La propriété — Dan & Kelsea
This is a compact, no-fuss three-star in Hanoi's Old Quarter. The lobby is small but clean, with tiled floors and a reception desk that usually has a staff member ready with a map. It suits independent travellers who want a central base without paying for frills — you're trading lobby space for location, and the trade works.
Chroniques de Hà Nội
Hanoi was founded as Thang Long in 1010 under Emperor Ly Thai To, who moved the capital here. The city's architectural layers run from Buddhist temples to French colonial boulevards, then Soviet-era blocks and modern high-rises. French Indochina left wide tree-lined avenues and the elegant Opera House, while the Old Quarter's '36 streets' still hum with trade in the same guilds as centuries ago. Today, Hanoi is Vietnam's political and cultural core, where motorbikes swarm, pho stalls line pavements, and the city balances breakneck development with quiet lakeside temples.

Guide complet de Hà Nội →Meilleurs mois
October to December. The weather is dry and mild (20-26°C), skies are often clear, and humidity drops. These months also dodge the peak summer heat and the worst of the monsoon.
Peak / Festival surge
Spring Tet (late January/early February) and October-November are busy domestically. Prices for a basic double at Dan & Kelsea can jump 20-40% during Tet. Autumn's good weather also draws international tourists, especially in November.
La saison des épaules
March to April and September are good budget months. The weather is warm but not oppressive, crowds are thinner than in peak autumn, and hotel rates often fall by 10-20% from peak levels.
Météo & Emballage
Hanoi's summer monsoon (May-September) means sudden downpours even on sunny mornings. Pack a compact umbrella and quick-dry shoes; leave suede at home.
Briefing de la ville — Hà Nội
- Hanoi's metro line 2A (Cat Linh-Ha Dong) now runs from 5am to 10pm — it's a cheap, reliable way to dodge Old Quarter traffic jams if you need to go southwest of the centre.
- The Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian zone (weekend evenings) is still active and expanded to include more street food vendors since late 2025. It's a good bet for a traffic-free evening stroll.
- Summer 2026 may see renewal work on parts of the Old Quarter's pavement — some streets are being repaved under the city's beautification plan. Check for closures on Hang Gai or Hang Bac before walking.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dan & Kelsea, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 7, facing away from the street. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the building's lift capacity (the lift serves floors 1–7).
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–3, especially those facing the street. The ground floor may have reception and foot traffic, while floors 1–3 are closer to street noise and any service entrance noise.
Best views
Rooms facing away from the street will overlook the back of the building (likely a courtyard or adjacent buildings). There's no positive view from the street side, so request a rear-facing room.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 7 are the quietest. The lift doesn't serve above floor 7, so there's no through-traffic above that level.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a street in Hà Nội, meaning motorbike and scooter traffic from early morning until late evening. Rooms at the front will pick up honking and engine noise. The hotel has no bar or restaurant mentioned, so internal noise from those sources is unlikely.
Insider tips
1) Check in early (before 2pm) to secure a high floor, as rooms on floors 4–7 are limited and popular. 2) If you're sensitive to noise, bring earplugs for any street-facing rooms, as double glazing isn't guaranteed at this star level.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Monnaie & Monnaie
Get a travel card →Vietnamese Dong, VND
Wait until you're in the Old Quarter to exchange cash — gold shops often give better rates than banks. Avoid the airport and tourist bureaux, where you'll lose 3-5%.
Cards work in mid-range restaurants, hotels, and bigger shops, but cash is still king for street stalls, taxis, and small eateries. Contactless is rare outside major chains.
Tipping isn't expected but is appreciated — round up the fare for taxis or leave 5-10% in nicer restaurants. A small tip for hotel porters is fine but not obligatory.
Manger, faire du shopping et voyager sur un budget
Cheap car hire →A glass of iced milk coffee (cà phê sữa đá) from a street stall or café costs around 15,000-20,000 VND.
A bowl of phở bò (beef noodle soup) from a local phở shop runs about 30,000-50,000 VND.
A simple cơm bình dân (cheap rice meal) with a meat or fish dish and veg is around 25,000-40,000 VND for a main.
The Old Quarter, especially around Hàng Bông, Đồng Xuân Market, and Tạ Hiện Street, is packed with street food stalls and bia hơi joints for cheap eats.
WinMart and Co.op Food are common budget supermarkets in central Hà Nội, plus many small corner stores sell basics.
Chợ Đồng Xuân market is the go-to for cheap clothing, fake brand gear, and fabric by the metre. Cửa hàng thời trang shops on Hàng Ngang and Hàng Đào also sell budget clothes.
The cheapest way around is walking or taking a xe ôm (motorbike taxi) for short trips (15,000-25,000 VND). From Nội Bài Airport, take public bus 86 (35,000 VND) rather than a taxi (300,000+ VND).
Eat at street stalls or bia hơi (local beer corners) for 20,000-30,000 VND meals. Haggle gently at markets, especially for multiple items. Buy bottled water from convenience stores (5,000 VND) instead of tourist shops (10,000+ VND).

Principales attractions à Hà Nội
💡 Ignore the men offering to take your photo with the 'turtle' — it's a stuffed specimen and costs extra. Walk anti-clockwise for the most peaceful views.
💡 Visit around 6pm on a weekday — the doors open for evening prayer and you can see the lit interior without a service. Avoid Sunday morning unless you want to attend mass.
💡 Visit on weekday mornings only — it's closed afternoons and Mondays. Bring ID and leave bags at the free luggage counter outside. Combine with the One Pillar Pagoda next door (also free).
💡 Go on weekdays before 10am to avoid school groups. The back garden near the Khue Van pavilion is usually empty for photos.
💡 Buy the English audio guide (50,000 VND) — worth it for the stories behind each house. Visit the outdoor area first before the heat builds. Free lockers at the entrance.
