Saigon Hanoi Hotel

Great home base

I stayed over a week, on a tight budget and loved it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was quiet (8th floor), cleaned daily and well, with a kettle, mini-frig (that worked), bath, A/C, tv etc. Wifi strong enough to skype video nearly always. Very central and quiet and peaceful - plus a vegetarian restaurant close by if you're veggie. Breakfast had fruit which I take, and lots more food if you are hungry. Really a lovely place and most of all kind people. I travel about 50% of my time internationally and often stay in more up market places, but this one was a charmer and more than adequate for my needs.

There were occasional issues with hot water (hint: take a tepid shower when you come in and it is perfect), and teeny tiny ants (that did not bite), but if you mentioned these the staff tried to fix.
