The Lapis Hotel, Hanoi

The Lapis is a new, boutique hotel with large, well-designed rooms and great amenities. The rooms were elegant and comfortable, and ours had an incredibly spacious, spa-like bathroom with an awesome shower. The top floor has a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the city. It’s unheated and was quite cold when we visited, but a great view. There’s also a hot tub, sauna, steamroom, and small gym (had rack of dumbbells, two treadmills, one bike?). Breakfast was good but definitely not be best we had in Hanoi. There were a decent number of options. Service was good, and staff were very friendly. The location is in the French Quarter, a couple blocks south of the Opera House. It’s far less chaotic than the Old Quarter (you can actually cross streets!) but there is still a lot of street noise heard in the rooms. It’s walkable to many places, including Old Quarter, though we sometimes took cabs. For a 4.5 star hotel, the value was great!

My husband and I arrived Hanoi late at night and we got checked into the hotel fast by Miss Hoa the front desk. She was very attentive and greeting us with a big smile. Don't be fooled by the lights off at the lobby when you are checking in at late night. There are staff waiting for you. The pool was nice and the spa too at this moderate size hotel. The buffet was great and the staffs were amazingly friendly. The location was great too, walking distance to Hoan Kiem lake and many restaurants nearby too. Even across the street of the hotel, there is Ngon restaurant which I would go back again and again. We definitely recommend our friends to stay at this hotel.

The hotel was nice and clean. The staff was professional and most could speak English.

Staff were amazing and always there to help. They recommended local restaurants for signature dishes! The hotel was very clean and modern too. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel is great, we stayed there two times on our stay. The area is nice with banks and small shops near by. Walking to the old quarter is about 15 minutes and takes you by a really nice lake. Would stay again.
