Hanoi Amorita Boutique Hotel & Travel

We arrived in Hanoi at around 10am/11am, totally exhausted, and were happy to finally be at the hotel. BUT: although our room was free, we couldn't move into it until 2pm. Unless we paid $20 for "pre-check-in". I travel a lot, but I've never experienced this! In the end, I paid $10 because we really wanted to go to the room (the price was "kindly" reduced after I pointed out a corresponding review that I would write). The room was incredible! No window, instead a dusty plastic papaya plant was supposed to improve the (dirty) light shaft. The bathroom had mold on the joints, the entire room was only superficially cleaned. Although other rooms (with windows) were free, they didn't want to let us move. Not even for an extra charge. The building is very thinly soundproof. Every time the elevator went (since we were there on the weekend, that was often the case), we heard it in the room, as well as the snoring neighbor and the guests who thundered down the stairs from partying at night. Breakfast was served in a windowless room that also served as a storage area for cleaning utensils, suitcases and/or supplies. The selection and quality were so-so. The staff tried to be friendly, but at some point I thought to myself, if they said "I'm so soooohhhrie" ONE more time, I'll explode. What's the point of someone constantly apologizing but making no attempt to find a remedy/improvement for imponderables? The only thing that was sensational was the location. I wouldn't book the hotel again. There are so many alternative hotels in the old town that are cleaner and focus on the guest.

Very well located in the center of the old town, a stone's throw from the famous Hoan Kiem Lake, cafes, shops and restaurants, this simple and unpretentious establishment is an ideal choice as it offers very good comfort and impeccable cleanliness. and truly top-notch staff service. We were there for 5 nights with friends and were delighted with our choice. Breakfast is personalized (Western or Vietnamese menu) and the buffet is well stocked and stocked. We were able to visit the emblematic monuments of Hanoi almost on foot throughout our stay as well as 2 day excursions to Halong Bay (breathtaking) and Ninh Binh (an absolutely “must do”). We came back with lots of wonderful memories and magnificent images in our heads. I highly recommend this establishment. However, if you are one of those who are a light sleeper, this establishment is not for you because of the noise coming from the street and unfortunately, this is the case of all the hotels located in the heart of the old town. .

Small hotel very central in the old quarter, excellent welcome from the staff, large room with terrace, firm but comfortable mattress, good value for money. We only stayed there for one night but I would recommend it.

Excellent location, next to Hoam Kien Lake, very attentive staff especially Bryan, somewhat limited breakfast although you can order omelettes, crepes. The rooms we booked are large and comfortable and although with a balcony facing the street, the noise did not bother us. The bathroom needs more maintenance, it is clean but I think this aspect should be improved.
