Blue Hanoi Inn Hotel rents rooms near Hoan Kiem Lake, St. Joseph's Cathedral, and a pho restaurant. Restaurants, cafes, shops, and massage parlors are clustered nearby, making it easy to get around. Front desk staff are on site and store luggage, and rooms provide shampoo, soap, and toothbrushes. The elevator is small and slow, and soundproofing is weak, so noise from the hallway, lobby, and water use carries into the room.
