Read moreI don't usually like to leave bad reviews, but I was really looking forward to staying here long-term based on all the reviews I had read, but ended up being so disappointed. As some other reviews have mentioned, the cleanliness is horrendous and just ruins the stay.
The standard studio is nothing special of course, its just standard - a dark room with a staircase right outside the window. The draws next to the bed don't close, so something is uneven somewhere. However, my biggest issues were that there was hair everywhere, on the floor, on the bed/pillows, all over the headboard, used towels from the previous guest/s were still hanging on the bathroom door, the laundry machine was filthy and had a bad smell, and I wasn't getting any hot water on my last morning so ended up having to have a cold shower. The kitchen counter has so many stains, bathroom had stains, I got to the point where I didn't even know what was or wasn't clean, what had or hadn't been changed since the last guest, and no guest should feel that way.
I didn't find the staff to be friendly or accommodating during check-in, so didn't feel comfortable going to them with my multiple complaints. I also feel like the standard shouldn't have even been like this in the first place. The only positive I have is that it is very quiet.
Also, as written in my Agoda review, I wanted to apologize to the staff member who came to tell me it was time to checkout at 11:20am. I was already upset with my stay overall and ended up being very snappy in my response to being asked to checkout, so I'm very sorry about that and it wasn't anything personal to you. The place has changed their checkout policy from 12pm to 11am, which hasn't yet been updated in...
Read moreI found this place to be an excellent, pet friendly hotel, situated in a nice quiet area near West Lake. Located within a 20-minute drive from Noi Bai Airport, and about the same to the centre of Hanoi. Several cafes are within walking distance, as well as a few Circle K & Winmart convenience stores and restaurants (mostly catering for Western tourists/visitors and not many local types). Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly host, who aided me with my bags down the narrow walkway (decoratively lit up at night and securely locked after hours with entry accessible via your rooms keycard), which led to the hotel's reception and accommodation buildings (two of). There's also a small garden area with some seating adjacent to the reception area and an undercover parking section for motorbikes. My air-conditioned room, which was accessible by an elevator, was clean, spacious, and had its own modern private bathroom. The room was bright and modern and had a medium-soft comfortable king-sized bed (5 out of 10 on the hardness scale). It was equipped with a flatscreen TV (Netflix app available), a refrigerator, a microwave, and a kettle, and furnished with a large wardrobe, desk & chair (with illuminated mirror), and some cupboards. My room also had a small (tiny) balcony good only for standing. WiFi was also freely available with a good, strong, and constant connection. In the past, when I travelled to Hanoi, I stayed near Hoan Kiem Lake (Old Quater) region. However, if I ever return, I'd probably try and stay at Moonlit Suites Hotel. It's great value for money, very quiet and comfortable in all aspects....highly...
