It was claustrophic and forgettbale. Older building, basically dingy. It is in a nice area, central to the old city. Other than that, mediocre or worse. Food at breakfast was completely average.

The Hotel is fine but you need to be aware that the rooms are very small. I booked a Superior Double Room which was at the back of the hotel and was much smaller than described. I could just about lay down and open my case at the side of the bed as this was the only place to put it, but then had to climb over it to get in and out of bed or go to the bathroom. The window that you see in the pictures is tiny and opens onto an internal corridor so there is no natural light or ventilation. Also the bathroom lights come on from a motion sensor which seems like a cool idea if you get up in the middle of the night but is less entertaining when you get back into bed and can’t switch them off for yourself. t’s, ok and the location is good but definitely not for the claustrophobic.

My husband and I spent 7 nights in north Vietnam during our honeymoon. We spent 4 nights at the hotel, and 3 nights in-between to explore Halong Bay and Ninh Binh. The staff helped us plan the trip, which made it so stress-free. I communicated with the staff over WhatsApp, and they understood enough English to make everything feel easy. They’re extremely accommodating and kind. I would recommend staying here if you’re in Hanoi. It’s very walkable to the night market and tons of tour agencies.

My partner and I arrived in Vietnam about 3 weeks ago. What an amazing time we’ve had, and as we traveled from south to north our trip just got better and better. We were thrilled to arrive at the Media Spa Hotel amidst the bustle of the Old Quarter. Such a beautiful building, and what a warm welcome by staff. We loved our room (a family room - maybe a little small for 3 people but a good size for 2 big Australians) and felt utterly spoilt. Staff helped to arrange activities for us to do, made suggestions about where to eat, and generally looked after us. We began our mornings with a free breakfast - a lovely range of delicious delights. Thanks to our breakfast host, Duy. We enjoyed our conversations with you and noted you made everyone feel comfortable. In the evening we visited the Lux Sky Bar, viewed stunning sunsets, and enjoyed a cool drink or two. I loved my cocktails made by the guys working in the bar. Thank you for looking after us at the end of big days in and around Hanoi. Finally, a big shout out to all the staff working so hard in Reception. You are all amazing, friendly and attentive. It’s you, who do all the hard work, that make a place to stay in so memorable.

I arrived to Hanoi around 12am and I had booked the hotel only the night before. I received a very prompt message back about getting a driver which was around $20 usd. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. They even remembered my name and greeted me each time with it. The room was very nice. The bathroom was modern and they provided me with fruit and water for free in the room. I do have to say the walls are very thin and you can here everything going on within the hotel but I was still able to get a good nights rest in the very comfy beds. Also the location is great. Anything you would like to see or do is all within walking distance or a short grab ride away.

Best Place Ever to Stay In Hanoi

We had a magnificent stay! It was the end of our 3 week trip to North Vietnam and we just wanted to chill out at an up-market hotel close to the action. We have stayed in Hanoi on several different occasions, each time staying at a different location in the Old Quarter. This was one of the best. The room was great - with a balcony - and the location was excellent. The breakfast was up there with the best. The rooftop bar was the highlight of the trip - Helen and Eric were the perfect hosts - so engaging and genuinely interested in the guests. We have been to Vietnam both in 2018 and 2019 and would have to say that Helen and Eric are the best - very entertaining. We really want to thank them both and the rest of the staff, including the restaurant staff, who were amazing, for a great stay. 100% recommend.

Very nice hotel, lovely and friendly staff, great location. The hotel is well placed in Old Quarter with all tourist attractions within walking distance. It is also very close to Hon Kiem lake and the Night Market (Fri-Sunday every week). There are loads of options for street food bars etc. Very close by. The hotel is clean snd well maintained. My room *junior) was small - but exactly as described on Expedia and the hotel website. TV - couple of English language news channels (CNA and DW news) plus Fox movies, Fox Life and Box movies. Hotel is clean, up-to-date and there is a Spa onsite. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Whether it's Jenna and her day reception team (Helen, Min and Sophie) or the lovely and always helpful LaLa on the night reception. They all care about trying to make your stsy in Hanoi amazing. The team in the restaurant and bar are just as keen to help where they can. The hotel can also arrange car for the airport (pick up or drop off) and trips to the likes of Halong Bay (definitely wirth the dsy trip and cruise). Overall, a lovely place to stay and somewhere i'll visut again if back in Hanoi (this was my second stay here).

Not as good deal as you think.

