Business trip, arrived late at night, and woke up with the best view: ah, the lake! I've been given a very nicely compartmented room with a view of the lake (ask for room 308 when booking😊) , with all amenities that one would need: mini-bar, coffee making facilities, complimentary water, slippers, bathrobe etc. The hotel offers a complimentary taxi ride from the airport. They get in touch with you ahead of time and all is smoothly taken care of, for you. Breakfast is limited for western/European taste, but the food offering is decent, with fruits that are really fresh and tasty. Are you the yogurt type? Go get your own, as you won't find one there. Yes eggs! On the flip side, the hotel facade features the hustle of Hanoi traffic and constant sounds-from-everywhere. I'd have not enjoyed my stay had it not been for the lake view. It does make it or break it.

Hotel is one of the early establishments in the city of Hanoi when there were very few 'big' hotels around. It has withstood its time but is now 'dwarfed' by many new and more modern hotels around the city. Signs of this ageing property was most visible in the room. It probably has been quite some time since the owners refurbished their property. The room did not smell fresh and although I was told it was a non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes was in the air. A nice inclusion was the balcony which opens up to a view of the lake. A coffee table and chairs were provided so you could sit out on the balcony with your coffee/tea and enjoy the lake view. Breakfast served in the hotel was average. They offer a limited spread of continental and local selections. For the price of rooms here, you could find nicer hotels in the city.

It cost 80$ for double room which is spacious and clean with great view. We can walk around the lake near hotel at the morning. The breakfast is delicious and we can enjoy Pho(Vietnamese noodle). We can have the dinner (Japanese restaurant)at this hotel. It is only5 min walk to Lotte center (mart, department store and observation deck). It is near to Ho Chi Minh Monsoleum.

This is my 2nd time in Hanoi and the 1st time with Lake Side Hotel. Other person has booked for me because I am going for business trip, I have not booked by myself. The location is quite far the Old quarter but everything is okay, you could book Grab or Uber or Taxi to there with around 20 mins & 60,000 vnd. Nightlife here is well too with many beer house with food. From here you can walk 30mins to Ba Đình square and visit some tourist sightseeings. However the breakfast is not good as well, just enough and so so, if you have something to eat, You might not taste here. Overview, room is quite spacious, facilities are good, services are good too. Location is near Ngọc Khanh lake and little bit farm from OLD city center.

When you enter the hall you don't realize how horrible the room will be because they're totally different worlds! I stayed for 3 nights in the 5th floor, it was a package tour so I didn't choose it myself. The walls of the corridor are dirty, it's dark and smelly, also it's allowed to smoke anywhere which worses the situation. When you enter the room the first feeling is the smell of mold, carpet is dirty, everything is very old. Remocon had a little small bug! I wiped it before using (there is cable tv), but started feeling gross to stay in that place. Lots of Japanese when I went there. Breakfast was good, but almost nothing of western options, pho was very good. The lake view was nice from the room! Staff were very kind, no complains, they helped me to arrange Halong Bay tour (English a little bit poor but managable), but don't try to send an email because they will not answer you... Location was so so, 20min to the Old Quarter (around 100.000 dong OW by taxi and I just took the white and green ones because they're more trustful); there is a supermarket near the hotel which was great! But, sorry, the horrendous room is not worth at all.

Got there by accident. Someone who wasn't a motorcycle taxi posed and then didn't know any hotels down that street. He saw this one and the bell captain rushed out and grabbed my bags... The rest is history. The Business Center was a good touch and staff really helpful there. (Had to make an online booking, which failed and then pay at reception, getting the same rate, 1,287,000 d). Had a similar hotel without brealkfast in Hai Phong for 500,000 d. Breakfast was mediocre for my Western & Vegetarian taste. But that's a typically Vietnamese problem. Like expensive cheese => only a few processed cheese triangles were there... And no orange juice. ... Found a place near the university and MY DINH which is charging 220,000 with movies etc., that's why I'm so critical of the value aspect.

I stayed in this hotel for work because of its proximity to the convention centre (walking distance). The room was big, but not overly clean... It grossed me out a bit. Weird stains on the sheets, the "lake side" view is through scratchy glass and is of a gross drab looking lake. The breakfast was very ordinary for the most part, but the pho was yummy! The wifi didn't work very well at all. The bed was a bit lumpy. Couldn't wait to leave.

Stayed here one week for business. Ok with the rooms but breakfast was a hit and miss. Some days great and some days just ok. Japanese restaurant was ok but little overpriced. They did give you a discount coupon when you checked in. Laundry service was excellent and fast. Close to a supermarket. Lot of smokers in lobby.
