Hanoi Lion Boutique Hotel & Spa

The Hanoi Lion Boutique Hotel rounds out the Old Quarter boutique series with a room that feels noticeably more generous in space than some of the tighter properties covered earlier. Plenty of room to move around the bed, good storage below the closet for bags, hangers, robes, a safe, and additional space alongside the bed for personal items. Bedside outlets and in-room temperature control are practical details that add to the comfort. A separate desk area provides a dedicated workspace rather than a combined surface. The wall art and overall decor give the room a warmer feel than the more neutral boutique interiors in the series.

One detail worth calling out: an air purifier was present in the room — an uncommon amenity in this category and useful for guests sensitive to air quality.

The bathroom is compact with limited counter space, but covers everything needed — toilet with bum gun, a separate shower area with rain shower head, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and toiletries provided.

The lobby has a bar for guests who want a drink without heading out into the neighborhood. Breakfast is served in a spacious dining room with a buffet of hot food — kept properly hot, steaming up the camera — alongside salads, porridge-style dishes, noodles, cereal, and fruit. An à la carte menu at the table adds eggs, noodles, and premium breakfast beverages for an additional fee. Coffee and tea available throughout.
