6/10 Good
6 December 2022
Small, but comfortable. Now with less chaos!
La Storia is very central in the Old Town part of Hanoi. It is convenient for catching a number of buses to major destinations in the city, whether they be the Temple of Literature or the Museum of Ethnology.
The hotel itself is on a quieter, less-trafficked street in the area. However, step onto one of the streets at either end of the block and be prepared to dodge motor-scooters or face death! Note, this truism applies to many streets in the Old Town, as well as across the city in general.
The room itself was comfortable (though small) and fairly clean, with enough details (moldings in bedroom, vanity area tiles, etc.) to make it feel boutique-like vs generic.
There was definitely a lack of storage at the front desk as temporary holding of arriving / departing guest luggage ended up at the foot of the stairwell. Not good.
Breakfast options were limited and not particularly eventful, taste-wise. Coffee was usually lukewarm at best.
Staff did speak good English, were friendly, helpful, and responsive.
Overall, ok value for price.
