Quote: My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this hotel in spite of some flaws, particularly because of its reasonable price and location.

Without the steep price and grandeur of usual hotel suites, theirs had the comfort of a king-sized bed, a small seating area, and a spacious bathroom. The big bathtub would have been great, but the tank capacity of the water heater in our bathroom was not enough to fill the tub. And in January, hot water is vital in taking a bath in Hanoi.

A couple of times we ordered some Vietnamese specialties from their menu through room service, and they were good. The complimentary breakfast spread, though, should have had more variety. They offered the same limited local dishes every morning. But it is easy to go out into the streets of Hanoi, which are lined with restaurants offering delicious coffee, breads, and French cuisine.

Golden Key's location lets you enjoy easy access (particularly with the bikes and taxis for hire flooding the streets) to the different sights and eating and shopping attractions of Hanoi. Also, since there is a short driveway from the street itself to the hotel entrance, the noise of Quan Su Street was non-existent in our room.

For its price and location, Golden Key Hotel is highly recommended for budget-conscious travellers.
