Golden Sail Hotel

We had a very pleasant stay at the Golden sail hotel. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. They tried their very best to accommodate us and to fulfill our needs/inquiry/,wishes. I would give them full credit for the excellent service. We got a room upgrade from the deluxe room to the family room because the air conditioner did not work in our room. There were 2 double beds in the room and a few amenities. The balcony was a little small to use but you could watch what was going on outside. The hotel is in a good location in the old quarters of Hanoi, there are restaurants and bars in walking distance. The small lake us also close by. There was loud music from a bar next door but the music gets turned off at 0:00. For breakfast there was a small buffet you could choose from and on 1 day a menu where you could have hot stuff made such as eggs, phó, noodles and other. The coffee and juices were good too. The breakfast room is a little small, so you have to share tables but that is fine. The value was good for the service we got. I would definitely recommend it to other people. Maybe more for younger crowds though.

The hotel is right in the center of Hanoi's most lively district, located in a old crowed street. One step outside and I could join the daily life of local people right away. This argulably was this hotel's strongest point because it took no time at all to travel to almost anywhere I wanted to visit. At weekends the streets turn into a night market and forbit vehicle travelling through, it's an experience you would'nt want to miss when staying here. It's kinda like a local mini festival. About the hotel itself, it must have been built recently, thus it's facilities were all new and worked perfectly well. Everything were nice and shiny, from the door handles to the window screws. While the room I chosed was some what narrow, still it was comfy enough for our whole family to spend the night. Price for the place cant be beaten any way. Services were great, people was helpful, kind and humble. I got nothing to complain, even impressed I might say. Very satified, will return 2nd time.
