The Chi Novel Hostel in Hanoi

The soundproofing was a bit poor, and the water pressure was inconsistent, alternating between very hot and cold, almost scalding me. However, the breakfast and room were great, the staff were all very friendly, and the location was excellent.

It's an older hotel, but well-maintained, and the price is quite reasonable. Plus, it's very close to the cathedral.

in the downtown area, easy to access, nice restaurants near by.

Should install holder at bathtub area for safety
The curtain between bathtub and room got stain
Breakfast and location is great

Stayed at The Chi Boutique Hotel – Hanoi and loved it. Breakfast is always great every day—honestly something to look forward to each morning. The portions are filling enough to count as brunch, so you end up saving on meals.

Staff are super courteous, attentive, and always ready to help with any questions or needs. Overall a very comfortable stay. Would happily come back again! 💙

Could watch the Fireworks show from the roof. Nice breakfast. Very good location. Very nice staff. Good experience.

A nice hotel. Service and staff are perfect. Location is good near Church. Good to them

Lovely boutique hotel and first impressions were great with really friendly bellboys, concierge staffs, service staffs. They were all really quick on their feet and does their best to cater to our needs.

But there were definitely down sides as well but probably just minor matters like for example, my partner and i were expecting a separate shower area and not needing to stand on the bathtub to shower and the sound proofing was definitely not great, you can hear people laughing and guest slamming, knocking their doors entering and exiting in the middle of the night or early in the morning. Radios can be heard clearly, coming from outside the hotel.

But all in all, it was still a really great experience staying here and it is situated at a very popular and central location within the old quarters, next to the church and like about 5mins walk to the lake.

They too have a roof top bar with only drinks (would be nice, if they have some finger food as well) and a lovely view, can see myself seated outside when it is chilly.

Definitely would still come back here to stay again and recommend others who wants to explore the old quarters to stay here as well!

Quite mind blown by the room size & cleanliness, a pity I only had a night to stay in. Nearby there a famous cathedral too & many nice foods around.
