The Hanoi Elegance Ruby is a mid-range boutique hotel that sits in a tiny alleyway in Hanoi's Old Quarter. It's near all the tourist sights and tons of restaurants and bars, in an ideal location. The 20 rooms here are small, with wood floors and bright decor, and have free laptops for use, plus rainfall showers in the bathrooms. The hotel lacks much beyond its small restaurant, which serves free breakfasts and then closes for the day. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful about the area, and can direct guests to favorite local spots. While the rooms are a bit more cramped and pricey than the nearby Art Trendy Hotel, they are still a good choice for an Old Quarter stay.

The Oriental Central Hotel is an upper-middle-range option with just 25 rooms located in the heart of Hanoi's historic Old Quarter just around the corner from the Walking Street bar area. Tasteful decor throughout includes black-and-white photos of old Hanoi, and small, modern rooms, have bright pops of color plus flat-screen TVs and minibars. As is standard for the neighborhood, the features here are slim, but include a great free breakfast and free Wi-Fi. There are hundreds of restaurants, bars, and shops in the neighborhood, and the hotel is well-located for reaching all of them, though guests will get more space at this hotel's sister property, the Oriental Suites Hotel, which has an on-site restaurant.

The Cheering Hotel is a small hotel located in a narrow traditional market lane in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. The alley that leads to the hotel is chaotic and crowded during the day, but quiet at night. There are only 17 rooms at the Cheering Hotel, and all are small and could do with a bit of an update, as there is not much separating them from nearby backpacker lodgings other than extra amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and hot water kettles, plus free laptops in the rooms. Only the highest category Deluxe rooms have windows. The hotel has a small breakfast area, but it doesn't serve any other food; fortunately, the location puts guests within easy reach of restaurants, bars, and shops. The best thing going for the place is the authentic slice of old Hanoi life that is right outside the door, but with the prices not too far below other nearby options like the Art Trendy or Calypso Grand, you may want to compare prices at other budget properties.

Opened in 2013, the 445-guest room JW Marriott Hanoi is one of the newer luxury hotels in Hanoi and aimed squarely at business travelers. The hotel is situated in an ultra-modern glass building located outside on the campus of the National Convention Center. Guest rooms and suites are spacious and light-filled; they have chic, contemporary decor and modern amenities like 42-inch flat-screens, DVD players, and iPod docks -- but in-room Wi-Fi incurs a fee. On-site features do not disappoint, and include three restaurants, an indoor lap pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and a spa. Guests in Executive Rooms and Suites enjoy free breakfast, snacks, and drinks in the Executive Lounge. InterContinental Hanoi Westlake is a comparable five-pearl alternative with similar amenities, including an outdoor pool and kids' pool.

The Hanoi Pearl Hotel is a mid-range hotel with a convenient location on a quiet street in the city's Old Quarter. It's close to shopping and dining, and within walking distance of popular attractions, including Hoan Kiem Lake. The 70 rooms have a traditional style and feature air-conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, though keep in mind that some rooms lack windows. Connecting rooms are available, which isn't common with smaller hotels in the area. The rooftop bar is a great spot, and the outside garden terrace is a hidden gem, with its views over the lake.

The Boss Legend Hotel is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel that opened in 2014 in the Old Quarter, a short walk from Hoan Kiem Lake. It has the space constraints common to other hotels in the densely packed area, but manages to have a full range of facilities, including an indoor pool, spa, and a bamboo-decorated restaurant with a rooftop terrace. Its 80 guest rooms are on the large side, and have contemporary decor with minibars and 40-inch flat-screen TVs, but some rooms face a dark interior courtyard. Upgraded units have more lavish bathrooms with jetted tubs, or chic soaking tubs. Travelers looking for a trendier, more upscale stay should compare rates at the Serene Boutique Hotel & Spa, one of the best hotels in Hanoi.

One of the few true upscale properties in central Hanoi, Apricot Hotel stands out among its competitors. That's not only for its superb location -- within a 10-minute walk of shopping and close to Hoan Kiem Lake -- but also for its beautiful, classic style. The attention to detail is excellent, with classic artistic touches throughout the building. The 123 rooms feature large flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, with some top-end rooms offering private terraces. Many have fantastic views over the lake and city, but it's worth noting that Sketch Rooms look only onto the interior courtyard. A rooftop pool is a nice addition and there's a spa, plus a rather small gym. A look at the Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi would be a worthwhile comparison, which is close to high-end shopping.
