Experience of the stay
"Silk Path Boutique Hotel"
✅ The location is just amazing!! It's the best!
It's close to the important area, 'Hoan Kiem Lake', so there are lots of restaurants and commercial facilities around. UNIQLO, Gong Cha, and McDonald's are all within a minute's walk.
During my stay, I didn't use a taxi (GRAB) and walked everywhere. Great value for money!
✅ The hotel staff are warm (there's a story)
I was supposed to check in late at night.
I heard that there have been many hotel check-in scams in Vietnam lately, so I communicated my concerns via WhatsApp beforehand. I arrived around midnight. As soon as I got out of the taxi, a male staff member dashed to greet me at the door. There were two suspicious-looking people next to the hotel entrance. They followed me into the hotel, but the front desk staff communicated something to them and chased them away.
They always greeted me when I went out.
When I returned from outings, they would come to the door to greet me.
When I had a problem, they kindly explained using translations. It was a warm hotel.
✅ I forgot to request a room type, so I ended up in a 'no window' room that I had read about in reviews.
But the room was spacious and comfortable.
The air conditioning was adjustable.
They provided two bottles of water every day.
There were welcome fruits that were very delicious! (Passion fruit, mandarin) I recommend trying them. On the second day, there were cookies placed during the turn-down service.
The room was also very clean.
✅ The room didn't have a bathtub.
The shower water pressure was great.
The hot water was pretty warm, which felt nice in the chilly Hanoi.
(I believe there are rooms with bathtubs in the hotel as well)
✅ The amenities are hotel originals.
The slippers are cute and the bathrobe was made of waffle material, which was nice.
✅ Even the hallway had a boutique feel, it was cute.
Experiences during the trip
There are many famous restaurants, cafes, and massage places in the vicinity, making it easy to walk everywhere. I had a really fun time.
