What makes it special.
The restaurant
The restaurant sits on the twelfth floor and looks directly over Hoan Kiem Lake, and it serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening drinks.
The location
The address is 43 Gia Ngu, a trading street in the Old Quarter that is two to three minutes' walk from the north-west shore of Hoan Kiem Lake.
The building
The hotel opened in July 2023 with 120 rooms over twelve floors, so the fittings and in-room technology are recent.
Spa and pool
On site there is a spa using natural ingredient treatments, a swimming pool, a health club and gym, a rooftop bar and a wine cellar.

What guests say
The location is the headline: guests are steps from Hoan Kiem Lake, a two-minute stroll to the water. Add wonderful service, a rooftop pool, an amazing breakfast and rooms people happily return to, and it's a firm favourite for good value in the Old Quarter.
Within walking distance: Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple are five minutes or less, St Joseph's Cathedral about ten, with the night market and the shopping streets all close by.
