Bespoke Trendy Hotel Hanoi

Location & getting around

490m to St Joseph’s Cathedral, 740m to Hoan Kiem Lake

The hotel is on Nguyen Quang Bich street, on the western edge of the Old Quarter rather than inside it — one block back from the busy grid.

The distances: St Joseph’s Cathedral 490m, the night market 620m, Hoan Kiem Lake 740m, a convenience store 340m, an ATM 440m, a dental clinic 420m. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is 1.3km and Tran Quoc Pagoda 1.8km, which is close by the standards of this list. Agoda rates the location 9.3.

A Grab can stop at the door

The practical advantage of being one street back is vehicle access. Reviews describe Grab drivers pulling up directly in front, and the street being quiet because the crowds are a block away. Hotels deeper in the Old Quarter often mean walking the last stretch with your bags.

Noi Bai International Airport is 21.2km straight-line away, about 39 minutes by car, and Hanoi railway station is 990m, about 14 minutes — close enough to walk if you are travelling light. One review puts Train Street under five minutes on foot.

Worth knowing: despite a convenience store 340m away, one guest writes that there is no shop nearby. In this street pattern, 340m does not feel like 340m.

Rooms & occupancy

From a 22 sqm Trendy Deluxe to a 45 sqm Connecting Room

Built in 2016 and refurbished in 2022. 50 rooms over 11 floors, rated four-star. Agoda’s own description lists the former name as Hanoi La Siesta Hotel Trendy — if you searched that name and landed elsewhere, this is the same property.

Sizes are given by type. Trendy Deluxe and Cozy Deluxe are 22 sqm, Trendy Suite 25 sqm, Premium Suite and Family Suite (non-smoking) 35 sqm, and the Connecting Room 45 sqm. With a 22 sqm standard, extra space comes from moving up a category rather than from the base room. Children aged 3–5 stay free.

Check-in is 2:00 PM, check-out noon. Reviews mention warm receptions on late-night and pre-dawn arrivals, and luggage storage plus a shower after check-out.

The honest counterweight: thin walls. Guests report hearing the corridor and the room next door, in one case waking several times. Others mention a room with no window and a low ceiling, and air conditioning and hairdryers that feel a generation old. Ask for a quiet floor at booking.

Facilities

The eighth-floor restaurant and cooked-to-order breakfast

Breakfast is the most discussed thing here. Reviews describe ordering eggs and noodles individually with a buffet alongside, and pho and eggs benedict get named repeatedly. It is not a large spread, but the cooking draws praise, and 63% of comments about breakfast — and about the coffee — are positive. The restaurant is on the eighth floor according to one review.

Spa, sauna and a complimentary nail service

There is a spa, massage, sauna and steam room, a library, a bar and a gift shop. Two separate reviews mention a complimentary nail service for guests, and one notes discounted rates at the adjacent spa depending on the time of day. Perks like these change, so confirm them when booking.

Service ratings are unusually consistent: 9.4 from solo travellers and 9.6 from domestic guests. Reviews mention a Korean-speaking staff member and a packed breakfast box prepared for an early tour departure.

Compared & alternatives

To be further inside the Old Quarter, La Siesta Classic Ma May is 440m from the night market — but its lane is too narrow for a car to reach the door. The two properties are near-opposites on that point.

To be closest to the lake, Apricot Hotel Hanoi is 140m away; for more people or a kitchen, Somerset Grand Hanoi runs 78–128 sqm.

The full district comparison is in the Hoan Kiem Lake area guide, and if the airport run matters more, the Ba Dinh area guide collects the 29–35 minute options. Start at where to stay in Hanoi if the area is still open.

Bottom line

If you want the Old Quarter on foot but not under your window, this address does exactly that: 490m to the cathedral, 620m to the night market, 740m to the lake, on a street quiet enough that a car can wait outside. Breakfast and front-desk service are what lift the scores.

The walls are the trade, and several reviews say so plainly, with 22 sqm as the standard room. Before booking, confirm your floor and whether the room has a window, a quiet-room request, and which type fits your group. Rates vary by date and occupancy.
