Great location and friendly staff. Very helpful travel desk, they helped us with our trip to Halong Bay (Ms hong tran). Breakfast was good, nice service!
The rooms were smaller then we expected, bit small for 3 nights.

Its location and outstanding staff. Hong, but especially Jen made our trip so pleasant. We could book tailor made tours in advance or the last moment. When Jen booked taxis she even checked if we had arrived safely. Mistakes in food deliveries were corrected by Jen. No request was too much for Jen I recommend the property strongly
Rooms could have more plugs and Somme extra toiletries like moisturiser

It was truly a great experience!! the hotel is beautiful, very nicely decorated and very good standard overall. The beds very the most comfortable we had in a long time
The location is just perfect, in the heart of the old quarter, walking distance from all attractions and restaurants. Breakfast was also very good and SPA service is very recommendable as well.
We loved the the service by the very lovely staff - extremely helpful, very attentive and so nice. Big shoutout to Suzy who is an amazing concierge and all the ladies at the breakfast and the manager, everyone was so nice!

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff, especially Jen at reception were amazing and attentive! Breakfast and all the staff working at breakfast were fantastic!
There was a gap in the ceiling between the toilet room and shower which was a bit impractical. I also found the spa/massage staff a bit too pushy for a tip for a hotel spa

Emplacement à 2 pas du lac, dans le vieux quartier. Au top. Avec des petites boutiques et restaurants super sympas autours.
Personnel très gentil et à l’écoute.
Salle de sport, et spa
Chambre correct, dommage on est tombé sur une chambre avec une fenêtre qui donnait sur une la cage d’escalier mais comme on est tout le temps dehors, ça passe!

We loved how friendly the staff were. The place was super clean and organised. They had a variety of food for breakfast and the rooftop bar was great for a drink in the evening, more expensive than the street but typical for hotel bars around the world. We booked a massage at the space and the communication for this was very easy - they arranged it at reception and called our room with the time.

From the moment that we arrived to the moment that we left, we could not fault this hotel. The staff were amazing, especially Anna, who helped us with all of our trips and questions. The room was immaculate and comfortable. But the breakfast was the main event! Never have we ever had such an incredible feast! We highly recommend this hotel to everyone!

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Shining Central Hotel & Spa. The hotel location was ideal, and we would walk to most of the tourist spots. There was a wide variety of options for breakfast. The beds were very comfortable and the room was cleaned daily. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Thien from the reception. She was always easy to approach if we had any concerns and gave us good recommendations for restaurants, places to visit and reliable ATMs to use.
We got a room with balcony but the balcony was very small and not much of a view.

Attentive staff, great breakfast and perfect location for Hoan Kiem Lake. Comfortable rooms also.
There isn’t a lot of space for hanging clothes for a longer stay.

Tôi đánh giá cao sự tận tâm của nhân viên khách sạn. Nhân viên lễ tân rất nhiệt tình hỗ trợ gia đình tôi. Bữa sáng ngon (đầu bếp nấu các món phở, bún ... khá ngon, đúng kiểu truyền thống Hà Nội). Các bạn nhân viên phục vụ bữa sáng cũng rất lịch sự, thân thiện và nhiệt tình. Địa điểm khách sạn ở ngay khu trung tâm, xung quanh cũng có nhiều quán ăn ngon. Khách sạn là lựa chọn tốt đối với khách du lịch Việt Nam cũng như người nước ngoài. Cảm ơn các bạn.
Tôi không có phàn nàn nào cả. Gia đình tôi có con nhỏ nên đôi khi tiêu chí lựa chọn khách sạn hơi khắt khe thôi.

The hotel is nice, modern and well equipped! We only spent one night but it was a very pleasant stay. The breakfast was delicious! The location of the hotel is very centric and right next to great restaurants and coffees!
And special thanks to Emily at the front desk! She did amazing job attending us, helping us with our requests, and recommending us things for our upcoming days. We highly recommend staying here!
The room was a bit dark, not much natural light and the lighting in the room could be improved.

The location is great as it is right in the middle of old town. There’s good food and everything need within the vicinity. The staff was definitely a BIG BIG plus, their customer service is a 10/10 and they have been super helpful throughout the trip. My dad had a little issue with his eye due to an infection and the receptionist aided him and guided him to the pharmacy with the medication recommended! We became good friends with the staff here and it felt really homely. The stay was so so very comfortable and my family had a great time staying here. We also loved the breakfast, the spread changes daily and the food was of great quality. My parents loved the soups and noodles. They also helped us out with places we could shop/visit for new year’s goods and had great recommendations (definitely local gems).
The gym could be better, while the equipment was clean, it was a little lacking but definitely sufficient for a simple holiday work out.
10.0
Facilities were great! The location was also good just a 10-minute walk away from some great food spots such as BanhMi25 and about a 20-minute walk away from the train street.

Très bel accueil. L’hôtel est très propre et vraiment bien situé! Petit déjeuner délicieux et personnel à la salle à manger aux petits soins!!
Les chambres sont vraiment petites (apparemment comme ça pour la plupart des hôtels dans le vieux quartier). Notre première chambre avait une mini fenêtre qui donnait sur un mur… on a changé pour un peu plus grand avec une plus grande fenêtre. Pas vraiment d’espace de rangement pour les vêtements et pas très bien insonorisé.

Location is perfect from all tourist spots.
The connecting room is perfect when travelling with friends/family. It’s like a small apartment with two rooms.
The staff is exceptional. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. And extremely polite.

The location was perfect for me to explore around old quarters. The staff very very helpful giving me information and helping book taxi and transfer. The facilities were top knock and the breakfast had many verity of dishes to choose from.
My only negative about the property was that the room was not sound proof and could hear the cleaners out side of the room, which woke me up. Although this was around 10.

Personale gentilissimo e super accogliente.
Un grande apprezzamento alla receptionist del mattino!!
Si potrebbe leggermente migliorare il livello di pulizia che però presumo sia in linea e anche buono rispetto ad altre strutture della città

Newer hotel in good location near Old Town/French Quarter/Lake. Could walk to most things if you choose ;) Bed very clean and comfy, shower hot and AC cold. Has sister spa in basement that is reasonable. Staff is excellent, very helpful and friendly. I would stay again.
BTW Highly recommend ‘Hanoi Social Club’ for eats/drinks. VERY good food (veg friendly) and creative cocktails in nice relaxed setting. Wish I’d gone sooner.
Room a little dim even with ‘balcony’ which is the standard viewless shaft - really just meant for smokers. Hotel taxi driver from airport too aggressive/risk taking for my taste even in Vietnam. Grab drivers more careful.
10.0
The staff were really helpful from check in and onwards. They were great at anticipating our needs and helpful in every way. The bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept in, wish I could have brought it home.
It would have been nice if there had been a downstairs lounge/bar area with comfy chairs etc.
10.0
The location is great, very close to everything. Also the staff is amazing and very helpful, after visiting Ha Long Bay we had to spend a few hours in Hanoi and they offered to take care of our luggage while visiting the city and offered a showroom before we took a train to another city.
Very nice breakfast with a lot of options 😋

The staff were so friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make the stay perfect. They were the highlight of the stay! They surprised us with honeymoon decorations in the room with fresh flowers and cake, which made it so special!
The room was nice and comfortable, and the aircon, the bed and the shower were great!
The breakfast was really good and varied too!

We booked a room with two single beds. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The service is exeptional. Each and everyone of the staffmembers is so so sweet and friendly.
The bathroom is practically in the room and the room itself was pretty dark (no natural lighting).
