S Central Hotel & Spa

Our first stop on our Vietnam vacation was Hanoi. I did a quick search for a hotel on my phone as we were boarding the plane. This hotel popped up as recommended and I am so thankful it did. The staff was amazing and friendly, and so giving. From the minute we walked in the door we were treated like VIP and family. Chris, Hai, Dong, and Phuong were the ones we mostly communicated with and they were so helpful. Not only was the hotel clean and comfortable with large rooms, but they also helped us plan our trip to Bai Tu Long Bay and got us a really great deal with an amazing room! This is the perfect location (Old Quarter) for travelers looking to experience the shopping, markets, and local food. You’re close to EVERYTHING! On our way out of Vietnam we stopped in Hanoi for an hour to do some quick shopping. We arrived at S Central to ask for a favor. They were more than willing to hold our bags for us and get us a ride to the airport. They made sure our belongings were safe and helped us get out of Hanoi right on time. Hai also gave us a very thoughtful parting gift and welcomed us back anytime. If you’re looking for a hotel for a great rate, great care, and in a great location you will not be disappointed with S Central! We will be back again for sure!

It’s located in Hoan Kiem so everything is small. The room come with two double beds, which is perfect for two adults and two kids. However, they will charge you for the fourth kid. Kids under 18 have to stay with parents do not apply here. Free breakfast was serve in a tiny space in the reception area, I didn’t eat it so don’t even know the food but just the service area and the food display wasn’t appetizer at all. Bathroom was also tiny and not too clean also. The only good thing was the two beds and the sleeping area, clean and roomy, just like the picture I saw online. I won’t come back here though. But I think most of the hotels nearby are the same since it’s in this area and the price was pretty cheap. We only stay one night so I didn’t care.

The hotel was conveniently located in the old French quarter of Hanoi, right next to the Cathedral and walking distance to the lake. Plenty of shops and good restaurants/cafes nearby as well. The staff is also very friendly and hospitable. They assisted us with everything we requested from show tickets to day trips. Great place to stay and highly recommended for families.
