Accommodation is where some of the biggest savings can be found on this trip. Hanoi offers exceptional value for travellers who want a comfortable or even luxurious stay without the high prices normally associated with a major international capital.
Well-rated 5-star hotels can start from approximately €50 per night. For two adults sharing one room, that works out at only around €25 per person per night.
Hanoi also has a huge selection of affordable boutique hotels, serviced apartments and highly rated 3-star and 4-star properties. Travellers who do not require a full luxury experience can often reduce the accommodation cost even further.

The lowest advertised price may apply to an internal room without a proper exterior window. This is relatively common in Hanoi, particularly in the narrow buildings found around the Old Quarter.

Do not select a property based only on its star rating or headline price. Compare the exact room size, window type, map location, recent reviews, noise, air-conditioning, cleanliness and breakfast. A well-reviewed 4-star hotel with a spacious exterior room may offer a better stay than a discounted 5-star hotel selling its smallest internal room.
Compare the complete stay price, location, selected room category, window type, recent guest reviews, breakfast and cancellation conditions before confirming your reservation.
