La Dolce Vita Hotel

In the last couple of years, we have Ben nervous about G Adventures accommodation but things improved with this start in Hanoi. The hotel is not new but reasonably maintained with nice staff. The room was spacious and perfectly adequate. The only small downside was a small breakfast room which was pretty packed when a couple of groups descended in the morning. No real problem though.

Nice stay here. Service was great! The rooms are clean. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure too. Beds were moderately comfortable. Room was basic, but that’s ok. Breakfast was incredible and the lady running it was always on top of things. I really liked the location. I would stay here again.

Hotel was very nice when you walk in and it had a really nice perfume in the lobby. Staff was very nice. I stayed on the 8th floor and didn’t know how the shower worked so I would end up flooding the bathroom but it would rain itself a few hours later. Ask how to drain the shower! Shower pressure was also nice. There’s no elevator to the 8th floor so I got some exercise getting off the 7th floor to take the stairs up. The AC does work once you figure out how to work it. Would stay here again since it was in the middle of the city. Breakfast was fine, don’t expect too much.

We had a brief stay at the hotel at the start of our tour of wonderful Vietnam so it was adequate for a one night stop but the rooms are in need of an upgrade. The breakfast was fine but the breakfast room was not big enough to cater for the number of guests. The location of the hotel was its biggest asset.

THIS hotel is a lovely little gem! Tucked in on a busy side street of Hanoi, The Dolce Vita is a little hotel with a big heart. Listed as a traditional three star- the hotel staff strives to provide a five star personal experience. The hotel is well located, clean, close to walkable attractions, and comfortably appointed. With that said, what makes it stand apart is the staff, most notably Anthony the hotel manager. From his pleasant greeting, to solid recommendations for restaurants (there is a Michelin Star Street Food restaurant right around the corner that he recommended!) to helping us set up a tour, arranging a Cyclo Ride through Hanoi, delicious breakfast, it was one of my favorite hotels, from the many that we stayed with on our tour. The rooms could use some updating but nothing that detracts from the loveliness of the hotel overall. When I return to Hanoi, I will definitely stay here again, and look forward to seeing Anthony!

The bedrooms could do with a refurbishment. The bed linen and valance felt dirty as did the bathroom . We were on a tour with a group and we were glad we only had to stay here one night. It’s a shame because the hotel is in a great location. The staff were kind.
