Bluebell Hotel

Bluebell Hotel turned out to be such a hidden gem in the Old Quarter. It’s pretty basic in terms of facilities, but I genuinely enjoyed my stay. The bed was really comfortable, and they had all the essentials I needed for a good night’s sleep. The WiFi is reliable, and the air conditioning works well, which made the stay even more comfortable. I also liked the thoughtful detail of having a plug right above the bed—genius touch, especially if you like charging your phone while lying down. You’ll hear the occasional motorbike passing by (as expected in Hanoi), but it’s manageable, and it gets noticeably quieter at night. I slept well throughout my stay. The location is a huge plus. It’s literally just a short walk to St. Joseph’s Cathedral, so getting around the Old Quarter is super easy. Very strategic, and great value for the price. I really appreciated that the owners let me store my luggage while I traveled outside Hanoi. It's such a thoughtful and convenient service. Honestly, I liked it enough that I'm planning to book it again for my next trip to Hanoi. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Bluebell Hotel if you’re looking for a simple, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in Hanoi. It’s not fancy, but it’s practical, reliable, and honestly very good value for money.

Great experience

The room was very bright, it had two lights which worked well together. The windows opened for a bit of airflow. The room had both aircon and a fan, and the mini fridge worked well. There was always a member of staff downstairs if you needed them. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to everything in the old quarter. We booked 2 nights here because the hotel we wanted to stay at was full, but we did extend as this one is OK for the money and we deemed it not worth the hassle of moving for 2 more nights.

The room description is not accurate. There is no kettle, or tea and coffee making facilities. There is also no TV. I asked the staff about this and they said no rooms have these facilities, and the description has probably not been updated since the refurbishment (though I note the photos are current). I would suggest that they need to update the description. The bathroom door doesn't close properly which means the water from the shower gets out into the bedroom and the bathroom fan is not very good so the room smells fusty most of the time - even though we had the window open 24/7. The WiFi is not good at all. The bed was incredibly soft, bit like sitting on a marshmallow, and not at all comfortable.

C'era tutto l'essenziale. 1 acqua a testa ogni giorno. Servizio di pulizie giornaliero. Aria condizionata. Frigo. Bollitore. Considerando il quartiere temevo di trovare degli scarafaggi in camera ma invece no. Penso che sia gestito bene.

La struttura è quella che è. Non c'è una hall perché in realtà è un negozio di affitto motorini. Sono 5 piani senza ascensore. C'è un hotel boutique nella stessa via con lo stesso indirizzo. Non bisogna confondersi. Purtroppo il prezzo era molto più alto del normale perché era durante le festività. Il letto era piccolo, in una nicchia larga esattamente quanto il letto. La struttura è in una via dove c'è rumore fino a tardi e molto presto. Hanoi non dorme mai.
