5 star hotels in Northern Vietnam

The hotel is on the old side but for me the location and the amenities are the biggest highlight. The gym is very well equipped, the sauna is spacious and works very well, the pool is pretty nice too. Overall, a great value for money, especially if like me, you don’t mind ancient items and you assess cleanliness on a Vietnam basis and not a western one (the tv was probably the highlight, so pixelated...

The location is quite good, very close to Hoan Kiem Lake, and it's convenient to walk there, but you need to pay attention to your directions. There are also a few other lakes nearby, and if you're on a higher floor, the view is absolutely stunning. The hotel seems to be Japanese-owned or has a Japanese style. Although it's not very new and a bit old-fashioned, the cleanliness is absolutely spotless...

Staying at a good hotel is an experience that brings comfort, relaxation, and peace of mind. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the warm welcome through friendly staff, smooth check-in, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. A well-designed room with comfortable bedding, fresh linens, and thoughtful amenities makes you feel at home, allowing you to unwind after a long day. Good hotels prioritize cleanliness...

The hotel is conveniently located near Hoan Kiem Lake, making shopping and getting around easy. It's perfect for dining and strolling. The breakfast was quite good, and the room and services were all satisfactory.

This was a very nice hotel. Very nice places to eat for dinner and breakfast. Friendly people. They speak English.

The hotel's location is excellent, close to all of Hanoi's main attractions. The facilities are good, and the service is great. Most of the staff speak good English. The breakfast selection is incredibly rich. Lunch and dinner at the restaurant are also good, and the prices are reasonable.

I love this hotel so much! Very value for money and it is located perfectly 10 minutes walk away from the Central Areaso it’s quiet and it faces the summit so the views are super pretty too!

Hotel is a little older than what it looks like in photos. Location is still walkable to the busy areas. Fitness equipments are old. Breakfast was superb! Overall it was a good experience.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at KK Sapa Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. The hotel is beautifully designed, with elegant interiors and a unique layout featuring two lobbies connected to different road levels, which I found particularly impressive and distinctive...

Friendly and helpful staff especially LY she went the extra mile to communicate with the return the transport bus company about the new location . Found our misplaced hat. AND arrange pick up by bus company

amazing location amazing service amazing view!! would definitely return if i come back to sapa

We had a wonderful stay at KK Sapa Hotel from February 22, 2026, to February 25, 2026. Our room was on a high floor and offered a beautiful view. The lobby staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Hoang Thi B. Thao. She is very patient and explains how to buy train and cable car tickets to Fansipan Mountain. The breakfast was also great, with a lot of options to choose from. The hotel's location...

The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here multiple times now and think it is great. Excellent location, quite clean rooms for Vietnamese standards.

Overall, if there are any issues encountered, the hotel manager will respond quickly and take appropriate action. For example, when I mentioned that the WiFi signal was weak and unstable during check-in, the hotel manager arranged for a room change. Upon inquiry, I discovered that the room allocation and distance would affect WiFi reception. The hotel staff then suggested that for future stays, I could...

nearby is happening and convenient for business and leisure travel

Staff is helpful and facilitated a quick check in and check out. Although it is surprising that the hotel does not have any iron for clothes.

Hotel buffet spread is nice and quite a variety. Bed is comfy and hotel is clean. Hotel downstairs got eatery and brew beer restaurant with food. Overall, i am very satisfy with this hotel. The staff are friendly as well.

Revisited Novotel in December 2022. The crew is as friendly as ever, the room is well-kept and comfortable, and the pool is conveniently located on the first floor, just off the lobby. Everything about my stay was satisfying.

Hotel is good. Room was spacious. Food was bad.

A good hotel in ha Long bay. Highly recommended. Great service. Will visit again.

The location near to SunWorld, The food is good, We got room upgraded to bay view but the sound from the beach club is toooo loud.

I would like to commend Dat from the reception desk for his helpfulness in finding a lost item which is very important to me. I found it after and it was with me and it dropped in my bag. Dat has been very patient and I would like to thank him for his service! I would definitely come back again to stay next time.

Slightly noisy due to some renovation work in progress Friendly staff and nice breakfast

Big and clean room. Very comfy bed and nice bathroom. They have very high frequency shuttle fetchingguests to the main town area. If you are travelling by train and arrive early, you can use their shower facilities at their pool bathroom for free! Some hotels charge you extra and I definitely would recommend anyone to opt for this hotel without hesitation.

