Nghĩa Đô Trip

We absolutely loved out stay at the Splendid Premium. The staff was exceptionally caring, friendly helpful - everybody at the Splendid went above and beyond. I cannot stress that enough, they made us feel very welcome. Really everybody - across front desk, bell desk, breakfast, rooftop bar, spa, and so on. The location is excellent - it's right in the Old Quarter (which we later learned is the most expensive real estate in all of Vietnam - yet the hotel price was reasonable); lots of activities in walking distance, or a short ride from there. Breakfast selection was great, with some daily variations. We went to the Spa a few times, they knew what they're doing. Slight knock down (4 vs 5 stars) on 'condition and facilities'... it was fine, however if you expect a western hotel standard you may be a bit disappointed (room was rather dark with lack of view, and pool was cold); however, as noted before, this place is in Hanoi's Old Quarter, so that needs to be taken into context. Allover excellent stay, and we would go there again.

The receptionist with the glasses was very cute and very helpful

Clean ample room, well equipped with a comfy large bathroom. Only drawback - limited TV programming mostly Asian channels. No CNN and BBC although those are listed in the programming brochure. Very friendly and helpful reception and restaurant staff. Good job, everybody

The location isnt great, very far from everything. I was refused a pickup for every activity I booked. The hot water only lasts three minutes but otherwise great value for money.
