First Eden Hotel - Hang Bun

We stayed at this hotel as part of a tour in Vietnam. While the hotel was fairly clean and the staff were polite, the overall experience was quite unusual. We arrived in Vietnam at midnight and reached the hotel around 1am. The entire lobby was in complete darkness, making it difficult for even our bus driver to locate the entrance. When we finally got in, we found the staff asleep on the floor and sofas in the reception area. They quickly got up and were helpful, but it was definitely unexpected and not something we’ve experienced before. After checking in, some of us wanted to head out to find a nearby minimart, but we discovered the front doors were locked and the reception team had gone back to sleep. We were essentially locked inside, which felt very strange and a bit unsettling. The rooms were basic but in need of a more thorough clean — the floors and cabinet edges were quite dusty. On our second night, the room had been serviced, but the blanket was tucked in upside down, which left us confused. Breakfast was simple and adequate, with a small range of Western and Asian options, though nothing stood out. On the positive side, the hotel is in a strategic location with plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the area much easier and more enjoyable. In summary, the hotel is okay for a short stay if you're not expecting too much — it’s clean enough, in a great location, but the service and overall experience could definitely be improved.

This hotel allows teachers to take students to practice singing and dancing in their rooms until late at night. The reception staff asked us to change rooms in the middle of the night. It was a very bad stay and couldn't sleep well for two nights in a row.

Nous avons passe 2 nuits dans cet hôtel de Hanoi. Un peu bruyant mais tout n'est que bruit à Hanoi. Demandez une chambre qui ne donne pas sur la rue. Petit déjeuner moyen pour les européens que nous sommes. Le personnel est toujours très serviable.
