were super helpful and assisted me as I had a broken leg. Big advantage is the lift. I can definitely encourage you to stay there when in Hanoi. Plus, the price is great !

Stayed in both the Queen suite and the King Suite. Beautiful building, tastefully furnished. Queen room was smaller and faced the back so there's no view but it's quiet. King room faces the street and is larger and brighter. Both rooms had plenty of storage space, good dedicated working area, in-room washer/dryer, AC and fans, comfortable living room furniture. Lobby is as beautiful as the photos plus there is an elevator. Staff are very kind. Location is perfect: plenty of cafes and restaurant options in the neighbourhood and it's just a 15 minute walk to the crowded tourist areas (or take a Grab). Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again when in Hanoi.

I chose this hotel for my group of ten visiting Hanoi for three days. It had to meet these conditions: 1. Located in French Quarter, beloved for it's beautiful architecture; 2. Front a main street for vehicle access; and 3. Rooms on the ground floor or reached by elevator. 4. Reasonable room rates The hotel offered more: suite rooms, one with a balcony facing the street, washing machine and dryer in each room, proper bathrooms, pleasing decor, and excellent service. Opposite was a shop selling pho and bun. The owner was very friendly, the food excellent. He even offered me tra da free. A few doors away was a shop selling banh cuon, my favourite breakfast, again tasty food, and VND5,000 tra da to go with the meal. The owner herself, although hardly managing to speak English, was friendly and extremely helpful, while two if the staff spoke good English. I will definitely stay here again
