We had the pleasure of staying there several times thru June '09. We stayed in 4 different rooms within the hotel, with trips to Ha Long Bay, HCMC, Da Nang/Hoi An in between. All rooms were equally clean, tidy and well presented, and appeared the same as seen in the online pics. The Golden Sun's location is perfect! Hang Hanh... more

I stayed at the Golden Sun at 23 Hang Hanh on June 4th and 5th. There are three of them so I can only speak of this one. The service at this hotel is fantastic. All of the staff were very helpful but I have to give special mention to Thao who went far and above what I expected. Among... more

We had a very pleasant stay here! The room was spotlessly clean and quite spacious. It had big windows and a big screen tv. The staff was the most friendly and helpful we've met on our trip! Breakfast was included and there was free internet. It's located close to the lake and the street is pretty quiet. This room was... more

We stayed at the Golden Sun three (3) times during our recent visit to Vietnam, using the hotel as our main base whilst travelling to other places. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the standard of accommodation of this hotel. Very close to the shopping within the Old Quarter and located in a street wtih great food... more

We did not stay at the Golden Sun hotel, but were instead led to its sister hotel 2 doors down. I'm not quite sure why as they gave a pretty vague excuse, but we didn't mind as the 3 of us had rooms on the same floor. Rooms are basic and clean. Inadequate water pressure though .. as my friend... more

Golden Sun Hotel is a petite boutique hotel right in the heart of the Old Quarter / Hoan Kiem District of Hanoi. A few paces from a number of attractions - including the water puppet theater, Hoan Kiem lake, St Joseph Cathedral - the hotel makes a good base for exploring the city. Rooms are meticulously and tastefully appointed, and... more
