- Travel-future-ahoySydney, Australia1,968 contributionsTerrific customer serviceTerrific customer service. Just wandered to this location on a rainy day. Was told upfront and shown photo that it was too foggy to see anything from the observation deck. 10/10 for honesty and keeping customer at top of mind. As an aside, Lotte department store was a nice place to visit on a rainy day.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 28 September 2023
- jdeepak84Rudrapur, India157 contributionsLotte observatory DeckGood Place to visit when in Hanoi. Lots of spots to click photos. Observatory is situated at the 65th floor and it gives a full 360 degree view of Hanoi. Place is well maintained and can easily spend about an hour and a half here.Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 15 November 2023
- WikumjBromley, United Kingdom393 contributionsExpensive but worth itThis is the best place for views over Hanoi. It is quite expensive to go up relative to Vietnam prices, but once you are up there there is quite a lot to do up there and you could easily spend an hour or two up there if you wanted to. Firstly there are the various view points with some interesting gimmicks - the glass floor, the big heart, the angel wings, which all make for some memorable photos. Then then there are various other things to do, VR rides, and art gallery, small exhibitions, a cafe and bar etc. So it is a comfortable place to spend some time. It is open til late so recommend coming in the evening to catch both the sunset and the city lights at night.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 December 2023
- Jay ThompsonFlorida7 contributionsMy experience at the Lotte observation deckThe observation deck is well-maintained and equipped with modern facilities, including a glass walkway and a virtual reality parachute experience. The glass walkway is a highlight of the observation deck, giving me and my girlfriend the feeling of walking on air. The virtual reality parachute experience allows visitors to experience the thrill of skydiving from a height of 270 meters (as I remembered)Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 3 January 2024

- nzwestieHamilton & Waikato Region, New Zealand488 contributionsGet up there and have a fun time!We brought out tickets downstairs - bottom floor, quick and easy and straight into the lift. Zoomed right up to the top and out we went. What a view and so high up. We walked right around looking at all the different landscapes. There are glass floors to walk on. Angel wings to get your pic taken with. Also a massive heart shape, coloured bright red to get your pic taken in and on the floor another heart. We had a fun time up there. Panels etc to tell you what is outside. After our time up there we whizzed back down and went up to the food market. Great food supermarket to get all your want.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 June 2024
- david.travelBudapest, Hungary407 contributionsPeaceful place over the crowded cityWe visited there after sunset. It is worth buying an entrance ticket combined with a drink. We liked it so much that we stayed for 1-2 more drinks and enjoyed the city. It's especially good that it's open for a long time.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 1 September 2024

Though the building is marvellous, the management is poor. I reached around 10.45pm and was denied entry though i had already tickets purchased. Official entry is allowed until 11pm. On a bit argument was allowed in,but to my disappointment most of the attractions lighting were off. Also glasses on the main deck were not clean. How do you expect to enjoy the view with dirty glasses!
It has a bar in north wing where no body came to attend us nor were asked any help. On sitting onto a sofa, suddenly a lady came and she was like she would allow us to sit only if we order anything. Anyways for me its a waste of time as the purpose of coming there wasnt fruitful to the level i was expecting. Also coming from old quarter to back is expensive as you end up paying twice in grab fees as compared to the entrance fees of lotte.

All cities must have one, and South Korean conglomerate Lotte has ensured that Hanoi gets its observation deck. The building itself is not particularly impressive, nor is the relatively mild height of 267m and entrance fees of VND230,000. But Lotte’s attempt to make up for these is by offering visitors an acrophobic experience and unique photo opportunity with 2 heart-dropping glass platforms 65 floors above street level. The night view is just mediocre and unlike other observation decks where night photos can be taken if you place your phone against the glass, this is disappointingly impossible here, possibly due to the thickness and angle of the glass.

Think we just got super unlucky with the weather and so the view was rubbish.
Price to enter for foreigners is not cheap and so if it is smoggy when you get up there you don't have much to do. There is seating and bars dotted around, we sat on a chair and got asked to move because we were not buying anything - seemed a cheek as the place was deserted and we had paid the hefty entrance fee to get up there so hardly free loading

It only costs 200,000 vnd to get to the top (about 9usd). The observation deck is on the 65th floor and if the day is clear, than you'll be able to see most of Hanoi from above. But on the day I went it was smoggy, so you couldn't see much, which probably explains why there were hardly any other people up there. The glass floor made the visit at least somewhat fun, even on a bad weather day.

Great view, sure, but if you want to take pictures you should go during the day. They have gigantic bright lights on, which reflect in every window. But the reflection is probably als a problem during the day. Entrance is ca. 8.50, which is too expensive for what you get.

Whats the best time to visit the deck? Morning or evening?
Written 8 December 2019
I would say just before sunset. In that way, you can have both daytime and evening view of Hanoi. During December, the sun is no longer visible around 5:00pm. So if you arrive at 4-4:30pm, you can have a clear view of Hanoi. You can stay for an hour or two until the city lights up and then you can have a nighttime view of the city.

how much does it cost to go up to the observation deck ? and what are the opening times ?
Written 13 September 2018
Hi William! The opening hours are 08:30 ~ 23:00 (Ticketing Counter close at 22:00, I suggest going in the evening time where you can catch the sunset and also see the beauty of Hanoi nightlife!
For adults (above 12y/o) the price for a ticket will be 230000VND (apprx SGD$14) while for a child the price will be 1700000VND (SGD$10)
Hope you will enjoy the place as much as I did! Take note its a distance away from the Old Quarter so plan your time right if you want to catch the sunset or anything! Plus evening traffic is rather crazy so it took longer to get a ride to Lotte Centre

I don't remember the amount but it's not expensive. No need to buy ticket ahead of time.

Hello, do you have to purchase a separate ticket to go to the roof top bar? And do you have to make a reservation to go the roof top bar? Thank you :)
Written 9 March 2017
No you don't need a ticket to the roof top bar. You enter via the Lotte Hotel lobby and get the lift to the 63rd floor. You generally done need a reservation but it might be a good idea if you are having dinner there.
