Golden Lotus Boutique Hotel

“Great location”

Great location in Hanoi and the option to leave luggage while going on short trips. Comfy bed and nice shower. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. We only had the breakfast in the restaurant which was on the basement level.

“Decent 3-start hotel in great location.”

I give it a rating of 4 because it is an affordable 3-start hotel and because it is in a great location. On the basis of the hotel itself, I would objectively give a lower score.

I give it a rating of 4 because it is an affordable 3-start hotel and because it is in a great location. On the basis of the hotel itself, I would objectively give a lower score. On the plus side, the staff were very friendly and efficient and the wifi worked beautifully. The bed was also comfortable. However, on the less positive side, the rooms pictured by the management are not the norm: I stayed in a tiny room that had barely enough room around the bed. The bed was confortable, but the room overall was beginning to look tired. I had to change rooms because the first one's bathroom was barely funcitonal, with a loose bathtub and guaranteed flooding when I had a shower. There is a safe in the closet, but it's loose and anyone can walk away with it... Both rooms I stayed in had windows to a wall a few inches away. The breakfast was OK, but llimited. I ordered laundry, requesting that my shirts be delivered folded, but they came on hangers. I find it curious that so many hotels have jumped onto the "boutique" bandwagon, and in the process have lost the meaning of what a boutique hotel is supposed to convey (besides size). However, the overall experience was pleasant and expedient, but hardly memorable.
