It looked better in the pictures but overall we had a good stay. It can use some cleaning.

The rooms are good (a bit small, but common in this area of Hanoi). Includes Breakfast. But the thing that sets this hotel apart from all others is the staff. They talk to you, not at you. They are available to answer any and all questions you have. They all speak English very well. I would give them 6 stars in staff if I could.

Staff were lovely and would do anything to assist you. Location was amazing as it’s right in the centre of everything but I was a little surprised / disappointed by the tiny room sizes but being as it is located right in the centre of old town there isn’t a lot of space.

Property was very well situated in old quarter, around corner from the lake, has a circle k nearby, plenty food and cafe options and minutes walk from beer street! Staff are super friendly and extremely helpful, fluent in english. Only let down is the rooms, air con is weak and only powers when room card is inserted taking a while to cool at its best. Was there in June so its hot and humid. Shower was nice and had consistent hot water if needed but drainage was weak. Vanity could do with a refresh but not a problem. Bed was soft and clean, no problems with sleeping other than not enough cooling. Overall its a nice place to stay for the location and price.

Wonderful staff but very small rooms

Friendly staff, amazing breakfast, and convenient location. The rooms however are truly TINY and we had trouble fitting two hand-carry sized suitcases in a room for two people. Barely anyroom to move. This is more for budget travelers traveling light.

I loved this property. It was everything I thought it would be. And it was super convenient tonwalk everywhere through Old Quarter. The staff were helpful to give advice on places to go and tours. They give you a things to know guide when you arrive so you keep safe and enjoy your trip. Breakfast is a-la-carte and limited seating so you may have to wait, but it was good food, good service and roof top views. I would definitely stay here again!!

Right in the middle of Hanoi night market, very convenient and easy to walk around. Food is easy to find. Good location. Hotel room is very small - suitable for single person. No place to put luggage. Hotel can improve cleanliness as I saw a cockroach ran under my bed. Hot shower, nice smelling and soft towels. Breakfast was fantastic and came with room stay - delicious and it is ala carte buffet. Staff friendly and helpful.

Everything was perfect. Due to heavy rain, we have been refused by all the taxis and grabs to go the station to take the train which we did not have that much time left. Therefore the staffs helped us a lot and as a consequence offered us a private car under terrible weather.

The location of this hotel was excellent if you are wanting to explore the Old Quarters. Even though it was right in the middle of the hustle and hustle, it was so quiet inside. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. Space wasn't an issue as we were exploring outside and only came back to sleep. The breakfast was lovely and up on the 6th floor, it was a great way to start the day.
Mr Jackie and the staff were super friendly and organised a driver for us to start our next part of our Vietnam journey. I would stay here again

Look no further.

Look no further.
I spent weeks looking for the perfect hotel to stay in Hanoi and La Selva Central was the perfect choice and it certainly did not disappoint.

The rooms are EXACTLY what you see in the pictures online. You get that actual Vietnamese feeling when you enter. They are plenty charging ports in the room which is a MUST. The rooms provided everything that you would need for a short to a medium stay. Again, I say look no further. From a 24hr Convenience store across the street to the grand shopping street just a block away...the hotel is ideal.

I must personally mention Jackie and Syuen.
From the time I confirmed my reservation Jackie waa on the ball. From providing my airport pick-up and drop-off to arranging a tour. Those simple touches were added bonuses to my stay. Syuen in the rooftop restaurant was amazing. From day 1 to day 4 she knew what I liked and didn't liked. Her attention to details was spot on and she even showed me how to use chopsticks.

La Selva Central hotel is the perfect hotel for your stay in Hanoi.

Mr Jackie Lee and his team went above and beyond with the help and information they gave us, could not have done anything more!! We had read the reviews and we are two of many people that have been lucky to have been so fortunate to have this kindness given at the start of our travels in Vietnam.
The hotel clean and comfortable with a good choice of breakfast options. A prefect stay and we would highly recommend it!!

Unfortunately during my stay of 3 days i was sick. The staff were most accommodating in allowing a late check out and arranged my taxi to airport.

The breakfast service was excellent.

I only wish there had of been a kettle in the room to make a hot drink.

A breath of serenity

Hotel staffs are always welcoming and helpful: allowing earlier check at 6am. It meant the world to me after such a long bus ride that was too crammed. Breakfast is ok. You can order eggs and a bowl of pho from the kitchen. I would come here again because of the location and the staff here.

We loved staying at La Selva Central Hotel. Conveniently located near the lake, and in the Old Quarter, close to everything including restaurants, shopping, the puppet theatre, the French Quarter. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and it includes a very good breakfast. The staff are wonderful! Nothing is too much trouble. They are friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. The manager, Mr Jackie, is always available via WhatsApp. He organised wonderful tours for us and even checked in with us while we were away to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again.

But absolutely the best … concierge ‘Jackie Le’ I’m retired world traveler last 25 years … never meet anyone better at their job… way above the call of duty

Breakfast was made fresh on request and the staff very friendly.

Better than a 5 star hotel - Perfection!

The service was excellent. The staff were helpful and knew us by name. They added personal touches to and made it feel like a 5 star hotel. Attention to detail was outstanding. They provided us a full guide of their favourite places to see and eat as well as a guide to Hoi An where we were headed next. They were helpful and thoughtful of all our needs. The hotel was beautiful and absolutely spotless. This hotel is better than any 5 star hotel I’ve stayed in and the location is perfect.

The staff at Hanoi La Selva were brilliant, in particular Lily on the front desk was super helpful. They really made our stay amazing, be it greeting you by name, the bell hop was always on hand to open and close the door and the breakfast staff were very attentive but at the same time not overpowering.
The location for this hotel is great, right in the middle of the old quarter. Due to its location the rooms were expectadly on the smaller side but that didnt bother us as we spent most of our time out exploring!
We will definitely stay here next time we visit Hanoi!!!
