Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are showing their age — Some guests note that while rooms are well maintained, the furnishings and fixtures are dated.
- Check-in closes at 23:59 — If you land late, you'll need to arrive before midnight or arrange something with the hotel in advance.
- No on-site parking — Parking is available nearby, not at the hotel itself, which could be a minor hassle for drivers.

8Verified guest“Lovely room, helpful staff, quiet street, and a very good breakfast.”
8Verified guest“The staff were great – I arrived early and they offered me breakfast and orange juice while my room was being prepared, all without extra charge. The room was spotless, with complimentary fruit daily, a laptop, Wi-Fi, and cable TV. Everything was excellent.”
8Verified guest“Great location, comfortable bed, and friendly staff.”
8Verified guest“Five-star service. The staff are always looking to help. Clean, modern rooms, free Wi-Fi, a provided laptop, and plenty of movies. The location is in the Old Quarter. More than 10 breakfast choices, all very well prepared. In the U.S., this would be a $200/night hotel.”
8Verified guest“The Elite was the best value for money hotel we stayed at during our three-week trip through Vietnam, and among the best we've ever used. The staff were lovely, friendly, and superb, and the room, location, and breakfasts were great. After walking around hot Hanoi, it was wonderful to relax in our room watching movies on the entertainment system – and the staff would hand us a refreshing glass of water as soon as we returned. We used the Elite as a base on three separate occasions, and they were very accommodating with early check-in and letting us rest in the reception. They also helped arrange tours. We recommend it without hesitation.”
8Verified guest“The staff were second to none – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They always used our names and nothing was too much trouble. I was sorry to leave! The rooms were impeccably clean, comfortable, modern, and well equipped with a laptop and free Wi-Fi, which made planning onward travel much easier. A true haven in hectic Hanoi.”
