Was dropped off about 200 meters away and took the culture shock of Hanoi immediately. After stepping through the street people (too hot for people to stay inside so its normal just to spread along the kerbs etc) with some helpful pointers, I managed to find the hotel down a narrow deadend lane. What a relief to step inside the... More

I stayed in Paramount hotel for 2 nights. Hotel is awesome. Great location in Old Quarter (just 2 minutes by feet to cathedral), however it was a little hard to find it. There is good and friendly staff. I had returning flight on late evening, so even 6 hours after my check out I could take a free shower in... More

Although other reviewers may have been disappointed with this hotel, we stayed at other budget hotels in this price range in Hanoi's Old Quarter and this was definitely the best. The rooms are clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The free wifi works well. The bathrooms could use a little updating, but at least had enclosed showers (whereas other budget... More