If staying in Sa Pa, this hotel’s location is great. Very near to the bus station if you’re taking a coach in from Hanoi airport. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle to the town centre which is a plus point. Breakfast was great, and the staff were extremely helpful and helpful.

The hospitality were excellent, we enjoyed the food and the environment. The staff were friendly and helpful

Good service Good place Good view First time visit SAPA 🇻🇳🩷

From the moment I arrived, this hotel exceeded all my expectations from luxurious rooms, elegant décor, plush bedding, and calming tones made for a perfect retreat. The room was spotlessly clean and the view from the balcony was speechless. Well-equipped wellness amenities,  a serene spa with hot and cold jacuzzi, a huge steam room, sauna and a refreshing heated swimming pool over looking the mountains...

Nice & cozy hotel. The room was clean, spacious & overseeing the mountain. The breakfast is good

This hotel is awesome! Our room was super clean, and the amenities were top-notch. Linh from Rumba Reato was especially great; she even helped us use our points for food. Some staff weren't as friendly, though, and the Rumba manager was pretty rude at breakfast, making us feel unwelcome even though it was only 8 AM. Still, overall, it's a great hotel, and I hope the manager learns to be more sensitive...

Excellent service and very clean.

Great hotel. the staffs were attentive and friendly. The pool was decent. Had a great stay

The hotel is clean and beautiful

This is a hotel that I really like and frequently use. I often stay in the suite rooms here. If you do not have your own motorbike or car to drive, it might be difficult to stay at this hotel because there are not many places to go or convenience facilities nearby. However, the staff are always friendly and everything is clean. The breakfast is also good. Overall, I am satisfied with almost everything...

A colleague recommended this hotel, and it didn't disappoint. The room was spacious and very clean. There's a restaurant in the lobby on the ground floor. At around 500 [currency, e.g., RMB/local currency] per night, it offers excellent value for money. I stayed for two nights and had a great experience. It's also very convenient for taxis.

Always very good to stay Apricot Hotel just beside Hoa Kiem lake. It is very convenient to approach main street for shopping and sight seeing.

Beautiful hotel, lovely service and fantastic location. Right in front of turtle lake in the city centre in the Old Quarters. Rooms is cosy, well equipped but may not replenish certain toiletries probably for ESG purpose but upon request staff happily provides. Will stay again.

This hotel provide good services, location is good and the cleanliness is great

Location is prime, staff services are top notched, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay

Very attentive. Fast and efficient staff. It was my mom’s birthday and they went above and beyond to make the day special.  The staff are all friendly . When we needed a shower chair for our senior citizen mother, within minutes it came up to our room.  I felt that this small request made us feel extemely special to them.  The door staff are so attentive and chatty. Its a good feel for making us so...

The hotel just opposite the lake and walking distance to many attractions

All amenities were top notch, we especially enjoyed the pool and rooftop bar when it was sunny

Conveniently-located hotel near the Hoan Kiem lake. The property has wider entrance but the hallways and elevators are very narrow like other thin and slim boutique cheaper hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter. The room is also small and bathroom shower space is even much smaller than you expect for the hotel price, I had to reach out my hand into really narrow corner enclave to grab the shower nozzle. If you...

Pretty good. The hotel's location is excellent, with a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of Hoan Kiem Lake. There's also a pool on the roof, and the food is quite good too.

Very good hotel located in the heart of the old quarter makes local bars, restaurants, shops all easily accessible by short walk. Excellent location close to the beautiful Ho Hoan Kiem lake which is idyllic and touristy. The breakfast at the hotel is very good. Omlette station, desserts and excellent coffee ☕️. We found all of the breakfast staff extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to...

The room was very clean, and the hygiene was good, but the Wi-Fi signal disappeared as soon as the door closed! The front desk service was very enthusiastic! The breakfast was rich! It's very lively outside!

The room isn't huge, but it's clean enough. Soundproofing is so-so. The location is pretty good though, right in the old town's shopping area. The 'iceberg' is actually a lake, which is quite convenient.

