La propriété — Chios Hotel
The Chios Hotel is a no-fuss 3-star in Hanoi's Old Quarter, with compact but clean rooms, a small rooftop pool, and a location that puts you steps from Hoan Kiem Lake and Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square. The lobby is modest, tiled and efficient—staff are practical and speak decent English. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want to be in the thick of the action without paying for frills; think of it as a functional base for a city break, not a destination in itself.
Chroniques de Hanoi
Hanoi was founded as the capital of the Đại Việt kingdom in 1010 under Lý Thái Tổ, who moved the court to the citadel of Thăng Long. The city's architecture layers ancient Buddhist temples, French colonial villas and brutalist Soviet-era blocks, reflecting its turbulent history of Chinese rule, French occupation and Cold War division. Hanoi's contemporary identity centres on its dynamic street life, pho stalls and motorbike-choked alleys, with a growing cafe and arts scene that draws digital nomads and creatives.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Hanoi →Meilleurs mois
March–April and October–November offer the most pleasant weather: warm, low humidity and little rain, with manageable tourist numbers.
Peak / Festival surge
July–August is peak for domestic and international tourism, driven by summer holidays and festivals like the mid-year Vu Lan festival. Hotel prices typically rise 20–30% above shoulder rates, advance booking is essential.
La saison des épaules
May and September are shoulder months: temperatures are higher but not extreme, crowds thin out, and you can often find discounts of 15–25% off peak rates.
Météo & Emballage
Hanoi in early July is hot (30–35°C) and humid, with frequent heavy downpours. Pack light, breathable cotton or linen clothing, a compact umbrella or waterproof shell, and sturdy sandals for wet streets.
Briefing de la ville — Hanoi
- The Hanoi Metro's second line (Line 3, Nhổn–Hanoi Station) is partially open; the elevated section runs from Nhổn to Cầu Giấy, but the underground link to the Old Quarter is still under construction, so expect roadworks and partial closures on Kim Mã and Ngọc Khánh streets.
- The old Long Biên Market has been closed since mid-2024 for renovation; the new temporary market operates nearby on Trần Nhật Duật—stock up on produce but note the reduced variety of souvenirs.
- A new pedestrian zone on weekends now covers more streets around Hoan Kiem Lake, including Hàng Đào and parts of the Old Quarter, expanding the walking area but also bringing street food crowds and occasional busking noise until late.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chios Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3-5 facing the rear courtyard. These floors avoid street-level noise and the top-floor humidity common in older Hanoi buildings. The courtyard side is quieter than the street side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (street noise, less privacy) and the top floor (possible heat and lift machinery hum). Rooms facing the main road will pick up motorbike and truck noise from early morning.
Best views
Rooms at the front on upper floors overlook Hanoi's street life (motorbikes, pavement cafes). Less view from rear rooms but they are calmer. No notable landmark views unless specified.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5 are the quietest—above street level but below any rooftop plant or lift motor vibrations.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from motorbikes and occasional buses is constant on the front side. Staff and guest footfall in the lobby echoes into the ground floor rooms. Air-con units on the roof can hum on the top floor at night.
Insider tips
Ask at check-in for a room on floor 4 away from the lift—quieter and still cool. If street noise bothers you, bring earplugs; the hotel may provide a fan instead of aircon if requested.
- 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 Hanoi
💡 Start at Hang Bac (Silver Street) around 9am – the silver workshops are fascinating. Avoid motorbikes by sticking to the narrowest alleys. Street food here costs 20-40,000 VND a dish.
💡 Walk the lake at 6am to see locals doing tai chi and badminton. Sunset is crowded with photographers but worth it for the light on Turtle Tower.
💡 Book the 5:15pm show to avoid tourist crowds. Sit in row C or D – row A gets wet from splashes. Arrive 20 minutes early to see the puppets being prepared backstage (ask nicely).
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid tour groups. The back garden has a banyan tree and koi pond that most people miss.
💡 The outdoor section is the highlight – allow 2 hours. Go on a Saturday when ethnic minority guides sometimes give free tours. Taxi from the centre costs 50,000 VND.
