La propriété — Mường Thanh Grand Xa La
Mường Thanh Grand Xa La is a functional, no-fuss three-star hotel in a suburban part of Hanoi, aimed at budget-conscious travellers and transit passengers. The lobby feels like a mid-range business hotel: clean tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a few armchairs. Its main draw is proximity to the bus station for southern routes, but it lacks the character and central location of Hanoi’s Old Quarter hotels. It suits those who value affordability and a quiet base over atmosphere or walkability.
Chroniques de Hà Nội
Hanoi was founded as Thăng Long in 1010 under Emperor Lý Thái Tổ, becoming the imperial capital of Đại Việt. After centuries of Chinese rule and later French colonisation, the city acquired a mix of pagodas, colonial villas, and Soviet-style blocks, which still define its streetscapes today. As the capital of reunified Vietnam since 1976, it has grown rapidly, balancing socialist monumentality with a vibrant street-food culture and a youthful café scene. Its contemporary identity is a tense mix of communist bureaucracy and dynamic entreprenurial energy, best seen around Hoàn Kiếm Lake at weekends.

Guide complet de Hà Nội →Meilleurs mois
October and November offer dry weather, cool temperatures (20–25°C), and low humidity, ideal for sightseeing. March and April are also good, with mild heat and less rain before summer.
Peak / Festival surge
July is peak summer season in Hanoi: hot (30–35°C), humid, and prone to sudden downpours. The city is busy with domestic tourists and school holidays. Hotel prices stay moderate at this three-star property but can rise 15–20% in central hotels. No major festival drives the peak – it’s purely weather-related school breaks.
La saison des épaules
May and September offer good discounts, still-warm weather (28–33°C), and fewer crowds before/after the summer monsoon. September brings occasional typhoons but cheaper rooms.
Météo & Emballage
Hanoi in early July is stuck in the southwest monsoon: expect daily heavy showers and high humidity. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and quick-dry walking shoes – an umbrella alone won't save you in a sudden downpour.
Briefing de la ville — Hà Nội
- The Hà Nội metro line 2A (Cát Linh–Hà Đông) now runs from 05:00 to 22:30, linking the hotel’s Xa La area to central stations like Cát Linh; a single ride costs 8,000–15,000 VND. A new bus rapid transit route also opened along Đại Lộ Thăng Long, reducing travel time to the Old Quarter.
- From July 2025, all short-term rentals in Hanoi must register with district authorities; some online apartments may be unavailable, pushing demand to budget hotels like Mường Thanh Grand Xa La.
- The city is resurfacing several main roads around Xa La through summer 2026, causing lane closures and longer taxi waits; allow extra 15 minutes for any trip to central districts.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mường Thanh Grand Xa La, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 through 8 facing the rear courtyard. These floors avoid street noise from Phố Phúc La and the front-side lift lobby traffic. Courtyard-facing rooms are noticeably quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3 facing the street (Phố Phúc La side). Street noise from motorbikes and occasional lorries is persistent, especially during morning rush hour (7-9am) and evening (5-7pm). Also skip rooms near the lift banks on any floor – the lift machinery and guest chatter carry.
Best views
The best view from a rear-facing room is of the residential and small park area behind the hotel – a mix of trees and low-rise houses, not spectacular but calm. Street-facing rooms look directly onto Phố Phúc La and the opposite row of shops. Neither offers a landmark view.
Quietest floors
Floors 5–8 are the quietest at Mường Thanh Grand Xa La. The building has 8 floors and a lift; mid-to-top floors buffer street noise better, and the 8th floor is below the roof (no footfall above).
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise source: Phố Phúc La is a secondary arterial road with continuous motorbike traffic, plus occasional buses and trucks. Morning street vendors set up near the hotel entrance around 6am. There's also a small karaoke bar two doors down that can be audible on lower floors until midnight on weekends.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on floor 6 or 7, rear side, at check-in – the staff are usually accommodating if you ask politely and the hotel isn't full. 2. The lift can be slow during checkout times (7–9am); take the stairs from the 2nd floor if you're in a hurry. 3. There's free on-street parking along the side alley to the left of the hotel, which is safer than leaving a scooter on the main road.
- 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

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.
