The staff are very friendly and sociable, and very informative on arrival giving you a map and tip sheet for the local area. The interior design is colourful and beautifully decorated. I would recommend to any first timers to Hanoi and I would return definitely. The breakfast is plentiful with many choices with friendly staff to help serve you, excellent hospitality!

I cannot say enough good things about the hotel and staff! The roo m was nice with a big bed and all the conveniences. Nice shower, wifi, fridge and coffee maker. Plus staff cleaned the room to perfection. Breakfast was excellent! Had many options to choose from. Hot, cold,fruit plus a made to order menu. The breakfast crew was very nice and the top floor gives you a great view of hanoi. The staff offered help whenever they could. The front door was opened for me when i entered, i had laundry done quickly, and they always said hello and asked me if i was having a good time in Hanoi. I would recommend this hotel for great service at a great price. Its a couple blocks from Hoen Lake and the water puppet theater. It in the heart of the old quarter, but quiet enough when you need to relax. Thanks to all the friendly and helpful staff at Elaina Signature Hotel for a wonderful experience my first time visiting Hanoi and Vietnam.

The hotel’s location is superb. It is located a few hundred meters from Hoan Kiem lake. It’s a very safe place to stay and visit Hanoi. The room is very clean, and the Wi-Fi is very fast. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants and souvenirs shop nearby. The hotel has a restaurant on the 8th floor offering excellent Vietnamese dishes. We had free breakfast including excellent Vietnamese soup called Pho, fried eggs, various Vietnamese fruits, coffee, tea, mango juice, … Ms. Thao and Ms. Ngoc Anh (restaurant staff) are very polite and professional, as well as the staff at the reception and travel desk. We will certainly stay here next time we visit Hanoi.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS !!!! Worst hotel
This was THE WORST hotel I have ever stayed at, and I travel a lot for work and pleasure. The bed was rock hard, there is a loud bar across the street blasting loud thumping music into the early hours of the morning, making it impossible to sleep. The breakfast host PICKED HER NOSE and inspected her find then proceeded to serve my breakfast with those dirty hands. There is no shower curtain in the bathroom, which is a safety hazard as water goes all over the bathroom floor. A man tried to force his way into my room at midnight (there are no peep holes to see who it is) and the hotel said he was "looking for friends in another room" - why did he look me in the eye and push the door open? I am not his friend. He did not know me. They refused to do anything, Eric at the front desk let this man into the hotel. And the worst part, Huong, the front desk woman, SCREAMED at me for over an hour, refusing to assist or refund the rest of my stay, saying there is "no bar or club" and that i was lying, and that the other incidents did not occur, and she refused to help or refund me because, as she yelled at me over and over "they are your FEELINGS!" I told her i would be leaving a bad review, she replied that she'd deny it all. If this happened in the US, Europe she would be fired. This is disgusting, horrendous service, a health and safety violation, and literally the worst hotel stay of my life. I write this out in the hopes of helping my fellow travellers- DO NOT STAY HERE.

Response from We would like to let other guests know the truth. on 11 Jul 2023
Dear ms,On behalf of Oriana Management team, Thank you for your sharing your experience in our hotel even We are not sure that is the true or false. Also we would like express my deepest sympathy for your loss, I think it’s reason make your mental didn’t calm during your travellingBased on your comment, We would like to let other guests know the truth what was happened during your stay Firstly, when you arrived at our hotel, you said you had just left from another bad hotel (Now we wonder if all hotels are bad to your feeling?) After checking in, You said “Everything is great from the room and staff and service”. Then after 1 night staying in our hotel, you came down and still said “everything was great, you got a good sleep.” You was really happy until the weather outside was so hot and your plan was changed when you have to leave Vietnam earlier. You had to cancel the Halong bay trip before departure day, the cruise charged you 30% of cancellation fee, THE PROBLEM STARTED FROM NOW!!!Then you feel uncomfortable. You said you feel noisy from the bar near the hotel, but there isn’t any bars or clubs next to our hotel. Obviously, there wasn’t any noisy problem at the first night. If anyone could find any bar near/next hotel, We would offer them 1 week stay for FREE for sureSecondly, about the guy come to wrong room, he is another guest went wrong floor, he just went to knock the wrong room. Now we still have video in camera in front of your room to show that it really an accident wrong room without any harmful. But you reported to Expedia that “there was a man broke into your room” – its not the truth. Next, you want us have to free your room charge even the nights you stayed in our hotel. And you threatened us that if we don’t refund you room charge you will write all bad reviews for us. And we said that “we had all good reviews and real comment from other guests, we respect the truth. Hence, we don’t want to do that when we didn’t do anything wrong with you.” You force us have to give you back money and follow your demand. While our staff tried to explain for you that refund need to consider from the owner, then you said our staffs screamed at you. All your feelings and your mindset are quite difficult for us. When you back to your country, you tried to claim with your bank to take back the money you paid for room charge in our hotel while you stayed and used our service. Why could you do that? Please self-respectful!!! Finally, we do hope you can understand that running a business is not easy, especially after Covid-19, WE DON’T WANT TO EXCHANCE GOOD REVIEW BY REFUND. We know that working for Service Industry, we couldn’t pleased 100% guests but we always try our best to make guest’s feel comfortable and memorable during guest’s stay in our hotel. But for your case and your expectation, if there is any chance to change something in your situation, We couldn’t do anything better.We do hope that your mental will be calm soon. And you

