Hanoi Emerald Waters Hotel & Spa

Hanoi Emerald Waters Hotel & Spa is at 47 Lo Su Street in Hoan Kiem District, on the eastern side of Hanoi's Old Quarter, Vietnam, close to Hoan Kiem Lake. Lo Su is a lively street of cafes and small shops, and the lake, the Ngoc Son Temple, the water puppet theatre and the night market are all within a short walk, so the hotel suits first-time visitors who want to explore on foot. The property is a family-run boutique-chain hotel known for balcony rooms, in-house spa treatments and generous breakfasts. Room categories include Superior, Deluxe Balcony, Premium and Family Rooms, and the balcony rooms give a view over the street life below. A restaurant and bar serve breakfast and light meals, and the breakfast is frequently praised for its variety. The in-house spa offers massage and treatments, a welcome option after long days of walking. Other services include a concierge that arranges tours to Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh, laundry, free Wi-Fi and airport transfers. Service is warm and personal, in the style of a family business, and the staff are used to advising first-time visitors on routes, food and transport. Rates run from about 900,000 to 2,000,000 VND (roughly $35 to $77) per night, with a guest rating of around 4.6. The hotel is a good fit for couples, families and independent travellers seeking value in the heart of the Old Quarter. As with other Old Quarter properties, street noise can be present at night, so guests sensitive to noise may prefer an upper-floor or rear room.
