A generous warm and treasured experience.

Our stay was so lovely.
We were given a room on a high floor after the first night so we could see Tay Ho lake.
Our room was spacious with two beds, cleaned and restocked daily.
Breakfast was on the 11th floor with exquisite outdoor seats and views. Options were varied with pho, fruit, eggs, salads, meats, rice, juices, tea and coffee.
The staff were very responsive and dealt with any requests quickly.
Staff gave us constant care and attention and seemed to enjoy their jobs and the hotel they were part of. It is not always the case to see this.
We would return any opportunity.

booked online through Expedia for this specific hotel and when arrived, they said my booking was not in their system. They wanted to put me in a motel near by, not even a hotel, motel with cheaper price. I said no and showed them my receipt that I had paid for the room. Lucky I was with some locals and they helped me out by talking to the receptionists. After some back and fort exchanges, the hotel decided to refund my moneys but at first they did not want to give me back my moneys, saying they have room at another place. Bad services and shady hotel. Would not come back again.

The receptionist are very friendly & accommodating. We had a bad experienced on the 1st day because of a rude taxi driver but they help us report it & they also help us booked for transport so that we will never experienced it again. They also help us in booking our city tour even that it was a last minute decision

Hotel on busy street

While in your room all you hear in horns honking.The hotel is on a very busy street so it's noisy. Hotel staff were very nice. I got hurt the first day in front of hotel and had to have a wheelchair so they would unlock the back entrance to let us come and go from there. The pictures are the view from the room. Internet sucked..

Nice staff, great view

We had troubles getting to Cat Ba Island because of our flight time we missed the last ferry to the island that day. But the hotel understood our concern and then upgraded our room at no cost for our trouble. Even though they had nothing to do with our travel arrangements to the island. Upon arrival we met the manager who upgraded us and he was just as kind as his email. The room had instant hot water which was nice and free breakfast was good. They were doing some construction on our hotel and the hotel next door so the noise was not ideal. But it was nothing ear plugs could not fix. It was very nice to have a view of the water from our balcony.

A convenient location for me!

The location was close by my friend's house. Even though not in a tourist area taxis are cheap to go anywhere.I loved the views from rooms facing the lake and also from the 11th floor restaurant. I was happy to be upgraded to a lake view room after we experienced air conditioning problems in our first room. I was impressed by the friendly, courteous staff.

Viewing the lake, comfortable, nice staff.

The room is tidy and clean,should be ok. In the process of check-in, I was comforted by the staff who was so helpful and friendly. As requested, she told me the good restaurants nearby the hotel and local transportation arrangement detailly and politely. Besides, I am lucky to be upgraded to a room with good view to the lake.

bad hotel...

Probably one of the worst stay in my life. My stay in this hotel was bad experience. Most rude and impolite staff that i ever seen, not common for Vietnam at all. At the check in we receive room and after we enter room it was shock to see, very dirty room with hole in the bed sheet. after we requested to have another room which was better but still bathtub was leaking and not clean room. Another sad moment is the staff, they been always rude and wherever we ask for something answer was you can do yourself. At the end very disappointing stay and not recommend at all.

Off the tourist track but well worth it

A one night stay before flying out to Cambodia, so I chose a hotel with uncomplicated access to the new airport motorway. Very friendly welcome, basic but comfortable double room (complimentary upgrade on arrival was great), minimal traffic noise. Pleasantly surprised by breakfast buffet. The view overlooking Westlake was impressive; I would like to see it at night.
General neighbourhood dominated by Westlake, so very good for easy local walking. Many restaurants and cafes in area. Shopping options limited compared to other areas.
Overall, a very good, friendly place to stay, away from the main tourist areas, that lets you see a different part of Ha Noi.

Nice Budget hotel with Full Lake View

Stayed in hotel Suite on Level 9, the highest floor for room stay if I am not wrong. Perfect view of the West lake. Had breakfast everyday and not much variety on the food. But the view is excellent. Afterall, most of the time I only stay in hotel at night.

Security is good for this hotel. It is not as grand as other big hotels, but it is enough for a short stay.

Overall Experience is good. I will stay again when I visit Hanoi again.

fantastic hotel in a perfect location near lake

We enjoyed every minute of it, the staff was so helpful in organizing tours and any other need such as helping with flight issues eg, the reception personnel especially Thuy rang for me and spoke in my behalf in Vietnamese to resolve problems with flight delays and allowed us to stay in our room instead of going way too early and wait at the airport. Also just to give another example we had an accident spilling red wine on the bed we were embarrassed of course but they quickly reassured us and changed all the linen in a flash. Ho we cannot forget the massage and beauty clinic we give them 5 stars for their professionalism and friendliness, and their price is so reasonable for hotel prices, in fact I think it's cheaper than down the street! Of course we have stayed at more prestigious hotels, but I would say the hospitality is somewhat more artificial, whereas at Sunset West lake there is a personal family atmosphere that anyone travelling in a foreign country that speaks a different language to our own would certainly welcome. Ps. They gave us tips on culture and how much taxi rides and other things should cost us. And I give full points for their restaurant too. Well we certainly loved it and we surly recommend it to anyone that wants a good holiday in Hanoi. Enjoy, from Joe and Rosie

Nice view of the lake. A little far from the busy shopping areas, needed a taxi to get there (not a problem though because taxis are so cheap) Staff were very helpful and friendly and happy to accomodate my family and I. We were a little disappointed as the gym and facilities floor was closed due to renovations. Hotel could use a makeover and definately needs a pool to relax by after a busy day. Dont book this hotel if you are a light sleeper as the honking of horns will drive you mad. All in all great value for money, cant complain too much at $40 per night

Adequate short term stay

Bit disappointing - after almost 24 hours in transit, upon arrival as arranged airport pick up did not arrive - thank goodness for the assistance of a tour desk at the airport to call the hotel on our behalf.
Room was quite modern..with a good view of West Lake and a great bathtub. However, there were no towels in the room and it took some time to get them delivered to the room. Breakfast was simple but adequate. Only stayed one night so not sure about the rest of the hotel services
