Rising Dragon Hotel

We checked in around 2am and everything went smoothly. The hotel was easy to communicate with before arrival, which was helpful. The room was fine for a one-night stay, although our window looked into the building rather than outside.

The location was the main reason we booked this hotel and it really worked for us. Train Street is just across the road, and we could walk to Hoan Kiem Lake and the night market quite easily. There are also plenty of places to eat around the hotel. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.

This was my second time staying here, and the experience remained very positive. The price is affordable considering the location, view, and service quality. Overall, it’s a great hotel with excellent service, and I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Hanoi.

The rooms are very clean and equipped with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. While the rooms show some signs of age, everything is in working order. Tea, coffee, and complimentary bottled water are replenished daily, which is a nice and thoughtful touch.

The bathroom was a bit small and slightly uncomfortable, and the lack of a shower curtain made it less practical. This was the main reason I rated the room four stars instead of five. However, everything was clean and functional, so it wasn’t a major issue.

You can hear the sound of train passing by, which adds to the unique atmosphere of staying near Train Street. Surprisingly, it was not too noisy and never disturbed our sleep. Instead, it felt like part of the local experience rather than a drawback.

The room size was reasonable and well suited for a short city stay. Inside the room, everything worked as expected, including fast Wi-Fi, a small fridge, and a comfortable bed. These practical amenities made the stay convenient and relaxing.

The staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout the stay. They spoke very good English and were always ready to assist with any request. Their positive attitude and professionalism really made a difference and added to the overall comfort of the experience.

One of the biggest highlights of this hotel is its location. It sits right next to Train Street, with cafés nearby and a clear view of the tracks from the entrance. Despite the lively surroundings, it’s also very close to the heart of the Old Quarter, making it easy to explore the city on foot.

The room was cleaned regularly, and the daily housekeeping was one of the things we appreciated. Everything was kept tidy, which made the room comfortable to come back to after being out all day. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, and they helped us whenever we had a request. There was nothing complicated about the stay, and things generally went smoothly.

The hotel is well located, close to the railway where visitors gather to watch the train pass through the narrow street. From our balcony, we had a perfect view of this unique scene, which made our stay even moore memorable.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

Very friendly helpful staff and good location.

Location was across from train street in old town. Staff friendly. Room clean.

Overall, this hotel works well for a short stay in Hanoi. The central location makes it easy to get around and explore. Rooms are simple and may feel small, but they cover the basics. The staff were friendly and ready to help when needed. It’s not a luxury experience, but it’s practical and convenient. I had a decent time staying here.

If you’re paying a very low rate, your expectations should match that. The rooms are basic and may not have windows, and cleanliness could be improved. However, considering the cost, it’s still acceptable. It’s ideal for budget travelers who prioritize location over comfort. You can’t expect luxury at this price point. It serves its purpose well.

The reception team here were incredibly helpful during my visit. They assisted me in booking trips to places like Ha Giang and Ha Long Bay at reasonable prices. It made planning much easier and more convenient. The hotel is also perfectly located in the Old Town area. Everything you need is nearby. Their support really added value to my stay.
