Hotels near Truc Back Lake, Hanoi

Location - located on the western end of the Old Quarter. Closer to the HCM Masoleum, North Gate, Catholic Church, Tran Ngoc Pagoda. Takes about 30mins to walk to other end of the Old Quarter. Nice in the cool Hanoi weather. Hotel is located along a busy road, so expect traffic noise and honking at night. Room - I got a room facing the road and another building. So I had my window blind down the whole time. The room is a good size, but one side of the bed is against the wall and window so access is from the other sides. The bed is bigger than queen size, and is softer than I'd like but still comfortable. The bed in my room was on a platform that extended to the open closet section. So I had to climb up to the platform (about 40cm) to retrieve the clothes I had hung. Not great for older people. I think they have other rooms without the platform. Cleanliness - very clean, awesome Bathroom - the shower and toilet area are in the same large space. So the shower water gets the toilet wet. I moved the toilet paper roll to the shelf at the rear so that it wouldn't get wet. Bathroom is modern and water pressure is sufficient. Sink is outside the bathroom. Breakfast - for a small-ish hotel, there is a substantial breakfast spread with an egg station. I was impressed. Other things - 1) there is a community area outside the rooms with a fridge and TV so I guess it could noisy if people hung out there. 2) I paid a cash deposit of 500k VND which was returned when I checked out. A bit of a surprise. 3) There are no slopes at Vietnam hotel entrances so you'll need to carry your bag up some stairs to the front lobby. 4) The very loud fire alarm went off twice during my stay although there was no fire. The receptionist said the smoke detector was over-sensitive with the cooking fumes.

Great location great cleaness and great service. Absolute top service at a very cheap price. 10/10 would definitely recommend

The room was nice and clean. Good modern security system. However the TV was not working at the time due to connectivity issues with the internet. The room is basic.

We loved our stay here that we booked again after we came back from Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island! The location is very strategic as it is near the Hang Dau Water Tower and the night market street along the Train Street. The rooms are big and clean, with necessary facilities. The breakfast is really good! The service is amazing, especially the front desk help us arrange our trip to Halong Bay/Lan Ha Bay/Cat Ba Island; they are really helpful! Thank you for accommodating us! If I go back to Hanoi, I will stay here again! Cam on! ^_^

Great location (about 20min walk from the old quarter), clean and relatively new studio. There is filtered water available, and the staff was friendly and responsive. The bed was comfortable and the place clean. Hot water was working well and there is AC and washing machine. The internet is a bit slow and although there is a stove, there are no kitchen equipment or tools to cook. Only a kettle and 2 glasses. Plenty of restaurants and markets nearby and in a local part, which is nice.

A cozy aparthotel, everything is new. Conveniently located. Many thanks to the hostess for checking us in early in the morning at no extra charge.

Comfortable Stay with Helpful Staff and Great Location We stayed here for two nights and arrived very early, around 5 a.m. The lobby was quiet, and the staff welcomed us warmly and assisted with our booking confirmation. They kindly offered an early check-in voucher, which we appreciated, but we chose to check in at the regular time instead. Our room was on the 6th floor facing the road and matched the photos shown during booking. It was clean and well maintained, and the bathroom and bathtub were in good condition. The room was equipped with a hair dryer, umbrella, bathrobe, slippers, amenities, toiletries, a safety deposit box, and complimentary drinks (no complimentary snacks). The view was limited, as another building blocked most of it. We used the breakfast and the small gym but skipped the swimming pool due to the weather. Breakfast was served on the 12th floor, and we chose a window seat overlooking the lake, which offered a lovely view. The food selection was quite good. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Daniel, Jason, and especially Sophie—she was exceptionally kind and supportive during our stay. The hotel’s location is quite strategic. Just a few meters away is their sister property, Le Jardin, and right next door there is an excellent pho restaurant with Michelin recognition at an affordable price—a must try. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and have no complaints. Thank you for the great hospitality.

The front desk service was excellent 👍. Whatever you need, you can just tell them. They speak fluent English, and some staff can speak a little Mandarin. It's relatively quiet, not close to the Old Town, but there are good places to eat near the hotel. I would definitely come back next time.

I had an excellent stay at Five Suites Lilacs. For the usual room price, I received a spacious suite with a living room and bedroom, plus a smart swivel TV usable from both spaces. The bathroom featured a smart toilet and clean, well-stocked shower. The staff were genuinely warm and even surprised me with a birthday cake, which made the stay special. Breakfast was decent, though the overall experience easily outshines that detail. A memorable stay with great value — highly recommended.

I had a good stay overall and I recommend it.
