I loved being out of the mess of the Old Quarter. This property is clean with simple amenities and furnishings. It seems to have a decent traffic for local business groups. As a solo traveler, it was nice to enjoy the location and the quiet of the pool (daily rental for pool is also a possibility so there will be... More

Our favourite hotel in Hanoi is the Sofitel Metropole, but it costs $$$. The Army Hotel was part of our itinerary on a group adventure. It's almost equally well located, costs much less and provides everything necessary for a couple of days' visit to Hanoi. More

Yes, Army Hotel may need some renovation but being in Hanoi one rally needs a quite place in green surrounding. The staff is professional without choking you with hospitality. No tours to sell! We had two rooms on the ground floor facing the pool. What we liked most at the Army that we were left alone and yet we have... More

We stayed in a nice 2 bedroom suite with our 3 kids. The room was clean and spacious, with two balconies overlooking the pool. The beds were very hard, but we found this everywhere we travelled in Vietnam! The furniture was all dark wood, which made the place quite gloomy. Also the shower water flowed out onto the floor and... More

This place would be okay if they aired it out, got decent, reliable wifi, and came down on the price by $15. We were charged $50 for single rooms (although the bed was nice and large). The first room (ground floor) they tried to put me in smelled like cat pee. i guess it's that it is moldy and not... More

Stayed for six nights last week and found the location great as it was near the Lake. Room was adequate but clean. Free wifi was a plus! There was a pool but I didn't dare take dip because of cold weather, though. I failed to bring a jacket as I didn't know Hanoi could be so cold. Good thing there... More

We booked the Army Hotel because it had an outdoor pool (although we never used it in the end due to the terribly cold weather!). The room was clean, fairly basic but had a TV with a good choice of channels and free wifi. The breakfast was fine and if anything had run out, we only had to ask the... More

This middle class hotel has a big garden with huge trees and a swimming pool, which is rare in Hanoi. It is my favorite for years. The rooms are fine, although a bit old. In summer during the local school holidays the swimming pool gets very crowded and insufficient chlorine is used for hygiene. In autumn and spring the pool... More

Nice clean tidy hotel...balcony overlooking the pool area. Apparently there aren't many hotels with pools in Hanoi, that are affordable, according to our taxi driver! The pool is also open to the public so at times was fairly busy. Breakfast OK. Hotel within walking distance to nearly everything or a cheap cab ride. More
