La Ava's Home — Hotel in Hà Nội

We stayed at La Ava for 3 days 2 nights. We arrived early than expected but the host told her Mom that we can enter our room straightaway. There was no lift in the building and our room was on the 4th floor. We had to climbed a typical Hanoi buildings' narrow wooden stairs. The room was very clean and spacious.

The in-room facilities were well equiped down to hairdryer, fridge, coffeemaker, toilettries and towels. Wifi is strong eventhough it was off once. The hot water was on at the first night only. Breakfast on the rooftop was nice: buttered omelette, toast, tea/coffee, and fresh mangoes. Overall we like the place but we didn't really enjoy it that much because of the noise of the construction building in front of our room. It was up until 3am and maybe more! Not the host's fault though. Hopefully it will...

Our toiletries were restocked daily and our towels and bedding changed. We have absolutely loved our stay here and would recommend this place to anyone wanting to...

We booked a room here for our March trip almost 2 months ago, and now, literally just 6 days before our stay period, the host asked us to cancel our booking. This is extremely unprofessional on their part as it is too late for us to get other good places at a reasonable price. To make things worse, this host shared the phone number of my friend (who booked the place via Booking.com) with another homestay business. This other homestay host proceeded to message my friend on WhatsApp, telling her they came to know our stay got canceled, would we like to book their place instead. I don't even know if this is some sort of deal made between these two homestay places. Anyway, very unethical and...
