We stayed here for a couple of nights after airport staff recommended it and organised a taxi to the door for us, meaning we avoided all the taxi/hotel touts at Hanoi airport.
The hotel is central to the old quarter, the cathedral and the lake and is in a safe street with lots of Vietnamese places to eat nearby.
The best thing about this hotel is the staff, they are extremely helpful and their English is very good. They organised train and bus tickets for us and even allowed us to leave our bags with them and use a shower on a day we weren't staying at the hotel. I feel happy to recommend this place to other backpackers.
