A small hotel, centrally located in Hanoi, not far from Old Quarter. The room was clean and pretty, nothing out of the ordinary and not particularly spacious, but also nothing to complain about. The room looked a bit more worn than the photos implied, but it wasn't run-down by any means.

I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect, surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and shops. This is definitely a place I’ll come back to on my next...