Location of this place is not the best. The road to get to the hotel from main road is atrocious. I booked a cabana which is shirt of their presidential suite. Really is just a big room with a bed. Should book regular room. The wifi is a problem. It keeps going in and out. So far the electricity has been gone out 3 times. Not sure if this happens in all Cambodia bit feel I have to mention it. The pool is actually pretty cool the food in the restaurant is ok but prices are in US and is not cheap at all. Downtown is 3 min from here according to the front desk. Seems farther to me. The welcome was very nice and warm. They were waiting for me at the airport in a Tuk Tuk. overall would probably pick another hotel if a ever come back here. The allure of a cabana style room got me. Now I'm stuck in this place.

Evening meal choices include some basic western choices. Personally i would choose the street food options - amazing quality and options. TV includes some English language movie and news options.

The employees are fabulous and are there to assist you with taxis or tours although you don't need a taxi if your used to walking. Breakfast had an egg station to order and Asian food. My only complaint would be the juices they served tasted weak and watered down. Fruit was available daily. Amenities were provided in the room. Luggage storage on site.

This hotel is definitely not a 3 star but a 5 star hotel! When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted warmly. The receptionist offered us cold refreshing towels and welcome drinks. We stayed in a family suite for 3 people. The room was clean and spacious. It had all the amenities you need and even a labtop. The breakfast was superb and offered variety of food. We stayed here for 6 days and every morning the breakfast was a bit different so we didn’t get bored with the taste. The location was convenient. Being right in the Old quarter, everything was right nearby. The lake was only 2 min walk away. To and from the airport, you can take bus 86 which stops about 3min walk away from the hotel. The welcome note and handwritten goodbye card from the manager added a personal touch to the overall satisfying exeprience of the stay. Highly recommend this hotel when visiting Hanoi.

Language barrier or lack of concern for guests?

The air conditioner did not work in the room. Woke up at 2:30am in a sweat. Called the front desk about the issue. Someone came to the room and used the remote for the AC, said the issue was resolved "ok" and was never seen again for the night. The issue was never resolved, no fan was brought to the room and there was no offer to move to another room to finish the nights sleep comfortably. That morning at 6:00am, we informed the front desk that we had to keep our room door opened to the corridor to let out the heat etc. They followed us up to the room, looked at the remote and said it was "ok". No credit was given for an unacceptable nights stay.

Excellent Place to Stay on Ha Noi Old Town

We chose this hotel based on location and referrals from friends who had had excellent experiences there. It is an inner city hotel located in the old town section of Ha Noi within walking distance of shopping and great local restaurants. The staff was wonderful and provided excellent guidance for places to visit and how to travel and navigate the city. Their map was great and spotlighted the top visitor attractions and gave great choices for restaurants with price guides. The hotel breakfast was very well done and offered an array of Vietnamese and western dishes. We had 6 people in our group including two young children and found the hotel perfect for all. It is exceptionally clean and well managed and the staff was very attentive to our needs.

Great location and excellent staff

Stayed for 4 nights in a deluxe room. The service was excellent and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. Rachel even helped us purchase last minute tickets for the Water Puppet show on the day we checked in! The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located in the Old Quarter along "shoe street", just behind the Water Puppet Theatre and about 100m from Hoan Kiem Lake. It was far enough away from the backpacker areas but still close enough where we could comfortably walk to the bars, restaurants and shops frequented by foreigners. There isn't a pool or spa but they recommended an excellent spa (SF Spa) nearby. We asked for a room with a view on a high floor during booking and we got a top floor room with a large balcony and a fantastic view of Hoan Kiem Lake! It seemed like the only room of its kind, looking from the front of the property. Check in was very smooth as they had anticipated our arrival and everything was ready, just had to sign on the registration form. They also inspected our room to ensure all was in order, turned on the A/C and laptop computer before escorting us up to the room. The room was small even by Vietnam standards but it came with a large balcony which was about two-thirds as big as the room and came with outdoor furniture. Guess that's why the room seemed small :D. The breakfast buffet was small but adequate. It had eggs cooked to order and also freshly prepared pan cakes, eggs benedict and Vietnamese pho noodles.

My favorite Hanoi hotel so far.

