Experience of the stay
This stylish hotel features a design inspired by Hanoi's famous Văn Miếu (Temple of Literature), which is located near the Grand Mercure Hanoi.
With a great location, it's perfect for those who want to enjoy sightseeing during the day and relax in a stylish and beautiful hotel at night.
▼Location
It's about a 40-minute taxi ride from the airport, slightly distant, but it's in an area that's easy to access all tourist attractions, making it ideal for sightseeing.
The Văn Miếu is just a 5-minute walk away, and the Old Quarter can be reached by taxi in about 15 minutes.
▼Room
The rooms are also designed with the Văn Miếu theme in mind, featuring colorful interiors and beautiful golden decorations.
There are outlets and light switches on both sides of the bedside.
The lights are automatic and turn off via motion sensors. Even after turning the lights off, the foot lights will stay on for a few minutes before turning off.
The bathroom is very clean, and on the wooden bath table designed to fit perfectly with the bathtub, there were rose-scented bath salts provided.
There's also a nice feature of a bidet toilet.
▼Facilities
On the rooftop, there’s a rooftop bar and gym, and although the pool seems small at first sight, it is quite deep, so be careful.
There are also spa and restaurant facilities within the hotel.
▼Service
While it may not satisfy those who place a high priority on hospitality, if your travel goal is mainly sightseeing and you prioritize sanitation, style, and location, it won't be an issue.
Experiences during the trip
Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel is the Văn Miếu (Temple of Literature).
Between the hotel and the Văn Miếu, there's a restaurant called KOTO, which has many dishes that suit Japanese tastes and is highly recommended.
I also wanted to try Gia, a Michelin one-star restaurant located on the same street as KOTO, but unfortunately could not due to scheduling conflicts...
Using a taxi, I visited historic sites such as St. Joseph's Cathedral, Train Street, and Hoa Lo Prison, and while exploring the Old Quarter, I enjoyed delicious bánh mì (Bánh Mì 25 is a must-try) and phở (Phở Thìn was the best!). I also visited the outstanding pizza place that originated in Vietnam, "Pizza 4P's," which is hard to reserve in Japan.
The location being so accessible allowed me to try various tourist spots and gourmet experiences.
