My boyfriend told me that he would like us to go to Hanoi. All I know about Hanoi is that it is the capital of Vietnam. Actually, I had to check it on the net; I was not quite sure about it, as the name sounded very familiar. I am not fascinated with his idea, but he is so obsessed with it that he told me that he will go there with or without me. Now I am searching for some hotels there.
I wouldnt recommend Vietnam and Hanoi in August because the weather is humid and rainy. There are lots of good hotels there. The majority of them are in the old part of the city. However, I recommend those by the lakeside. Thien Thai is one of them. The rooms are spacious and tidy. Each room has its own bathroom. There is a satellite TV with more than 20 international channels. You can also find some devices for making tea or coffee there although you dont have to do it since you can have a cup of coffee at the hotel bar. What I appreciated most was the existence of a private safe. You can pay extra charge for a room with a balcony.
