Sao Mai Boutique Hotel Hanoi

The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. I forgot my charger in Korea and went on a trip, but the staff lent me a charger.

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. The room was large, with a huge bed. The windows overlooked the alley. It was noisy one night, since there was a bar nearby. I asked to change the room, but of the available rooms there was a smaller one and its windows overlooked somewhere in the courtyards (not a great view), so I decided to refuse and stay in this room. I can't say that the room was perfectly clean. For example, there was dust on the lamps. I also noticed that they did not wipe the ventilation (the grate was dirty). However, for me it was not critical. They cleaned every day, changed towels every day, and there was always bottled water, tea bags and coffee (all this was free). The shampoo and shower gel had an amazing smell. The bathroom was clean. However, the room itself was morally outdated. It should be updated. Also: half of the sockets in the room did not work, and the lighting was also poorly adjusted. The breakfasts were buffet style. Breakfasts were delicious, excellent, no complaints. The staff is polite and smiling as usual. The hotel is located 10 minutes walk from the Temple of Literature. The airport is 30 minutes by taxi. The center (old quarter) is 15 minutes by taxi. Overall, you can stay here, not the worst choice, but I think that either the room stock needs to be updated or the prices for the room need to be reduced.

There is no room card, only one key to open and lock the door. The room has no windows. There is a nightclub next to it, and it makes loud noises at night.

Hotel did not match the description, run down, no gym
