The Anise is in a great location and close to the old quarter. My room was spacious, very comfortable and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and was served on the 11th floor giving you a view over Hanoi. I found a wonderful restaurant by turning right as you leave the hotel and walking about... more

This is a fantastic, new hotel at a very convenient price. It has a wonderfull breakdast at the top floor and a very friendly staff. Is not in the old quarter but is very close and this is an advantage. more

Convenient hotel for Hanoi on a main street (easy to find) that is a few blocks from the old quarter and the lake. Well-maintained with clean, cozy, modernly-furnished rooms. Good service from staff. Delicious breakfast. more

My friend and I stayed at the Anise from Feb. 10 - 18th. The location is great! Close to the Old Quarter and walking distance to the lake.

We (2married couples) stayed at the Anise in November 2008 just after floods. We found it to be a vey good budget hotel. It is very close to the Old Quarter...just across the road...a challenge in itself !! Found the staff very friendly and eager to help. Our rooms were on the 6th floor and had windows and were very... more

Great location at the top of the Old Quarter without being in the Old Quarter. Very clean accommodation with great service. The only thing that we weren't too fond of was the doormen who seemed very disinterested. They have a good coffee shop/bar downstairs and a reasonable restaurant upstairs. Room was nice enough without being anything special. No windows and... more

We, being 2 adults and 4 children stayed at the Anise for 5 nights in three deluxe rooms which means you have a window and a bit higher up. This accomodation came as part of the flight and hotel deal from Vietnam Airlines. The Anise was clean, tidy and staff helpful. The breakfast was very good. Our rooms were modern... more
