La propriété — Love Vietnam
Love Vietnam is a modest 3-star hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter, steps from Hoan Kiem Lake. The lobby feels like a functional pit stop — tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a few armchairs — rather than a design statement. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base for sightseeing, not a resort experience. Think reliable rather than charming: you're paying for location and air conditioning, not atmosphere.
Chroniques de Hanoi
Hanoi was founded as Thang Long in 1010 under Emperor Ly Thai To, who moved the capital here from Hoa Lu. The city's layout reflects its layered history: the French colonial quarter with tree-lined boulevards and villas, the Old Quarter's ancient maze of 36 merchant streets dating to the 15th century, and Soviet-era blocks. Contemporary Hanoi balances rapid modernisation with deep Confucian and communist traditions, visible in its lakeside pagodas, bustling street food stalls, and state-run museums. Today it's Vietnam's political and cultural heart, known for its distinctive dialect and fierce independent spirit.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Hanoi →Meilleurs mois
October and November offer cool, dry weather (22-28°C) and clear skies, ideal for walking tours. December stays pleasant but gets chillier and slightly busier ahead of Tet preparations.
Peak / Festival surge
July is peak summer heat (30-40°C with high humidity) and the start of the rainy season. It's also peak tourism for Vietnam in general, so hotel prices can rise 30-50%. Tet (late January/February) is the biggest festival, driving domestic travel and closing many shops.
La saison des épaules
March and April are excellent shoulder months: warm but not oppressive (25-33°C), fewer crowds than July-September, and hotel rates drop 20-30% from summer highs. April's humidity starts climbing but is still manageable.
Météo & Emballage
Hanoi's July is a steam bath — expect monsoon downpours that flood streets within minutes. Pack a lightweight rain jacket, waterproof sandals, and quick-dry clothes; avoid denim or heavy cotton that stay wet.
Briefing de la ville — Hanoi
- Hanoi's metro line 2A (Cat Linh-Ha Dong) now runs consistently, but the planned extension to the Old Quarter remains delayed; check Google Maps for bus updates rather than relying on metro.
- Around Hoan Kiem Lake, new pedestrianised areas (especially on weekends) have expanded, but construction near St. Joseph's Cathedral may create detours — allow extra time for walking.
- July's heat and rain mean many street food stalls close early or shift indoors; the best bet for safe street food in this weather is the Dong Xuan Market food court.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Love Vietnam, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor at the back of the building (facing away from the street). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still within easy stair access if the lift is busy. The rear orientation cuts out most traffic hum from Hanoi's narrow streets.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the 1st floor (street-level noise and pedestrian chatter, plus any lingering cooking smells from the small lobby kitchen) and rooms directly above the lift shaft on any floor – you'll hear the motor and cable rumble from early morning.
Best views
A rear-facing room will give you a view over the rooftops and a small courtyard – typical Hanoi urban charm with laundry lines and potted plants. Front-facing rooms just see the narrow street and parked scooters; nothing worth a premium.
Quietest floors
Floors 4, 5, and 6 (the top floor) are generally quietest, especially if facing the inner courtyard or side alley rather than the main road.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a busy Hanoi through-street in the Old Quarter or nearby – expect motorbike horns, shouting, and general street life from around 6am until midnight. The lift is a basic model, so it rumbles noticeably as it passes each floor. There's no bar or live music, but the breakfast area on the ground floor adds clatter and cooking smells from 6.30 to 9.30am.
Insider tips
1. The lift is small and slow – if you're on floors 1–3, use the stairs; it's quicker and more reliable. 2. Ask at check-in if they can put you on floor 5, rear side – the staff are used to this request and often oblige if available. No parking on site; park your scooter on the street (look for the paid parking attendant nearby, about 10,000 VND per night).
- 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

Get a travel card →Vietnamese Dong, VND
Change money at gold shops or banks in the Old Quarter for the best rates; avoid airport and hotel exchange counters as they offer poor rates.

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.
