Quite , good room, but far from any thing”

Good Front office staff but some time have English language problem. Have japanese restaurant but higher price . Breakfast room is clean with variety of food from bread,saland and Vietnamese food and nice coffee .Do not have Hotel bar or soft music lobby for some evening business discussion.Hanoi Hotel is nearby with some bar.Front road is quite dark with 2 small hotel near by .Have Vietnamese restaurand close by with variety of local food but staff do not understand English. Very small lake at back side and not that good view and some construction starting.Should not call lake side hotel as lake is not part of hotel.In Room internet service and lobby is quite fast .Hotel is very safe with a lot of japanese businessman and tourist .Recommend for business traveller looking for middile price accomodation.

Great Location and normal size room”

we book this hotel as we were looking for a quiet place to stay in hanoi. this hotel is not far from the most busy area, but it is a quiet place to stay a day or two. it is sitting next to a small lake, and some of its rooms has lake view. it has a nice chinese resturant with good seafood selection.

A good place”

I live in Hanoi and had family visiting. The Lakeside is right by my house, so a great location. Also a great location for anyone on business in Ba Dinh or looking to see a different part of the city.

Comfortable ”

Revisited to Lake Side Hotel after 8 years ago. Is always a perfect location for business traveler or tourist. Renovation has almost completed and it looks better as compared to 8 years ago. However, the building still gave an old look but room and lobby have been renovated.

An older hotel, comfortable, but needs a makeover!”

Breakfast provided little choice for vegetarian hot foods. Old hotel,carpets are badly stained, wallpaper dated. Beds comfortable. Facilities in room are adequate. Quite a distance to travel to the Old Quarter but taxis are readily available and cheap.(all metered) No ready access from hotel to walk around lake.

Nice & Clean Hotel ”

Stay is comfortable. Room is clean and spacious. Especially love the bed and the extra large pillow. If you don't mind paying a little more, choose the lake view room, which gives you nice view of the lake. As for hotel breakfast ...... very average. About 15 mins walk to the nearest shopping mall.

Convenient place and have lake nearby to relax and exercise”

Nice hotel and easy to take grab, have lake and food near hotel. Easy to have something to eat especially local food. Clean hotel

Great location near convention centre”

LOcated atmost embassies district. Its safe and pleasant hotel over looking lake view.

Fantastic”

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Our aim was to see the historical, religious and other important places in Hanoi. I presume the location of this hotel and the facilities provided to us enabled to meet our objectives.

Nice Hotel”

You may choose this hotel as one of alternatives in case Hanoi Hotel has no room available. Looks old but well cleaned and nice room and building. And this hotel has no entertaiments in itself so you may enjoy a calm enviroment and be able to have good sleep.

Good hotel for the price”

I stayed here 10 years ago it back then it was very different. It was loud lots of people and a roaring night club. All that noise is gone. Its ok if you need the peace and quiet but a night its very boring. Nothing around the area and if you need a quick bite to eat, you still need to take a taxi. If you need to stay near this area, pay a little more and go for the Fortuna Hotel or the Hanoi Hotel as there are lots of food outlets and night life there. Overall, a very boring hotel in a very boring area. But, the rooms were clean and good value. I had a corner room and the beds are round. Kind of interesting.

It is a hotel value for money”

The hotel is a lttle bit far a way from the center. However it is easy to get good foods from restaurants nearby. Service in this hotel is very good. Wifi free and I can get a smoking room.

Great service”

i enjoyed my stay at lakeside hotel. everything was great: rooms, service, breakfast. the location wasn't bad either. in short, a great 4-star hotel.

Good”

I think the price is too high for a basic hotel like this. Rooms on the street side are very loud. You cannot adjust the temperature of your room at all. For me it was way too hot in the room. Funniest thing was that every member of the staff gave us different instructions how to use the "AC" of the room. Also, don't come here if you are traveling as a gay couple. Some of the staff were really bitchy towards us. There were good things too: rooms were very clean and the breakfast was good. But I still feel this place is not worth of the money.

Clean, good location, but very dated.”

I first stayed in this hotel when it opened brand new in 1994. now 20 years later it seems that the rooms did not get much of a renovation. Nevertheless things work, room is clean, and location is superb for business travellers in the western districts of Ha Noi.

Generally Nice Stay”

The hotel room furnishings seems a bit old. More importantly, there is no way the temperature in the hotel room can be adjusted to customer's preference. The lift to the hotel floors is also slow. The shower room water spray is fixed to the wall, making showering more difficult. Seems the radio also not working.

Good location and decent room ”

peaceful and quiet environment. no noisy traffic, allowing one to concentrate on work. room is decent with all the basic facilities. row of eateries right opposite the hotel but not are not suitable for individual diner like me. there is a store selling phone top up cards right opposite the hotel; extremely convenient. staffs speak good english. all the taxi drivers had no problem locating this hotel. no room service after 10pm. i had to settle for cup noodles. complimentary wireless wasn't working in my room. bathroom had an unpleasant smell but the housekeeping lady was extremely helpful and sprayed deodorant. it took me an hour to get to the airport during morning peak hour on saturday.

Lake view room not recommended”

Stayed in Lake view room, in the morning around five, I can feel the noise coming from a huge speaker set outside (around the lake) for morning exercise. For my next visit, I rather stay city view instead of Lake view.