Located in the heart of Hanoi, across from Hermes and a few steps away from Hanoi stock exchange and Hanoi opera house. It is right next to the main area and great to walk around the neighbourhood. The breakfast was good and the banh mi was delicious.

The room was a bit small, and the facilities were quite old-fashioned, but the hotel's location was excellent.

Had a great stay at Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi – MGallery Collection. The location is perfect, right in the center, so it’s easy to walk to major attractions. The food was excellent, and there are plenty of very good restaurants nearby. One thing to note: the surrounding area feels quite touristy — mostly hotels and shops, not much of the local neighborhood vibe. It can feel a bit soulless if you’re...

strategically located. nice room . will stay again when back in Hanoi.

Excellent location. Rooms are nice but should be renovated within the next 2 years.

Very bad experience with the hotel. The room has broken air-conditioning, we got transferred to another room, also with no air-conditioning, and in worse condition than the first. The bathroom and the bed was partitioned by a curtain?! After endless complaints midnight, we were told they can't do anything, nor give us a refund if we moved out, as the hotel manager has left for the day, and no one in...

The hotel is value for money, room is spacious, amenities are available. Location is fine with food options within walking distance. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful.

Cleanliness, Amenities were as per display at the time of booking. Room Upkeep and service was excellent.

This business hotel offers incredible value for money. The room was clean, tidy, and free of any strange odors, and the bed was so soft I slept soundly. The hot water and air conditioning worked perfectly, and the soundproofing was surprisingly good. The front desk staff were friendly and check-in was quick and efficient. The location is super convenient for getting around and dining out. For just...

The king-size bed was made by pushing two twin beds together. The value for money was just okay. It was barely acceptable for a business trip.

Grand Vista Hotel: Great spacious room and clean. Helpful staff and good location for Ba Dinh district and HCM mausoleum area. Would stay here again.

Location and price is good. Service is also up to standard. I will return and recommend to anyone who wants a good local brand hotel.

Best location. Hospitality hotel’s 👍

I stayed at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi Centrefor a two nights and absolutely loved the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were super welcoming — they greeted me with a lovely welcome tea, which felt so refreshing after a long flight. 🌸 The room was clean, modern, and cozy, with all the little details that make you feel comfortable. The location is also perfect — right in the city centre,...

the room is very clean ,with a big screen smart TV. the location is not far from the bustling oldtown area, about 1.5 km to Ho hoan kiem lake . easy to catch a Grab taxi. breakfast is varied. the hotel provides chocalate hour in the late afternoon for guests ( I cannot remember the exact time so please ask the hotel staff for more infos) the bar and restaurant's menus are affordable. the staffs are...

nice clean room with a decent view of Hanoi city. best location - right in the heart of downtown Hanoi with many coffee shops and restaurants nearby. peaceful neighborhood with little noise. the interior design is elegant and utterly lovely. i enjoyed my stay (and the chocolate fountain) at Movenpick Centre Hanoi.

Hotel was very nice, easy walking distance to the old quarter and the breakfast was good. The hotel was the reason why we stayed here and it was great, not many hotels in Hanoi have a pool that size so close to the old town

Good hotel. Spacious and clean. Bed mattress a bit too soft for me. Walking within 500m can get some great food. Further hot spot easy to access too. Hotel hospitality is very good. Free chocolate tasting daily!

It was very quiet here during our stay but the staff were friendly even though there wasn’t much to do here

Pros: Professional staff, large and clean room with all expected necessities, excellent view to the bay Cons: TV not up to a 5-star hotel, quite noisy until midnight due to the rave music from the beach.

The hotel is conveniently located. The lobby is large and beautiful. The staff is friendly, enthusiastic and very helpful. This is our next choice for our vacation. thank tôi very much .

Good peaceful casino, calm environment and good dealers One of the online casinos in Vietnam where roulette is played physically

Me & my wife feel Fantastic.The most attractive point is Beach view and we are satisfied with room maintenance and service, Room is very clean and all items are very well. Thanks Royal halong hotel management team. We will come again. Thanks once again

My experience at Royal Hạ Long was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the warm welcome from the Receptions made me feel at home. The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel was remarkable, from the elegant decor to the spotless cleanliness. The room was not only comfortable but also thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was incredibly cozy,...

The hotel has a great location. The air conditioning is very strong and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is quite plentiful. Very satisfied. Recommended.

