Maison d'Orient Hotel in Hanoi

Very old room and hotel, poor breakfasts, the room had a window to the wall. Pros: excellent location for tourists, friendly staff, daily cleaning service. Cons: very old room, musty smell, which is not ventilated. If you open the window, there will be mosquitoes. The plumbing and sink are stained with old stains. I wouldn't recommend it.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Provided lots of detailed help on booking tours and other recommendations .

It's close to the church, so it was nice to be able to do a lot of sightseeing from here.
The long-haired female staff member was very kind and helped me in many ways, even though I don't speak much English or Vietnamese.

However, the room was not vacuumed and was full of dust, perhaps because it was OK to wear shoes.
(Maybe there is no culture of vacuuming in Vietnam?)
The bathtub also has grime on it, so it is not recommended to use the bathtub.
The cups were also dirty, and there were dead insects in the water heater.
(Vietnamese restaurants also have a lot of garbage on the floor, so maybe it's just a national trait that doesn't bother them?)

Also, I drank a bottle of beer in the room, but when I paid for it, I felt like I was blown away a little bit.

The female staff told me to pay 25,000 VND to the male staff later, but at the time of payment I was charged 35,000 VND (the room slip also said 25,000 VND).

Since there is no culture of tipping, it was inevitable to make money, and the amount was not that big, so I paid...

The female staff were very nice,
It was like, oh my god.

If this were the case, it would be a much cheaper guesthouse.
I felt like another foreign hotel would have been better💦

It was a hotel where I was able to experience Vietnam, both good and bad!
