The Essence brand is a chain of hotels that have branches peppered around Hanoi. We had initially booked to stay at the Ruby hotel but due to a booking complication that occurred, we were transferred to their new Happy hotel for the remainder of our stay. The hotel manager at Ruby was superb at ensuring that we felt welcome and... More

The Essence Hotel in Hanoi provided some of the best and personal service we've encountered in all our travels. Not only was our room very comfortable and the breakfast wonderful, but the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and went out of their way to take good care of us. We arrived in Hanoi in the late afternoon, expecting to catch... More

I don't think it's possible to say enough good things about this hotel! My mum and I stayed here for 2 nights before leaving for a night for a Halong Bay overnight cruise and then returned to Essence for 1 further night. We stayed in a deluxe twin which seemed like an absolute bargain at approx £50 per night. The... More

We stayed in the Essence Hotel for our final night in Hanoi. Having previously stayed in the Elite Hotel, the Essence, part of the same group, matched up to our expectations. We were greeted with fresh juice on arrival and checked in to our rooms. The room was lovely and a really good size. The breakfast was delicious offering an... More

This would have to be the best place we have ever stayed! It is a small hotel but the service is amazing ! The staff were incredibly helpful lead by Dung - nothing was too much trouble. Too often when you stay at a hotel, you are just paying for a bed but this was an experience. If we needed... More

As a frequent traveller, Hanoi Essence has set a new benchmark in terms of service. This included email follow-up from our booking within 48 hours, organisation of day trip to Halong Bay, train travel to Sapa and airport transfers. All of which were managed exceptionally. Our interconnecting rooms were fantastic for a family - and very quiet. Location of the... More

From arranging the car to pick us up from the airport all the way through our 3 night stay in Hanoi, the hotel staff were friendly, polite and courteous. The rooms were very well specced and comfortable, the laptop in each room being a nice way to stay in touch and post those pictures so those left back home can... More

Great location to walk to anywhere in Hanoi. Amazing breakfast which includes both a la carte and a buffet. Very nice rooms though the showers is not the best. Great restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

This was the last part of our Vietnamese holiday - three nights in Hanoi. This hotel was chosen from the hundreds in Hanoi on the internet and I'm so happy I chose it.

Excellent stay for 4 nights with one night in between at Halong Bay. Staff were friendly and remembered details about our trip. Organised things for us like postage, airport pick up, luggage storage. Restaurant had great quality food at affordable prices. Breakfast was delicious. Would recommend this hotel.
