Hotels near British Council in Hanoi

Center for Women and Development Hotel is located at 20 Thuy Khue Street, Tay Ho District, Hanoi. The place is very convenient for traveling to places in the inner city as well as moving to the transfer stations. The restaurants and restaurants are very convenient around and especially the beautiful view of the hotel overlooking West Lake.

The good news - the 2bedroom apartment was excellent value - clean, spacious and well laid out. We did have to get a technician in to sort out a noisy aircon (old unit) - but this was done promptly without fuss. A huge bottle of drinking water (same size of those for water coolers) is provided - and we definately appreciated this. The apartment is also very quiet and well soundproofed. We were very happy with the apartment - excellent value accomodation wise. Customer service was OK. We interacted with three different staff and the a staff at the buffet breakfast. The three counter staff could speak good English - we had difficulty with the lady at the buffet breakfast who spoke little English. Overall service level was OK but not the best. I found that the service from the doorman the excellent - a smile and a greeting when opening the doors. Although the staff were polite, we never felt the warmth that we experienced from other Vietnamese hotels (we have stayed at a range of 4* and 5* accomodation). For example, when trying to figure out where to eat dinner, talking to the counter staff was like talking to a polite chatbot - you had to ask exactly the right question to get a helpful response. Do note that the gynm is very small - it was smaller than our apartmeent. With the 3 of us in the gym, we found it rather squeezy. It is airconditioned though and towels and water are provided. We did not use the pool. The UGLY: The hotel provides the option of a buffet breakfast at VND346500/pax (about USD 14.50 ) - which we opted for. This is served in the inhouse Japanese restaurant. You have to choose a Japanese main course from two options - and you have access to a (tiny) breakfast buffet. However, I would not recommend the breakfast - its very poor value for money and the food provided is not of a good quality standard. Not the best tastewise either. When we were told one of our main courses was not avaialble (we were there at 8am at an empty restaurant) - my wife remarked that the option of Japanese main course appeared to depend on what was leftover unsold from the previous night at the restaurant. The provided coffee was so awful that I found that the 3-in-1 premix tasted better. See the attached picture for the (tiny) range of buffet options on offer. Again , strongly recommend you avoid the breakfast buffet. The overall exterior doesn't appear to have been maintained for years. Of course this could be due to air pollution. This didn't impact our stay materially though - although it could be an eyesore for others. The hotel is well situated and West Lake is easily accessible through the hotel back gate. Its also 15min away to Lotte Metropolis via Grab cab. In summary, we enjoyed the apartment stay - but dreaded the morning breakfast. Overall - still recommended for excellent value and location though.

Peaceful oasis in the midst of chaos outside Beautifully furnished Friendly staff Great buffet breakfast choice Lovely restaurant. Great Vietnamese food and European Star of the show is the spa. Great treatments

Phòng view ổn nhưng nói thực thì phần cskh chán không tả được. Mình đã đặt phòng trên Trip đến nơi thì lễ tân báo phòng mình cho người khác ở mất rồi, bảo mình up lên phòng khác view hồ, trong khi phòng mình đặt trên app cũng ghi rõ view hồ rồi. Nhưng vì lúc đó gấp nên cũng đành trả thêm tiền để ở thôi. Phòng tắm thì không kiểm tra kĩ để thiếu mất dầu gội

The location is very convenient when going sightseeing. The hotel is located in a narrow alley about 20m from the big street, but the surroundings are safe. On the contrary, it does not face a big street, so you can't hear the noise of cars or motorcycles. The service is general, but considering the price, it can be said to be a very good service. There is also a feeling of cleanliness.

Spacious room with a huge bed. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and the location was really good next to major attractions. Being outside of Old Quarter was good to avoid the crowds and noise. The rooms were quiet, with thick curtains helping a lot with the noise. Would recommend.

Room with the same cleanliness as major Japanese chains. Still, the room is larger than a Japanese business hotel. There is a sink and a medium size refrigerator, which is also suitable for a certain long stay. There is a large bath and sauna on the rooftop. It is necessary to be careful because the time is limited, but the weekend is a little extended. The relaxing room has three automatic massage machines, small with running machines, but also a fitness room. When I stayed, the cost performance is quite good at 5000 yen per night. The restaurant on the first floor is recommended for breakfast. When you are tired and don't go out, you can also take lunch and dinner at another price.

Visiting Hanoi, hotel was nice, rooms nice staff great, good facilities. The hotel has a focus on golf (great range into the lake) but it's a shame about the golf clus for hire if guests don't have their own clubs - I know it's a really minor issue but would encourage the hotel management to at least provide more up-to-date equipment, afterall guests are paying to use the equipment. Otherwise nice Hanoi hotel, would return.

Its good hotel in Hanoi. A bit old hotel. Rooms category for first 3 is same room. We have an issue with one room that they hv solve instantly. Location is good.

1. 20 kilometers away from Hanoi Airport, half an hour to the hotel, the front desk can simply communicate in Chinese; 2. The hotel has a very good environment, with swimming pools, good greening, and is surrounded by West Lake; 3. Breakfast is average, with rice noodles, rice, porridge, bread, etc., both Chinese and Western dishes; 4. The price is very cheap compared to China, after all, it is the capital of Vietnam, 3-4 hundred yuan; Overall it is recommended.
