[2025 Hanoi Hotels] Travel Guide for La Siesta Premium Hang Be (Updated Jul)

"No comparison, no harm. Once you compare, harm will come out." Although this is what I said, there is no need to compare hotels in Hanoi city. The "guests" are hurt first🥲 I can only say that Vietnamese photographers are really good, they are really "photo-cheating" to the extreme... Every hotel I look at on the Internet is so beautiful and has a very Vietnamese style, but as soon as I arrived at the check-in hall, I thought it was over... it was a photo-cheating. As soon as I entered the room, I started looking for other hotels! I want to change hotels! ! 😭😭😭 Luckily, this La Siesta Luxury Premium Hang Be Hotel is just next door. Seeing this hotel is like seeing a solid piece of driftwood falling into the sea! 🪵 Located in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam, the hotel is a boutique hotel known for its luxurious facilities and quality services. The hotel is strategically located close to Hoan Kiem Lake, providing guests with a quiet living environment in a bustling city. As soon as the door of the hotel is opened, the hotel's unique elegant and fresh fragrance hits your nose. The staff are all very kind and friendly, and they will answer any questions you have! We came at the last minute to ask if there were any vacancies, and we ended up staying in the only super super beautiful duplex suite that could accommodate three people (the hotel staff were very careful and polite in introducing the room to us 😍). The first floor had a living room, a dressing table, and a dry and wet separate sink in the toilet space outside. The second floor was the main resting space with a super large double bed. (If you want to add an extra bed, it will be on the first floor. Even if you add a single bed, the space on the first floor will not feel crowded!) Unfortunately, we took a video of the room space and cannot upload it here🥲 In addition to the beautiful rooms, the restaurant and bar upstairs are also very tasteful, very romantic French style 🇫🇷😍 (Swipe right on the photo 👉🏻) In addition to the buffet breakfast, you can also order a bowl of delicious Vietnamese raw beef rice noodles for free 🍜 (there are other options for those who don’t eat beef~) All in all, I highly recommend this life-saving Driftwood Boutique Hotel in Hanoi! It's definitely not because I stayed in a haunted hotel before. Just compared, Because this place is really great in every aspect! If you want service, there is service. If you need hardware, you have it (for good filming). If you want food, you have food (delicious), To be clean, Be comfortable and have comfort Quality 100% ⚠️Hotels in Hanoi are not as trustworthy as those in Ho Chi Minh City. It is best to choose hotels recommended by others and where friends have stayed. Don’t trust photos too much~😊😊 #Hanoi #Hotel

We chose Cloud Nine Restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had during our time in Hanoi. After reading multiple online recommendations for romantic restaurants in Hanoi, Cloud Nine kept appearing—and now we know why. Tucked away on Level 9 of La Siesta Premium Hotel in the Old Quarter, the restaurant offers a perfect blend of elegance, warmth, and exceptional hospitality. From the moment we entered, we were warmly welcomed by the manager, who thoughtfully remembered my advance request for a quiet corner with views. He even let us choose between two scenic tables, both offering breathtaking sunset views over Hanoi—a lovely start to our evening. The ambiance was something special: classic French colonial charm, soft lighting, and an atmosphere that felt both upscale and intimate. It’s a space that transports you. We ordered a mix of local Vietnamese and Western dishes, and every single plate impressed us with its flavor and presentation. Special thanks to our server Mr. Huong (hope I got that right), who was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly gracious. He not only introduced each dish in detail but also demonstrated how to properly enjoy the local specialties. It’s this level of thoughtfulness and care that truly elevated the entire experience. A huge thank you to the manager, too, who helped us take some beautiful photos to remember the evening. Every part of the service—from booking to goodbye—was top notch. ⸻ 💬 Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a romantic dinner, special occasion venue, or simply want to experience Vietnamese cuisine done to perfection, Cloud Nine is a must-visit. With stunning views, heartfelt hospitality, and delicious food, this place honestly felt Michelin-worthy. Thank you, Cloud Nine team, for making our anniversary unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back! #summervacay #CloudNineHanoi #HanoiDining #RomanticDinnerHanoi #LaSiestaPremium #OldQuarterViews #MichelinVibes #HanoiRestaurants #VietnameseFineDining #SunsetDinnerHanoi #HanoiFoodie #SpecialOccasionHanoi #HanoiAnniversaryDinner #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

#vietnamtrip La Siesta Premium Han Be Highlights - The imposing white façade of La Siesta Premium 27 Hang Be Street overlooks one of Hanoi Old Quarter’s vibrant streets. In ancient times, this was where ‘be’ – a very basic type of wooden boat – was traded. Now the Street is buzzing with a myriad of cafes, restaurants, tailoring shops and traditional souvenir stalls. La Siesta Premium Hang Be embodies classic charm with Asian touches, traditional features and elegant period furnishings creating harmony and balance. A calm neutral color scheme enhanced with splashes of warm colors and mood lighting makes it a tranquil place to relax. #couplestrip

This trip to Hanoi was my birthday trip. I stayed in two hotels, both of which were in the French colonial style that I like. I liked them both and would like to introduce them to you one by one. The first one is La Siesta Premium Hang Be Hotel (Figure 1-6). There are several hotels in Siesta, with slightly different styles. The service is really very, very good. Because it was my birthday, this hotel brought me endless surprises and warmth. Not only did they help me upgrade the room, sing, and decorate the room, the front desk even added WhatsApp to answer guests’ questions! The hotel has a very pleasant fragrance and very friendly service staff, especially a very cute and considerate girl at the front desk #hanoihotel #汉内酒店 Thao. There is also a choice of pho for breakfast, and the meal is on the top floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows are very comfortable. The location of the hotel is also very convenient. Recommended! Moreover, when we were having breakfast, they knew that we would be picked up by a car from Halong Bay, and they helped to contact the gate to keep an eye out and inform us, which was a big plus! The second one is La Mejor Hotel & Sky Bar (Figure 1-4) It’s right near the previous one, with a similar style. Is it considered a low-end version? (The price is only 2/3) But actually there is not much difference, the breakfast environment and meals are the same, I like the room very much, especially the toilet layout is more reasonable, there are more hooks, the service is also very good, the front desk girl Han gives people a friend feeling, just arrived at the hotel because we came back late from Halong Bay, we missed the reservation time of Pizza 4P, she immediately helped us to make a new reservation, and also taught us to use grab coupons, the hotel is located on Beer Street, I was worried about the noise, but fortunately the sound insulation is good, I didn't hear any noise at all on the first night, but on the second night I suddenly heard people singing loudly in the middle of the night 😂 The two bathrooms' bath products are not easy to use, it is recommended to bring your own Netflix on both TVs
