The Golden Sun Palace is an 18-room boutique hotel located on a quiet street in Hanoi's Old Quarter. This value hotel is within walking distance of several restaurants and shops. The charming rooms can be small and some lack windows, like many in the Old Quarter, and they feature with fine wood floors, homey white furniture, air-conditioning, large flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel serves a good free breakfast in a quaint lower-level dining area on site, while the small lounge above the lobby has free computers for guest use. Travelers looking for larger guest rooms might want to check out the hotel's sister property, Golden Sun Suites, which has slightly higher rates and is right next door.

The upper-middle-range Hanoi Tirant Hotel is one of the larger properties in Hanoi's Old Quarter. While most hotels in this area have no facilities, the upscale Hanoi Tirant has a small rooftop swimming pool, a tiny gym, and even a stylish rooftop bar and restaurant with the best views in the entire neighborhood. The 80 modern rooms here have wooden floors and furniture, and all rooms come with computers, flat-screen TVs, and decorative glass-wall bathrooms. Located right in the heart of the Old Quarter, the hotel is as convenient as it gets for restaurants, bars, shops, and tourist sights. The Tirant is definitely a cut above most of the surrounding competition, although it's also priced slightly above the rest. The rooms are not better than some others in the area (like the Calypso Grand), but the extra facilities are worth it.

The Tu Linh Legend Hotel is a 26-room budget hotel that sits at the edge of Hanoi's Old Quarter. While Standard Rooms are tiny, higher category rooms offer more space and windows, and all rooms have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning. Rooms are spotlessly clean, but there is a bit of wear throughout. The hotel has a cheery restaurant that serves a free breakfast, and there's a travel desk in the lobby for help with any bookings and tickets. While the Tu Linh isn't as nice as the nearby Calypso Grand or Charming 2, it is slightly cheaper and a good value option for an inexpensive stay near Hanoi's main tourist area.

A practical and pleasant option for city explorers, the three-pearl Hanoi Charm Hotel offers up a good location in a fairly quiet area in Hanoi's bustling Old Quarter. Guests have easy access to the night market, Hoan Kiem Lake, shops, and eateries, all in walking distance. The property's 30 rooms and suites are well-sized, clean, and contemporary (if somewhat generic) with dark wood floors, big windows, and up-to-date amenities like minibars, coffee/tea-makers, and free Wi-Fi. There's a tiny reception area and restaurant where a free cooked-to-order breakfast is served, but little else in the way of property features. Travelers looking for more on-site amenities might consider the nearby Golden Silk Boutique Hotel, though it tends to be pricier.

Essence Palace Hotel is a mid-range boutique property in the Old Quarter, a short walk from cafes, galleries, and shopping. This is one of the more atmospheric parts of Hanoi, and it's hard to beat the five-minute walk to Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple. The hotel has an intimate atmosphere with stylish interiors, and a well-regarded Vietnamese restaurant that serves a breakfast buffet. The 25 contemporary rooms feature a wide range of amenities, including free welcome fruit baskets, in-room laptops, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with a range of channels. Travelers might want to compare rates with the nearby Hanoi La Siesta, which has an on-site spa, fitness center, and movie-screening room, though rates there will be predictably higher.

The Hanoi Elegance Diamond is an upscale boutique hotel that sits on a side street just off of Hoan Kiem Lake. It is a quiet spot, with easy access to the restaurants, bars, shops, and sights of the Old Quarter in five minutes on foot. The hotel's 34 stylish rooms are decorated with handsome wallpaper accent walls, wood floors, and plush velvet cushions, and come with modern amenities like free laptops, DVD players, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel has a small spa, as well as a rooftop restaurant and bar with excellent views of the lake and Hanoi (plus an outstanding free breakfast). Prices here are comparable to nearby Old Quarter properties like the Tirant Hotel, yet the Elegance Diamond offers larger and nicer rooms, though it lacks the Tirant's pool.

The Calypso Grand Hotel is an excellent mid-range boutique hotel located at the edge of Hanoi's tourist-heavy Old Quarter. It offers 17 sparkling and stylish rooms, with French colonial accents, free computers, free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake and there are hundreds of restaurants, bars, and shops to choose from in every direction. Features aren't deep here, but the staff go above and beyond to arrange tours and transport (and they speak fluent English to boot!). The dapper rooms are far more spacious, elegant, and cheaper than the nearby Art Trendy and Elegance Ruby hotels. This is one of the best values available in one of Hanoi's most popular neighborhoods.

Smart and sophisticated, the four-pearl Ann Hanoi Hotel is an ideal choice for travelers who prefer to stay slightly outside the hustle and bustle of central Hanoi, with major sights still a jaunt or taxi ride away. The hotel’s 108 rooms are spacious and refined with mini-fridges stocked with soft drinks, LED TVs, electric kettles, and bathrooms featuring tubs with rainfall showers. Apartments and suites are also available. Winning features include a well-liked Vietnamese restaurant and breakfast buffet (which can cost extra), a bar and lounge, and a health club with a rooftop pool, sauna, whirlpool, and spacious gym. Room service is available 24 hours, too. Those hoping to be closer to French Quarter sights might prefer staying in Hilton Hanoi Opera, though rooms here tend to be more dated.

The 12-room Hanoi Elite Hotel is a mid-range property located in a small, quiet alleyway in the middle of Hanoi's historic Old Quarter. Rooms are bright and cheery, with free laptop computers, flat-screen TVs, and HD Home Movie systems, but all rooms are tiny and lack views. The hotel's only facility is a breakfast restaurant serving the hotel's free breakfast, but there is room service from a nearby restaurant, and tons of restaurants and bars right around the corner. While rooms are not nearly as charming as at hotels like the Calypso Grand or Charming 2, the Elite is far more central, just steps from the happening Walking Street pub and party area.

The luxury Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is located in the popular French Quarter, a four-minute walk from both the Opera House and Hoan Kiem Lake. The 364 guest rooms are beautifully designed with French-inspired accents, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Suites add a 24-hour butler service. Three bars and three restaurants, ranging from French, Vietnamese, and Italian cuisine, are available. There's a buffet breakfast each morning, though this is not included in all room rates. Highlights include the outdoor swimming pool and full spa and fitness center. Business travelers will appreciate the six meeting rooms, event spaces, and a business center. There's little else available in this category in Hanoi, but the JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi offers a close second in terms of luxury, service, and features.
