Hanoi Discovery Hotel

“Nice clean hotel near everything in Old Quarter ”

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a few nights during a stopover in Hanoi. Staff is super friendly, rooms are clean and well organized and the breakfast is great. No complaints and we would definitely stay here again.

“Very good budget hotel to stay at the heart of the old quarter. ”

I stayed here for 4 nights. Very friendly staff. Every thing was nicely cleaned. They also arrange my tour to Ninh Binh. It was really awesome. This discovery hotel management having 2 more hotels in the old quarter. But this one is the best.

“All good”

The hotel is located near several bars, so it can get quite noisy on weekends due to loud music and crowds. In the evenings, the street becomes especially busy with tourists, as it is known as a popular “beer street.” Additionally, some of the hotel amenities feel outdated, items like towels could … more

On a positive note, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always willing to assist. A special shoutout to Jacky Pham and Jay Nguyen for going above and beyond to make my stay more enjoyable.

“Stones throw from Beer Street”

I stayed a few nights at the Hanoi Discovery and undoubtably the best selling point of this hotel is the location, right in the heart of the old town and a stones throw from Beer Street.

I stayed a few nights at the Hanoi Discovery and undoubtably the best selling point of this hotel is the location, right in the heart of the old town and a stones throw from Beer Street. It is located in a dark and gloomy, narrow dead end lane, which at first can be a little off putting, but after a day or two you get used to it and it does carry a sort of old world charm. Anyway, you get what you pay for and at under $USD20 I cannot really complain. The rooms are dated and basic and a little on the dark and gloomy side. They are a good size though and have a little work station where you can set up a laptop etc. Plenty of cupboard space and two bed side tables, both sides with power points. Small fridge and kettle provided but you will have to purchase your own water, tea, coffee etc. The bathroom has a shower hose (good pressure and hot), standard western toilet and sink. Getting the shampoo/soap out of the dispensers was nigh on impossible so I ended up buying my own. A hair dryer is provided. The noise from outside is quite noticeable up until about 1am, I am a heavy sleeper so was never a problem for me. The WIFI in the hotel was not brilliant but ok, occasionally becoming unstable. The young man (his English is limited) working the front desk in the evenings sleeps on the reception sofa during the night and will get up to open the door for you if you have a late night out. During the day there is a lady on reception (speaks very good English) who is very helpful in offering advice and organising tours. During my stay there were numerous power disruptions but they eventually sorted them out and the last couple of days were trouble free. I booked through Agoda and the hotel is listed as having an elevator. There is NO elevator so if this is important to you then please take note! Would I stay here again? Yes, the good points out weigh the bad and at the price point paid it represented reasonably good value.
