Hanoi Paradise Hotel, Hanoi

We stayed here for one night before heading to Halong Bay. We were upgraded to family suite room as we were just staying for on night and room we stayed in both spacious and neat. Breakfast in the morning was also adequate. We had reached there late in the night and ordered some fish n chips which i found really bad but may be bad choice on my part coz breakfast was ok. Room also had a computer and net which could be useful. Bathroom didnt have a separate shower area apart from the tub but it was not really crammed. Overall no complaints. Though for the price am not sure we could have got the same for a lesser price elsewhere

This hotel is located right in the old quarter (China Town) of Hanoi where one can see all the old buildings & night/morning market activities. The streets are narrow & the environment is noisy with cars and motorbike honking everywhere. Fortunately, the room is quite sound proof. Hawkers are seen everywhere peddling all sorts of items, from agricultural produce to food. It's an ideal place to experience the traditional & good old days atmosphere. However, for those who dislike the noisy, messy & smelly environment, this is not the place for you. But, on the whole I still recommend this hotel as it is definitely value for money as the rate is reasonable. After all, when traveling, a clean & decent room is good enough.

The hotel itself is Ok and of the three stars standard. However, the surrounding is not that good. It is quite old and dirty. It is inconvenient to find places to drink and eat. The only good place to dine is a KFC restaurant, which takes 25 minutes walk. If one rents a hotel on the other side I mean near Hilton, there are more choices of decent places for food and beverage.