The breakfast buffet is delicious! Very close to the sea! The sea view is beautiful! Excellent service! There is a lot of food downstairs!

We liked everything very much! We are happy with everything: service, room, breakfast, service, location. It is very pleasant to be here, the staff is very polite, friendly, speaks English well, helps when needed. We went to the beautiful beach, it is not far, and went to the pool The breakfasts are very tasty, varied. Very good. From our room there was a magnificent view of the bay.

The price/performance ratio is very high, the scenery is very good, it is very good, it is still worth staying, the food on the 6th floor is very rich, the rice noodles are also good, it is worth recommending, the price/performance ratio is very high, good reviews.

Good location nearby the beach, the room was clean and comfortable bed. Good breakfast

A very classy hotel with amazing views of Ha Long Bay on the upper levels. We were stunned when first opening our rooms curtains to see the Bay and its beauty right in front of us. The curved viewing windows in the room are amazing, allowing us the view 180⁰. What an amazing view to wake up to each morning...we'll never forget. The staff very professional, all spoke fluent english, and treated us...

Excellent place to stay in Hanoi. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The staff even carried our bags down the road for the Haling bay bus pick up point.The rooftop pool was great and the location meant you could pop back for a swim midday. The breakfast was really tasty and with lots of options. Highly recommend.

Excellent service, convenient for sightseeing, and a great breakfast spread. Very satisfied.

Great hotel, staff where amazing and always helpful. Location was good for getting around, lovey restaurants near by. Our stay was perfect. Rooms big, clean and comfy pillows and bed.

The hotel is located right in the heart of the old quarters. It provides excellent breakfast man by a crew is very well trained and friendly staff. One particular staff, Ms phem is especially engaging as she talks to each customer, getting to know them as they come in for breakfast. She can converse in English very well too. I like their facilities such as the infinity pool, jacuzzi etc. The only...

This hotel is truly excellent. First, the front desk service was incredibly detailed and professional, offering warm tea and snacks during check-in. Second, the room was clean and tidy, and the view from the balcony was lovely. The 10th-floor pool and bar offer stunning night views. Furthermore, the hotel's location is perfect; it's a very short walk to Hoan Kiem Lake and the Cathedral. There are also...

Every time I come to Hanoi I book this hotel. The structure is very nice and clean and the rooms are very comfortable. Although it is located in the frenetic and noisy center of the old city, it is very quiet.

Stayed 2 nights and the view from the hotel is super with the view of paddy field. The hotel cater more tour group and hence restaurant will be crowded before 7.30am. Need to walk uphill to reach the hotel but quiet and cosy vs staying near to the town.

Great and cozy hotel. Nice to stay. Great staff, service. Nice breakfast. Recommend to stay

The room service was excellent and very prompt. The room was spacious, the hot water in the bathroom was really hot, and the breakfast was quite good.

I often stay here. Clean - enthusiastic staff - beautiful view - full breakfast - spacious hotel room

Overall I am satisfied during my stay. Buffet breakfast is nice. Hotel staff is friendly.

Overall I am satisfied during my stay. Buffet breakfast is nice. Hotel staff is friendly.

Taxi is around 5-10min from city Centre. U have to take a buggy to your unit but the team is responsive and quick to come. Breakfast is decent. Love the room.

I had an amazing experience at Sapa Jade Hill Resort & Spa, and what really stood out was their thoughtful service. They found out it was my birthday during my stay, and they went the extra mile by surprising me with a birthday cake and a lovely little celebration. It was such a warm and personal gesture, and I was especially impressed by the staff, like Sỹ, the buggy driver, who was very handy and...

My stay at Sapa Jade Hill Resort was unforgettable. The resort blends perfectly with nature, offering stunning views of the valleys and rice terraces. The villas are beautifully designed with a cozy, rustic charm, yet still provide modern comforts. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure I felt welcome. The only small downside was that the restroom in my room had a little smell...

Good hotel to relax for family

If you like to immerse in nature, this is the resort you should booked! This resort is up in the mountains with fresh air. We stayed in a bungalow which has a nice balcony to chill. But weather was too cold to chill outside so is a pity. There’s warm blanket already lay on the bed so you won’t freeze to death during winter time😄. Breakfast was good too. There’s free shuttle to bring you to town & back...

