Noord-Vietnam: Goedkope Vakanties

Breakfast was not really recommended. But the location and staff are great! To wash clothes it’s 80.000 VND/kg, which is a bit more expensive than outside.

Fast check-in and check- out. Night staff very helpful. There was always someone on staff at all times which was great. Very quick response from all staff. large room, no bugs, cleaners available when requested. A great coffee cafe steps away, but they only sell drinks and sweets. There is a big restaurant next door but there are no prices on their extra- large menu so the prices are much higher than other places. The store next door has no prices on anything too. Not a walkable, tourist friendly area, but you can order a Grab vehicle to go to any location in the city at any time. However, it is quite difficult to get food delivered to this location, only a few places were listed in Grab to choose from and Grab cancelled my orders many times because there was very few delivery drivers willing to deliver there.

As no known hotel chains can be found at Hanoi airport, which we needed for an early morning flight, we decided in favour of the Family Transit Hotel. As it's rated 2.5 stars we knew we shouldn't expect (and didn't want) anything fancy, but seen the reviews we did expect something which should make this hotel outstanding for its 2.5 stars. Despite the nice guy at the lobby, we didn't notice it: matrasses were so hard, best described as sleeping on wooden shelves (and trust me, we love a firm matrass), fridge not working, shower (something out of the wall) in between toilet and water fountain without any curtain, non-English speaking pick-up service taking you into the middle of nowhere (at least for your feeling) at midnight, mentioning of 2 restaurants and much more on-site in the hotel's description on the booking website which weren't there and a far from good functioning A/C. Only two towels and one chair for a four persons room are no good. Transit hotel or not, these things can and should be easily improved! For good order's sake it must be mentioned that bedding, room and (badly designed) bathroom were spotless and that staff is doing its best to help. However, should we need to be at Hanoi airport very early in the morning again, we'd rather get up even earlier but stay at a somewhat more comfortable hotel in Hanoi (30 km from the airport).
