Van Mieu Hotel

The hotel is near the market, so it's quite convenient to have breakfast. The hotel is near the lake and Uncle Ho's mausoleum.

Mid-range hotel, okay location near the Temple of Literature and the Old Quarter. The front of the hotel is currently under construction so it's a bit dusty. My room felt unsanitary, there was water on the table. The bathroom was clogged and it took about 7-9 minutes for the water to drain after I used it to shower.

The hotel is hygienic and clean, and the balcony of the room is convenient for drying clothes. There was a middle-aged lady at the front desk who could speak Chinese and helped me solve many problems caused by the language barrier. This hotel is especially suitable for people who like to hike and travel independently. It only takes me 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to the train station, 5 minutes to the famous Temple of Literature in Hanoi, and 5 minutes to the Hanoi Cathedral, 36 Ancient Street, Hoan Kiem Lake, Thang Hoang Citadel, and Zhen Mu. It takes less than 30 minutes to visit the historical sites, One Pillar Temple, Ba Dinh Square (equivalent to Tiananmen Square in China) and other attractions. It is particularly worth mentioning that a few hundred meters away from the hotel is the market where local people buy vegetables. It is very rewarding to see the market and walk through the narrow streets of the old city to understand the lives of ordinary people in Hanoi.
