Hanoi Travel Forum

I'm hesitate about Prince Hanoi2 hotel which is on 41 Bat Su street or Hanoi Paradise hotel which is on 53 Hang Chieu street . Prince Hanoi 2 is near Hoan Kiem Lake, but Paradise is near Dong Xuan market.
For Hanoi Elegance 2 is must be in noisy area right? Because they use sound proof windows.
I would like to know good place for dinning--french, vietnam, japanese, korea.

Thanks

We stayed at Hanoi Elegance 2, Ma May street, and did not find this noisy at all. In fact we voted this out best hotel we stayed at during our 3 week visit because of its location and the friendly helpful staff. We really liked Ma May street as it was a one way street and so seemed not as busy as some of the surrounding streets.
For food the following are great restaurants located in the Old Quarter
Little Hanoi, 21 Hang Gai Street for Vietnamese, this one is so popular they opened another accross the road.
Green Tangerine, 48 Hang Be, is a great French restaurant located in an restored colonial building which we really enjoyed. Its a bit more expensive than many restaurants in Hanoi but worth it.
Have a great time.

We have just come back from Cambodia and Vietnam. The Sofitel Plaza is where we stayed in Hanoi. Its near the West Lake. Its quiet and a lovely hotel. Its a taxi ride to the Old Quarter which is amazing.

Thank you everybody!
