We booked in to the Golden Lotus Hotel on the strength of Lonely Planet making it their author's pick and paid for two nights in advance. The hotel has recently built a new Golden Lotus II hotel but this was definitely not it. We paid extra for a room with a balcony- it was unuseable, tiny and full of air... more

I saw some good reviews of the Golden Louts Hotel on tripadvisor and also got good recommendations from friends so decided to book it. I asked my travel agent to book it but she recommended the Golden Lotus II instead as it was new and I had stressed to her that all the accommodation booked for our trip had to... more

We stayed here for 4 nights. First 3 nights we stayed in a Room 501 what they call a "superior room" costing $US52 a night inclusive of a very basic breakfast. Whilst the room was fairly large it was not clean and in need of serious tlc. the paint was chipping off the walls, doors wouldn't close or lock properly... more

We stayed at the Golden Lotus and loved it. The large Deluxe room with wooden floor and a clean large bathroom was perfect for our 1 1/2 year old boy to play in. The room was nicely decorated and clean. The location is very good in the Old Quarter with many restaurants close by. The breakfast was ok but the... more

After double checking through trip advisor, we booked the Golden Lotus hotel also known as khach san sen vang - i was a bit nervous because of mixed reviews but need not have been. Organised an airport pick up which was there to greet us. A lovely small hotel, typically narrow and high Vietnamese design. Book a front room with... more

I've stayed here before in '07 without any problems, but it was a different matter this time. The room showed wear and tear; for instance, the bathtub was quite dirty at the top edges and the lan outlet plate was broken and hanging with wires dangling. The lan was not working. I had to send a work email sand complained... more

This hotel was very misleading in its advertising. They sold us on a room with a balcony, but there was no balcony. Just a large window that over looked a area where they had some equipment on it. There was no way to get to this so called "balcony". The room was very dark. They said there was internet but... more

The Golden Lotus Hotel is a great little hotel we phoned direct for the booking and were not disapointed. The staff were very freindly and service was spot on. The hotel was close to all facilities that Hanoi has to offer. The street the hotel is on is not a busy street so it was nice to get away from... more

Booked several nights at Golden Lotus, and staff was very, very nice with our ever-changing travel plans (go to Halong Bay or not?....go to Hue or not?) Rooms were big, quiet, clean and our AC worked great (important even in April). Zero street noise, something I had noticed as a problem in reviews of nearby hotels. Inside the room, perfectly... more
