La propriété — Novotel Hanoi Thai Ha
Novotel Hanoi Thai Ha is a dependable business-oriented hotel in a busy mid-town district, with a clean, modern lobby that feels professional rather than luxurious. The rooms are functional and quiet enough for work, but the location places you firmly in local Hanoi — a 20-minute drive from the Old Quarter. It suits travellers who value a reliable chain, a decent pool, and easy access to Cau Giay business zone over Old Quarter character.
Chroniques de Hà Nội
Hanoi was founded as Thang Long in 1010 by Emperor Ly Thai To, who moved the capital from Hoa Lu to this site on the Red River. French colonial rule (1887–1954) gave the city its tree-lined boulevards, eclectic Indochine architecture, and the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral. After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, Hanoi became the unified nation’s capital and underwent rapid modernisation, yet the Old Quarter’s narrow streets still follow the medieval guild layout. Today, Hanoi balances a thousand-year heritage with a youthful, entrepreneurial energy, its lakes and street-food stalls defining the everyday rhythm.

Guide complet de Hà Nội →Meilleurs mois
March–April and October–November offer dry, mild weather (20–28°C) with lower humidity, fewer typhoon risks, and manageable tourist crowds.
Peak / Festival surge
July–August is the peak summer holiday season, with high heat and humidity (30–35°C) plus sudden afternoon downpours; hotel rates at Novotel rise by 15–25%, driven by domestic tourists and families.
La saison des épaules
May and September are the best shoulder months for lighter crowds and modest hotel discounts (5–15%), though May can be hot and September may still see rain.
Météo & Emballage
Hanoi’s climate quirk is its sudden, heavy tropical downpours even in the dry season — carry a compact umbrella or a light waterproof jacket every day. Pack loose-fitting long-sleeved cotton clothes and a wide-brimmed hat to manage the heat and sun; shorts are fine for daywear but bring one smart outfit for evening dining.
Briefing de la ville — Hà Nội
- Hanoi’s new metro Line 2A (Cat Linh–Ha Dong) now connects the Novotel area’s Thai Ha Street to Dong Da district, easing travel to the Old Quarter; stations are walkable from the hotel.
- The city’s ongoing ban on private motorcycles in the Old Quarter on weekends (6 pm–midnight, Friday to Sunday) has expanded pedestrian zones around Hoan Kiem Lake — check for temporary closures near the hotel’s delivery routes.
- Summer 2026 sees the annual ‘Hanoi Days’ festival (around July 5–10) with street performances and food stalls in Ly Thai To Park; expect some road closures and higher demand for central hotels.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Novotel Hanoi Thai Ha, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request high-floor rooms on the side facing away from Thai Ha Street, ideally above floor 8 to reduce street noise. Corner rooms on floors 9-11 often have better sound insulation and more natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-3: these are closest to the lobby, restaurant, and street level, with direct noise from Thai Ha traffic and potential kitchen odours. Also avoid rooms directly above the hotel's bar or function rooms (usually low floors at the back).
Best views
Rooms facing the back (likely overlooking the hotel's small pool or adjacent residential area) offer the best view—green and relatively calm. Street-facing rooms on Thai Ha get a city scene but with constant traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 8 to 12 (top floors) are quietest—well above street activity and away from public areas. The 11th floor often has fewer passing room service trolleys.
🔊 Noise notes
Thai Ha Street is a major artery in Hanoi: expect motorbike horns and engine noise from 6am to midnight. The hotel's lift lobby and service entrance on lower floors can add clatter. Weekend karaoke from nearby cafes sometimes carries up to mid-floors.
Insider tips
1. If you need quiet for work or early sleep, book a 'Superior' room and call ahead to request a high floor away from the street—the staff are usually accommodating. 2. The hotel has a small pool on a low floor; if you want sun, ask for a room on the east side (morning light) to avoid the afternoon heat typical of Hanoi.
- 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
Most travellers withdraw from ATMs (avoid eXchange on Trang Tien Street — poor rates). Airport and tourist-area bureaux give bad rates; use bank ATMs inside the city.
Visa/Mastercard accepted at larger hotels, supermarkets, and mid-range restaurants; cash essential for street food, taxis, and markets. Contactless is rare.
Not expected or customary; locals rarely tip. For excellent service in restaurants, rounding up or leaving 10,000–20,000 VND is appreciated but never demanded. Taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips.
Manger, faire du shopping et voyager sur un budget
Cheap car hire →A glass of iced black coffee (cà phê đen đá) from a street-side stall or bia hơi corner costs about 10,000–15,000 VND.
A bowl of phở or bún chả from a local shop costs 35,000–50,000 VND. Look for places packed with workers, not tourists.
A grilled meat or fish main with rice at a bia hơi or family-run eatery runs 40,000–70,000 VND.
The streets around Hang Buom, Ma May, and the night market area in the Old Quarter have the densest cheap-eat stalls. Also look for alley stalls near the West Lake edge (Nghi Tam).
VinMart+ and Hapromart are the common budget supermarkets in this area; Big C is farther out but cheaper for bulk.
The street markets of Hang Da and Dong Xuan are the cheapest for T-shirts, sandals, and basic clothing. Haggle hard.
Public bus (e.g., route 86 from Noi Bai Airport to Hoan Kiem Lake) costs 15,000–35,000 VND per trip, but for local trips the cheapest is a rented bicycle (approx 50,000 VND/day) or using GrabBike (motorbike taxi) for 10,000–30,000 VND per short ride.
1. Eat at bia hơi corners or phở stalls with plastic stools — they are half the price of sit-down restaurants. 2. Always negotiate taxi fares before getting in; use Grab app with fixed prices. 3. Buy bottled water and snacks from local tạp hóa (small shops) rather than tourist-focused minimarts.

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.
