Hanoi Elegance 2 Hotel, Hanoi

All in all a great experiance. The beach is stunning, the staff treats you like family, and the tours are thoughtful and engaging. We really enjoyed our honeymoon here and would love to visit again. There are a few signs of wear but the place looks better then the photos I'd seen on Agoda or Trip Advisor. I would definately recommend it for the money. We stayed in the Victoria Suite and were not dissapointed with our splurge! This isn't the place for authentic Vietnamese food however and I suggest you follow your guidebook and not the hotel's dinner recomendations. Brother's cafe was clearly the best Vietnamese restaurant we found in Hoi An for ambiance and food quaility.

I booked a Deluxe room, and we were given the room on the top of the building (they called it the Penthouse). The room had windows on 3 sides and had cool views. The room had a computer with unlimited free internet access, which was great, and a flat screen TV. On the first day we found a lot of very small ants on the table, and called the desk to sort it out. On the last night the ants were back, on the table, and some on the desk next to the bed. As it was the last night and I was tired, i cleared them as well as I could and didn't call the desk again. The bathroom was fairly basic, with the shower over the bath. The staff were very good, speaking excellent English. The breakfast was fairly simple, but fine considering the hotel class. Good location, about 10 minutes walk to the lake.