Choose an exterior facing room (noisy but better).
Nice boutique hotel in a good location with friendly staff and good restaurant. The street facing rooms are nice (if you can tolerate the early morning traffic noise). The interior rooms are dark and claustrophobic (and not that quiet either).

Couldn't be bettered
I stayed for one night on three occasions over 2 weeks. Excellent facilities in hotel and room. Hekped with all my onward travel arrangements. Extensive and delicious breakfast. What sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. From the moment you step through the door until you leave the service is amazing. Eg accompanied me all the way to my coach on the night train and on my final day diverted my taxi to the airport back to the hotel as i had left my daypack behind and hadnt even realized. Forever grateful. The management should be very proud of all of them. I would definitely stay here again

We stayed here in November 2019. This is our fifth hotel in Hanoi. The location is great, so close to the lake and central to everything. Your right downtown. There is a small grocery store around the corner and a cafe across the street (we got coffee here). The rooms were okay, the bed was quite hard, but they give you plenty of pillows. The bathroom had hot water and decent towels. The big window in our room was fabulous, you could see right down to the street. The breakfast wasn’t great unless you order from the menu; they offer pho bowls and eggs, get those and skip the hot bar. Also, we didn’t enjoy the coffee, it has a instant flavor to it. For the money, this hotel was pleasing with some interesting quirks.

Great hotel with 5-star staff
This hotel should be praise by its service and the quality of its staff. They went above and beyond to help us with anything we would need to have a comfortable stay. We stayed one night and later repeated because of the great service and comfortable facilities. It is also conveniently located and it was easy to walk close by. The staff was super helpful booking us taxis from and to the airport and even helping us sending a package from the post office (really, who does that?). Breakfast was delicious and made to order besides a large buffet.

Great Hotel For Your Stay!!!
Our stay was very short but the customer service was phenomenal. The transportation/tour booking went very smoothly. The room met our expectations of comfort and the breakfast offered a variety of dishes that were delicious. We had laundry done and needed it back before leaving the following day, they had it returned to us by the end of the night. I would highly recommend Emerald Waters Hotel Trendy to anyone staying in Hanoi. Very close to many of Hanoi's attractions.

Great location, sensational service! This hotel set an all-time record for best and most personal service. (And I have travelled a lot,) The hotel itself is well located in the old town, close to everything. It is in some ways unremarkable, but everything is clean and well maintained. Absolutely outstanding is the service! A new high bar has been set. Everything from always remembering our names to prompt and efficient organisation of tours, transfers, etc. I should also mention that prices for in-room prices are very competitive, so no need to hold back. Highly recommended. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Little gem in old quarter of Hanoi
We loved the staff at emerald waters Trendy. They genuinely care about ensuring your well being and comfort - and truly exemplify the warmth of the people of Hanoi. The room was large and comfy. Breakfast was fantastic each morning with a wide selection including a hot menu. We could walk to all of the bits of old quarter and nip back in when we needed some rest from the heat. The location is so good for all of the old quarter. Highlight would still be the incredible staff. Happy to stay here again

The staff was especially nice as my friend was sick with vomiting upon arrival. They brought her ginger tea, offered to get medicine from the pharmacy and finally arranged for her to be taken to the international hospital. They also managed to get porridge for her late in the night even though the kitchen was closed. Thumbs up for really excellent service. The room was comfortable and clean albeit small. One thing though, we found an unwashed teaspoon together with the tea cups. Overall a good experience. Will definitely return.
