Especially the staff working at the at the reception is unfriendly and even rude! We payed 60 USD p/n for a double room but this (rather huge amount compared to other hotels in Hanoi) does not meet up the value of this guesthouse. Our room was very dark and humid. And though promised, WIFI wasn't available in our room! When... more

Stayed 4 nights. Rooms were functional although lacking any character , lift was very smelly, breakfast ok eggs were always cold,Staff not very friendly and no atmosphere at all.. Pool was good to have although crowded most of the time with locals doing their "execises" very funny to watch. If it had not been for the pool there was no... more

Decor_ well the building was an old amry barraks so it is wasn't really purpose build Rooms_ are big and clean but dark Location: 15 min walk from the Old Quarter - quiet for Hanoi The swimming pool makes the difference compared to other hotels We paid 60$ a night for a twin room more

For the rest of our stay in Hanoi we wanted a hotel with an outdoor pool and this was the cheapest option. Check in was smart and organised, the rooms were clean and spacious. Compared to other hotels we stayed throughout Vietnam this was more expensive but the pool was what we wanted in Hanoi as it was quite hot... more

Basic three star hotels with no major frills, apart from a big pool (which serves also as public pool for the southern part of Hanoi Old Town and is very busy in the early morning and late evening). Rooms are reasonably clean, have AC, a fridge/minibar, TV with BBC/CNN. Free wireless internet, quite fast. Breakfast not exciting, but sufficient mixture... more

We stayed at Army Hotel and found it most awful. The internet booking was very slow and we had no reply for almost a week. When we arrived we were met by a most arrogant and inpolite staff that did not care much about that our safe and tv did not work. The pool is open to the public and... more

Quiet hotel with large gardens and pool in process of complete WiFi overhaul (free WiFi, by the way). Next to the Opera and the Champs-Elysees of Hanoi but very good value for money. Reception speaks fluently French and English. Large and well furbished rooms and bath rooms. It used to be the headquarters of the French Army before 1954. It... more

This property was clean and comfortable. The room that we were assigned was large; however the furniture and decor was straight out of the Stalin Era. It does need a bit of renovations; however it didn't bother me too much. It was basic and for a basic price I couldn't complain. The pool area is nothing special. It reminded me... more

The rooms vary wildly as far as furnishings go and some are quite bizarre (Soviet style). We stayed in a couple of their suites on two separate occasions and they were OK for the price paid. I would recommend you ask to see all they have available when you show up at the reception. Staff is friendly/indifferent and the breakfast... more
