Mr Jackie Lee and his team went above and beyond with the help and information they gave us, could not have done anything more!! We had read the reviews and we are two of many people that have been lucky to have been so fortunate to have this kindness given at the start of our travels in Vietnam. The hotel clean and comfortable with a good choice of breakfast options. A prefect stay and we would highly recommend it!!

Unfortunately during my stay of 3 days i was sick. The staff were most accommodating in allowing a late check out and arranged my taxi to airport. The breakfast service was excellent. I only wish there had of been a kettle in the room to make a hot drink.

A breath of serenity
Hotel staffs are always welcoming and helpful: allowing earlier check at 6am. It meant the world to me after such a long bus ride that was too crammed. Breakfast is ok. You can order eggs and a bowl of pho from the kitchen. I would come here again because of the location and the staff here.

We loved staying at La Selva Central Hotel. Conveniently located near the lake, and in the Old Quarter, close to everything including restaurants, shopping, the puppet theatre, the French Quarter. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and it includes a very good breakfast. The staff are wonderful! Nothing is too much trouble. They are friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. The manager, Mr Jackie, is always available via WhatsApp. He organised wonderful tours for us and even checked in with us while we were away to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again.

But absolutely the best … concierge ‘Jackie Le’ I’m retired world traveler last 25 years … never meet anyone better at their job… way above the call of duty

Breakfast on site had very options (Vietnamese and western) and we overall enjoyed everything we tried. Lastly, staff was very courteous and helpful. Definitely recommend.

The rooms as tidy and comfortable the decor is a tad rough around the edges but the room was clean and tidy. The amenities in the hotel are all you need. The location is fantastic close walk to everything and right by the lake for easy direction. Breakfast was made fresh on request and the staff very friendly. This is a fantastic value for money hotel and would return

Lovely small hotel in great location
This hotel is perfectly placed for exploring the old quarter. Although the rooms are compact, they are clean and comfortable and have everything you need. They provide free water and snacks each day and the hotel staff were all fantastic - they were really helpful and recommended good tours of the city. Nothing was too much trouble.

Better than a 5 star hotel - Perfection!
The service was excellent. The staff were helpful and knew us by name. They added personal touches to and made it feel like a 5 star hotel. Attention to detail was outstanding. They provided us a full guide of their favourite places to see and eat as well as a guide to Hoi An where we were headed next. They were helpful and thoughtful of all our needs. The hotel was beautiful and absolutely spotless. This hotel is better than any 5 star hotel I’ve stayed in and the location is perfect.

The staff at Hanoi La Selva were brilliant, in particular Lily on the front desk was super helpful. They really made our stay amazing, be it greeting you by name, the bell hop was always on hand to open and close the door and the breakfast staff were very attentive but at the same time not overpowering. The location for this hotel is great, right in the middle of the old quarter. Due to its location the rooms were expectadly on the smaller side but that didnt bother us as we spent most of our time out exploring! We will definitely stay here next time we visit Hanoi!!!

Friendly staff
Very friendly and helpful staff. Gave us a nice coffee gift when we left. Hotel is in a prime location close to the lake and within walking distance to bars and restaurants. The rooms were clean and had a great selection TV and movies to watch when you want some down time. Only drawback I would say is that the rooms are on the small side. The hotel is quite narrow. The bed was comfortable. Wasn't enough room for a nightstand beside the bed on a elevated platform. Kinda had to walk over the bed to get up. Add two backpacks into the room and it was a bit cramped. All in all it was more than comfortable for our two night stay. A older person may have trouble getting up as the bed is a mattress on a platform so you’re only a mattress thickness off the floor

The best thing about this hotel is its central location. It is literally steps away from the night market which takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. It is also just opposite a Circle K (convenience store) and a walking distance from the main attractions in Hanoi.

Cosy hotel with friendly staff
Hotel staff was very friendly, rooms were small but cosy and clean with all necessary items. The location is also great. The only minor negative thing, was that when you leave the key the minibar and AC also looses power so they won't keep the room or your drinks cold. Everything else was great I can highly recommend this hotel.
