Planning to visit Hanoi soon, and will need some advice on accomodation in Hanoi. Anyone out there stayed in Hanoi Capital Hotel? What is the hotel like and how is the location. Is it near to the lake? If not what is the best hotel for a lake view or which part of Hanoi is the best place to stay?

Hi,
We stayed (2006)at the Golden Sun Hotel in Hang Hanh st. This is just around the corner from the lake and in a great area for shops, cafes etc. Very close to the French quarter. Not luxurious but very clean, comfortable and with cable TV and free internet access! Our room even had a bath! Very inexpensive. Simple breakfast included. The hotel is one of those very skinny vertical buildings that are so ubiquitous in Hanoi. The owner ( a formidable business woman) is quite a character! Old Hanoi is quite small so everything is walking distance.
Good luck

We stayed at the Elegance Hotel #2 in Ma May street which was close to the lake, nice street, very friendly staff and would stay there again. We also stayed one night at the Zephyr Hotel which is on the edge of the old quarter on one corner of the lake which had view of the lake. This was more modern than the elegance but we preferred the Elegance more.

Anyone know exactly where is this hotel in Hanoi? Any pics of the hotel and the location?

Hi,
I and my friends stayed at hanoicapital hotel on March. why don't you want to book that hotel? i think that hotel is very good. all staff of that hotel are very enthusiastic. They are pretty, sweet girl.
Their rooms are ok, have TV, private toilet with hot shower. My room has computer with internet access for free. They cleaned my room every day.
Reception department opened the door for me when I wanted to go outside. They called a taxi for me and go outside with me, then open the door of car for me and said: "have a nice day".
We had happy time at Hanoicapital Hotel. They are very good. I hope you will book it.
Good luck!!! :)

folks please beware of Mr. To-ut
