I already live in Hanoi, but I needed a staycation to clear my mind. I took 2 weeks and stayed at 4 different places. I wish I had spent the entire two weeks at Golden Silk Boutique Hotel. It's easy to find. Great location near Hoan Kiem Lake. That means there are plenty of food options available as well as scenic walks, art galleries, and plenty of space to move around. I took a walk around the lake every day. Let me just say I am extraordinarily appreciative of Emily and her staff for the hospitality they showed me, from the moment I checked in until I left, (after extending my original booking). They helped me find exactly what I needed. I needed a quiet, spacious, and inspiring place to write and that is exactly what I was offered. The hotel is gorgeous. My room was gorgeous. The included breakfast was fabulous. My large balcony view made all the difference when I needed a change of perspective from my comfortable desk space. The large king bed was comfortable and the pillows were just right. But all that is the easy part. It's not hard to spend the dollars to outfit a room. The Staff was probably the best part of my stay. The room was absolutely perfect, but the staff was the best complement to it. Even if the room was just average (again, it was perfect, btw), the staff would have made it more than worth the stay. I'm currently backpacking around the world. I've been in Vietnam since Covid. Of all the places I've booked. This is now in my top 3. I will for sure return for another staycation and I think you'd do yourself well to think about the same sort of getaway. You know you need it.

Honestly can't think of a damn thing. I even extended an extra day just because the place was so perfectly suited for exactly what I needed.

This is a great hotel in the middle of the Old Quarter. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We loved our barman! This is our 2nd stay here and is great value for money and it is good to stay in a smaller hotel.

The restaurant is not open for dinner but there are lots of options nearby.

Room was super since we got an upgrade to the presidential suite. Location was as expected.

Breakfast was on the low rate, the neighborhood was very noisy and crowded although you couldn't find food after 10pm

great location - just a quick stroll to Hoan Kiem lake and plenty of good eating options close by.

we had standard rooms to begin with and they were a little shabbier than the last two pre pandemic times I stayed at the Golden Silk. We upgraded for our last night and loved that room.

Good location to access. The room is clean and enough space to stay. Friendly staffs. Delicious breakfast I can choose Vietnamese cuisine or something.

Bathroom smells a little, but I can close the door.

Perfect location and good value for money. This is my third time staying at GS so that's an endorsement.

Luxury room was fabulous, standard room perhaps a little shabby.

Room was nice and clean, breakfast was fantastic. Staff were attentive. Highly recommended!

Prices were a little high, but well worth the stay.

Hotel was clean, staff were generally friendly and hotel breakfast was decent.

Bathroom had a bidet. Great location around Old Quarter. Massage place across the hotel is good. Rooftop view is beautiful. Breakfast was delicious.

People there very kind and helpful

Noise and smells coming from streets into my room as windows are not double glazed.