This place is a fanatic, but make sure you book the panorama view rooms, other rooms are not so good

Great location, though the room was a bit small. However, the service was excellent, and they paid attention to every detail.

Ambiance: Beautiful Service: Excellent Cleanliness: Spotless

Amazing breakfast, decent, good service

Excellent stay at Capella Hanoi! The service was impeccable, the room was spacious and beautifully designed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Hanoi! from openclaw

Excellent service, the only downside was that breakfast was a bit bland.

It was a good memory. Capella Hanoi is a very good hotel. My daughter and I spent the holiday in Capella for the new year. Mr. Trung who is the manager of culturist team is very kind and professional. Capella must be proud of Mr. Trung and his whole team. Zong

My wife and I stayed in the Elegance room for 2 nights. We were surprised to find that we had nearly a full quarter of the stern of the cruise boat on the first floor deck. The view from our room was exceptional to say the least. We also had a massage chair and a large jet bath with a huge bay view window located in a large bathroom. Cons tho, breakfast is at 6:30am everyday and set meals at night...

It was a great experience for us!

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible experience aboard Mon Cheri! Our room had stunning views, the staff were unbelievably friendly and attentive, and every activity was perfectly organized from start to finish. We loved every second of our two-day cruise and genuinely wished it didn’t have to end. A special shoutout to Ben, who went above and beyond to oversee our dining experience and make...

Well planned, well executed, excellent communication throughout and plenty of delicious foods, attentive service and care for vegetarians. Highly recommend.

Fabulous experience. Special treatment. Perfect size with so much to offer. Thank you Cherie!!!

Wonderful cruise with a wonderful staff who made us feel very welcomed. The food was excellent, the pool was great, room had a high-end hotel quality level, good food, happy hours and much more. Please make sure to book the 3 days and 2 nights as this will make the most of your trip. The 2 night and 1 is too short to enjoy the trip fully. Special thanks to our host Tam and waiter Jimmy, they are true...

Sunny made our breakfast dining experience for 6 days so enjoyable. She warmly greeted us and assisted to any request we had from the buffet. Her warm personality is infectious.

Very nice hotel! Location is excelent in walking distance or very short ride (Grab/motorbike) from most of the mainly attractions. Staff is very helpful, you can pay in USD and you can book a lot of tours from the reception. Rooms are clean, a bit used but very comfortable. I recommend the hotel if you want to enjoy a safe/ relaxing vacation 💯

Wonderful stay, great facilities, friendly staff. In the room you’ll find a list of recommendations from museums to restaurants, they can book private taxis for you and you can pay on card for this service at the hotel for a small charge. On the roof top you can find the roof top bar, good views, a small pool and happy hour, very cosy with an exclusive boutique feel. The staff always say hello and...

Great hotel for access to Hanoi. Friendly staff and room very comfortable I would recommend staying here when in Hanoi.

We had a fantastic stay in Hanoi and the hotel was ok but not a 5 ⭐️ hotel at all. The staff was really nice , friendly and helpful but the first room we got allocated to was run down, outdated and we didn’t even fit in the shower/bathtub so that we ask for a room with a proper shower. The staff showed understanding and sorted it out immediately. Sunny from the restaurant was very nice and attentive...

Everything was just ok. Not amazing and not horrible. We were greeted when we first arrived and the tea that they gave us was really wonderful. We visited the spa while we were there and had a good experience. Our room was clean... We just didn't like the fact that it was two twin beds shoved together. It caused the big crack in the middle and that wasn't very desirable. You can hear conversations...

The room was good quality. The stay was trouble-free - everything was great. The only thing is, it's not always possible to contact the hotel owner

The location is wrong, the facade doesn't match the description, and communication with the front desk staff is extremely difficult. Asking people nearby doesn't lead anywhere. The balcony door can't be locked, and it's practically connected to the adjacent balcony. The washing machine is shared by the rooftop staff. The room cleanliness is acceptable.

The biggest plus is that it's clean and smells nice. It's quiet and private (because there's no reception or anyone watching). The price is reasonable. The downsides: The water wasn't hot enough for a shower in the evening. Also, if you rent a car or check out and want to store your luggage, it has to be left outside, which doesn't feel very secure, though the security seems to be okay.
