Vitamin Home Hoan Kiem 35

The location is great, and you get what you pay for. Still, the photos show big rooms with kitchens and things like that, while the room we got had a mouldy bathroom door and felt a bit damp.

The room was very basic and more worn than it looked in the photos. At night the street is really loud, and music from the coffee shop below woke me early. The location is good, but there’s better accommodation in the city for the same price. The cleaner was abrupt and seemed unhappy about giving me change. It wasn’t even a large amount, and she didn’t give me the right change back.

The room was dirty throughout: walls, sheets that didn’t smell fresh, aircon, toilet and bathroom. There was noise from the street and from inside the building very early in the morning, and I couldn’t sleep a single night. I was meant to stay seven nights, but left after five. The listing said there was a balcony, and my room had none. For me, it was a big nope.

I liked this apartment enough to add another night. It’s beautiful, very clean and well equipped, with everything close by and the lovely old town nearby too. The space is used really well, and it has everything you need. Highly recommended.
