About
Hanoi View 2 Hotel
Hanoi View 2 Hotel is a compact 2-star property set in an alley off Ngo Si Lien, a 15-minute walk from Saint Joseph Cathedral and the edge of the Old Quarter. The hotel offers 25 rooms spread across multiple floors, with a mix of standard and deluxe options, many featuring bathtubs and some with small balconies. Public areas include a lobby with a coffee shop, a restaurant serving breakfast, and a range of services from currency exchange to tour booking.
The hotel sits in a local market area, which means a lively atmosphere by day and quiet evenings once the stalls close. Rooms are described as spotless, modern, and well-equipped, with amenities like flat-screen TVs, kettles, minibars, and air conditioning. The staff earn repeated praise for being helpful, polite, and English-speaking. While the location is slightly off the main tourist trail, it offers an authentic slice of Hanoi life and easy taxi access to Hoan Kiem Lake and other landmarks.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Remarkable value for the price — Guests consistently note the low nightly rate, with one reviewer remarking that the same quality would cost far more elsewhere. The combination of modern furnishings and a low price makes it a standout among budget options.
- Clean and modern rooms — Rooms are repeatedly described as spotless, bright, and newly furnished, with amenities including air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, kettles, and free Wi-Fi. Several guests mention bathtubs and some have balconies.
- Helpful and friendly staff — The team earns frequent praise for being accommodating, polite, and English-speaking. Guests highlight staff assistance with tours, bookings, and general queries, often going above expectations.
- Great breakfast and coffee — The breakfast buffet is described as having a wide range of options, including traditional Vietnamese dishes, and the coffee earns specific mention. It's a solid start for a day of sightseeing.
- Convenient for exploring Hanoi — Situated a 15-minute walk from Saint Joseph Cathedral and close to the Old Quarter, with easy access via taxi to main attractions like the Literature Temple and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. The area is calm and more authentic than the tourist core.
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Market alley can make taxi access tricky — The hotel sits in a busy market lane, so mornings can be chaotic and vehicles may find it hard to reach the entrance. It's best to allow extra time for pickups during market hours.
- Off the main tourist strip — The hotel is not in the heart of the Old Quarter, which some guests find a plus for peace and authenticity, but it does mean a 15-20 minute walk to the busiest areas. Taxis are cheap and plentiful, however.
- Limited on-site dining beyond breakfast — While the restaurant and coffee shop are available, the immediate area around the hotel has few dining options, with one reviewer noting only a single good restaurant within easy walking distance.
- Rooms can be compact — Some guests note that rooms, especially the standard doubles, are not large – adequate for single travelers but perhaps a squeeze for two. The deluxe rooms offer more space if needed.

8.3Verified guest“Surprisingly charming and clean, modern hotel at a great price. It's a bit off the tourist areas of Hoan Kiem, on the west side of the railway station, and taxi access is tricky in the morning because of the market alley, but otherwise it ticks every box. Happy to recommend.”

Getting around Hanoi
The property sits in Hanoi.
Old Quarter: A 15-20 minute walk or a cheap taxi ride away, the Old Quarter is Hanoi's bustling historic heart, with narrow streets, street food, and souvenir shops. It's the place for wandering and soaking up the city's energy.
Saint Joseph Cathedral: About 1.3 km from the hotel, this neo-Gothic cathedral is a striking landmark, especially when lit up in the evening. The surrounding area is full of cafes and restaurants.
Hoan Kiem Lake: The iconic lake and its surrounding promenade are a short walk or ride from the hotel. Early mornings see locals exercising, and the nearby Ngoc Son Temple is worth a visit.
Literature Temple & Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum: Both cultural sites are within easy reach by taxi, as noted by guests. The Literature Temple is Vietnam's first university, while the mausoleum is a significant historical attraction.
