La proprietà — Riverside
The Riverside is a three-star hotel along the Red River, about a 15-minute drive from Hoan Kiem Lake. The lobby feels functional rather than flashy: polished tiles, a small seating area, and a front desk that gets you checked in quickly. It suits travellers who want a quiet, riverside base for sleeping and showering, not a social hub. The USP is the price — cheaper than most Old Quarter options — and the handful of rooms with river views from the upper floors.
Cronache di Hà Nội
Hanoi was founded as the capital of Đại Việt in 1010 under Lý Thái Tổ, who moved the court from Hoa Lu to Thăng Long (now Hanoi). The city’s architecture is a layered palimpsest of wooden pagodas, French colonial villas, and brutalist Soviet blocks. The Old Quarter’s 36 streets — each once named for a guild — still operate as a dense trading labyrinth. Today, Hanoi is the cultural and political heart of Vietnam, balancing rapid modernisation with a fierce pride in its thousand-year-old heritage.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Hà Nội →I migliori mesi
October and November: cool, dry temperatures (18-28°C), low humidity, and clear skies. March and April are also fine, with blossom in the streets.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak summer monsoon: daily downpours, 30-35°C, and sauna-like humidity. Tet (late January/February) is the other peak for domestic tourism; hotel prices in July can hit 1.5x normal due to European holiday demand.
Stagione di spalla
May and September: still warm, but fewer crowds than July. Expect 25-30% discounts on room rates and lighter traffic around the lake.
Meteo e imballaggio
Hanoi has a tropical monsoon climate with a distinct wet season from May to October — expect a sudden, drenching rain most afternoons. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or compact umbrella, and quick-dry walking shoes; leave the suede behind.
Briefing della città — Hà Nội
- The extended Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line (Line 3) opened test runs in 2025, and by July 2026 the section from Cầu Giấy to the Old Quarter may be operational — check for station closures near the hotel.
- A new pedestrian zone on Dinh Le Street, expanded in late 2025, now links the Old Quarter weekend night market to the Red River dyke path.
- July 2026 falls during the tail end of the monsoon: expect periodic street flooding in the Old Quarter, especially on Hang Bong and Hang Dao.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Riverside, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6, facing the inner courtyard or the quieter side street off the main road. These floors avoid street-level noise and are high enough to reduce lift lobby footfall.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (street noise and possible traffic fumes) and any directly above the lift shaft or stairwell — typically rooms adjacent to the central lift core. Also avoid rooms facing the main street if the hotel is on a busy Hanoi thoroughfare.
Best views
Rooms facing the courtyard or a side street give a view of local life without the constant roar of Hanoi's traffic. River views are unlikely unless the hotel is directly on the Red River, so don't expect a panorama.
Quietest floors
4, 5, 6
🔊 Noise notes
This address is on a main road in Hanoi's Old Quarter or Ba Đình area, so expect motorbike and car traffic from early morning (6am) until late evening (10-11pm). Street-level rooms will get horn honking and engine noise. Lift doors opening and closing may echo on 2nd-3rd floors.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the courtyard side when booking — it's the best way to reduce street noise. Check-in early (by 2pm) to increase chances of a higher floor; late arrivals often get stuck on lower, noisier levels.
- 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

Principali attrazioni a 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.
