This can be a blessing and a curse and can provide a real big headache for planning a getaway.
To help you out, we researched the very best Hanoi hotels and made a list of the places we would personally stay in each budget category.
Where to Stay in Hanoi?
The best area to stay in Hanoi is the Old Quarter near to the gorgeous Hoàn Kiếm Lake.
This is where most of Hanoi attractions are located and where you will find some great restaurant options.
Most tourists stay in the Old Quarter where decent hotels cost as little as $10USD and range up to hundreds for luxury hotels.
Hanoi is generally affordable for accommodation so there is little point staying outside this area as you will end up spending more money on transportation costs in the long run.
