Short walk to the French Quarters which personally I feel is a much better place to be in than Old Quarters in terms of cleanliness, food, overall beauty and sight seeing. Old Quarter may be a better location for you if you prefer the hustle and bustle though. Still, it's still within walking distance but not that near, maybe about 20 mins. Hotel was great, comfortable, classy, loved the breakfast, not a HUGE extensive array served but more than good enough. Most importantly, it was delicious. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The room however is awkward with glass for the bathroom walls. Though the curtains can be pulled down, there's still slight cracks where the person in the bathroom can be seen. Awkward as it was a trip for co-workers. The beds are a little hard but not a problem, I just prefer softer ones. Pool is smaller than expected but still very welcoming in the Hanoi heat. Would come back for sure.
