The Golden Sun Hotel represents an excellent mid-range choice in a quieter part of the Old Quarter, close to some excellent little eateries and Japanese-inspired boutique shops and a five minutes walk from Hoan Kiem Lake. We stayed in the 'family room' which offers superb views of the lake. The breakfast room on the same floor offers the same views as you tuck into a tasty and varied breakfast menu (included in price).

Views from the room aside, the outstanding feature of the hotel is the service. Ha and Thao on reception were incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. They arranged train and air travel throughout the rest of Vietnam for us and telephoned our next hotel in Hue to confirm our arrival and pick up arrangement the next day.

A great place to stay in Hanoi.

We definitely do not recommend this hotel. Despite its pretty rooms and good location, the manager decided three days into our stay our room rate was higher than what we were quoted when we arrived. When we disputed this he made up the difference by adding taxes and beefing up the phone and laundry charges. The guys who work there appeared drunk.

You'll also get asked a hundred times about your plans and they'll try to sell their tours - though this is much the same across the entire city.
