I knew this hotel and chose to stay here after reading good reviews in Tripadvisor forum and we were not disappointed. Their services provided were exceptionally good and I wonder why this hotel is not even mentioned in LonelyPlanet or Wikitravel! I booked the rooms months ahead via e-mail and got replies almost instantly. They're efficient! The manager and his staff was brilliant and spoke decent English. They were so helpful to arrange from taxi to the airport, train ticket bookings, our daily trip to suggestion of where we should have our meals.
Our rooms were spacious, superclean, bathroom with a bath; and even a lift in the hotel. So you wouldn't have to climb the staircase with heavy bag on your back! For around $25 per room, it's outstanding value and highly recommended!

We would like to recommend this hotel to all tourist from our experience at the Duc Thai Hotel. The hotel is located in a good place with excellent service by Hanoi family hotel. We will be back this hotel in the near future.

After checking few websites and mailing ahead to make the reservation on the Duc Thai Hotel basing on guest ' s positive reviews especially about services and staff. I found that everything become truthfully. 1. Email directly and got the efficient and professional reply. 2.Airport Pick up and transfer is on time with friendly,helfull staff and free of charge as promise because staying over 03 nights. 3. Good air-conditional, free internet, super clean, all the room with big bath-tub 4. Buffet Breakfast (Great noodle soup and ' banh cuon 'and western breakfast even though not many choices as 03 or 04 stars hotel) 5. Free of charge for luggage storage as conversation on mail during the trip to Halong Bay and Sapa 6. The travel agent at the lobby is so helpful to book the trip to halong bay (Ginger cruise) and Sapa Trekk. We were happy and satisfied with the services, specially about the prices (Cheaper than contacting directly to Ginger Junk ' s website and Victoria 'Train) 7. The hotel booking in Hue (Hue Camelia Hotel) Hoi An (River Beach Resort), Nha Trang (Sunrise Beach resort) was great and also less expensive than by myselves. 8. The air ticket, they said that they would take 50.000VND ($3) commission. It was correct (Not overcharge) 9. The tour in Mekong Delta and Siem reap is perfectly!! Overall, the Duc Thai hotel is one of the best Hotels I have been stayed during the trip in South East Asia. Surely to recommend to every traveler coming to Hanoi. I will be back next time.
