Hanoi Media Hotel & Spa

Hanoi Media Hotel & Spa is a three-star hotel in the Old Quarter, surrounded by the busy lanes, markets and eateries that give central Hanoi its distinctive character. It suits budget-conscious travellers, couples and solo visitors who want a handy base on foot from the lake and many of the best-known sights.

Guests highlight great service and rooftop views at a low price, which sets the tone for a friendly, good-value stay. A spa is on hand for a relaxing treatment after a day of sightseeing, and the rooms are simple and practical. It is not a luxury address, but the helpful staff and central position make up for that.

Old Quarter streets are narrow and lively, with motorbike traffic and street noise, so ask for a quieter room if you sleep lightly. Taxis and ride-hailing can reach the area, and walking is the best way to explore. Reserve ahead for spring and autumn, and confirm what is included in your rate, such as breakfast or airport transfers.