I stayed in a couple of different rooms at the Meracus. The first time due to a booking error I was upgraded to a "Family" room. Beautiful, big and a window to the outside. The "Superior" room that I had booked and is what I got the next time was a lot smaller and had a tiny window that opened to the stairwell. Both rooms were clean, great quality and came with a couple of bottles of water and a tray of fresh fruit. Bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel

Fantastic stay, staff were so welcoming. If you don't have a specific plan for what to do in Hanoi, there's no need to worry as they will show you a map of what's good in the city upon checkin (thanks for recommending the 1946 resturant) - it was a great experience. One important thing to note though is that most places in Hanoi, including hotels, seem close their doors at around midnight (not 100% sure on the time) so don't be alarmed if the doors are shut if you return late. Our concerns swiftly went away after we found the door bell and they quick to let us in to our room. Thanks to everyone that looked after us at this hotel and I would recommend.

A good as it gets in this location/hotel segment

The hotel is medium size and well located in the old quarter. The service provide was, without exception, excellent, and was consistent with that provided by a much larger and prestigious hotel. A pleasant and somewhat homely breakfast is served downstairs consisting of local dishes. The room is simple but very comfortable and linens etc. were all scrupulously clean (and garnished with rose petals). The laundry service was good. In short, this is a highly recommended mid range hotel in the old quarter.

Impeccable service

Good things first - the service at this hotel was impeccable; I cannot remember better and that includes far more expensive and luxurious hotels. The staff were friendly and attentive at all times. When my friend asked where to get oranges to make juice they directed him (nothing surprising there) but when he came back with oranges they explained he had made an error (he brought the orange ones, the fool) and so the lady at the desk took him out to buy green oranges (who knew?). And they were consistently brilliant like that - taxis were booked and arrived promptly, tours and spas were reasonably priced and easily booked, directions were precise, suggestions were helpful, breakfast staff were super and attentive, when asking for ice it appeared almost immediately. And so on. Less good things - the hotel is tiny and our rooms were super small. Hard to get two people and their cases in at the same time. You may bump your head on the wall trying to get out of the bed. If I were to stay again (and I certainly would) then I think paying the extra for a larger room is definitely worth it. The corridors are noisy, you will hear the other guests leaving and arriving and you will hear the rooms being serviced from around 7am. I could also fuss about the soap (awkward bottles) and a few other odd things but that would be unreasonably fussy. Overall, a terrific place to stay mostly thanks to the terrific staff.

Friendly staff, good location, nice and clean room

Staff was very frendly and helpful, also with any ad-hoc request. With small gestures they definitely exceeded expectations. The room was clean and nice. Room service did a good job every day. The Hotel is located in the old quarter, just 1 minute walk away from the lake. Breakfast is good, offering western and asian food. The only thing to improve would be the wifi, which was sometimes quite slow.

Right in old town chaos

Right in the chaos of old town in one of its busiest little streets, which is convenient and at times inconvenient. Smaller hotel, but very clean and very friendly. A good choice if you are transferring to Halong Bay for a cruise. Rooms are good without being spectacular. A note though for the staff who looked after our luggage for a day, and were extremely courteous and friendly. They are great and a big asset to the hotel!

Superb!

My friend and I met a car accident on our way out of Hanoi, on the road to the airport. We emailed the hotel about it because they had arranged for the taxi. They were ever so helpful and even asked which hospital we're in (even as we were already in HCMC then) so they could send flowers! These guys are just the best staff one could find in a hotel. I will definitely recommend it and will stay there again.

Hotel was great, staff were great, food was great and service was great! Surrounding area was good, as the lake is close by, but it can be a tourist trap, as thieves and rip-off artists abound. I caught a pick-pocket reaching into my girlfriend's bag.

A Home Away from Home

We stayed here for a week. Suffice to say that we were treated like a royalty. All the staffs will greet you with a smile n a greeting upon meeting you everywhere and they are very eager to help you in every way they can. Upon check-in, we were given welcome drinks and cold towel for refreshments. Breakfast spread was plenty and we loved it how they take their time to cater to our needs as Muslim. They would explain which dish we can or can't take and if you need something like juice or cereal for the kids, they will get them for you, just ask away. Wifi is great any where in the hotel. The only beef I have is that the toilet's water pressure is too high. Upon the last day of our stay, the staff presents us with a complimentary farewell gift of traditional dessert. It was hard to say goodbye to a great hotel like this.

Service and cleanliness was 5 star. Very attentive staff, polite and patient in answering our questions. We were so happy that we left an extra tip. Surrounding area is touristy as it's very close to the Lake, but there are pick pockets targeting unwary travelers returning to their hotels, so be careful.
