Phoenix Palace Hotel Hanoi

This 0.5 points is for Ctrip. Because Ctrip's price is 460 per night, all the small hotels in the ancient city are relatively expensive, and the pictures shown are also okay, I thought it was a pretty good hotel and booked it. But when I arrived, I saw that there was a garbage station outside the hotel, and there was a foul smell when I opened the window. The room was very musty and the facilities were very old. The most shameful thing is that Ctrip priced this room at 460, and the hotel front desk only priced the same room at 350. Later, I checked agoda and found that the same room was 310. If it was over 300, then this hotel would be okay to give it three stars. However, Ctrip's price is too high, and for users who only use Ctrip all year round, it's really disgusting like eating a fly. In summary, the hotel is conveniently located, but the facilities are old, and the overall level is that of a hotel in an apartment building. If it is a relatively low price, it can be considered.

Phoenix Palace Hotel Hanoi: Accommodation Myths Under Faded Gold Leaf Phoenix Palace Hotel Hanoi, which calls itself a "five-star hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter", has a retro elevator door frame inlaid with gold foil and a crystal chandelier in the lobby, which perfectly replicates the illusion of the French colonial period. However, the moment I pushed open the door of Room 609, the musty smell and the peeling imitation gold paint in the corners made this time-travel journey quickly fall into the black humor of absurd realism. To be honest: the experience was not good, from the shaking elevator to the dampness and mold in the room, everything made me glad that I only booked a two-day room. Conclusion As I dragged my luggage through the hotel's glass door, I caught a glimpse of the yellowed certificate on the wall that read "Hanoi Best Nostalgia Experience Award 2016". Perhaps this hotel is a large-scale performance art, deconstructing colonial history with absurdity and mocking the vanity of the modern hotel industry with magical realism. It’s just that when you pay $1,000 a night for a room, you’re not expecting a Kafkaesque tragicomedy of a stay—unless your definition of “culture shock” includes sharing a bath towel with a gecko.

The hotel has a good location, the breakfast is good, and the staff is friendly.

Nice hotel.
