O'Gallery Majestic Hotel & Spa

O'Gallery Majestic Hotel & Spa is at 38 Tran Phu Street in Ba Dinh District, beside the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and close to Hanoi's Train Street. The location is quieter and more historic than the Old Quarter, and it suits travellers who want to visit the Citadel, Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and the Temple of Literature area. The Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake are a short taxi ride away. The hotel is a boutique sister property to the O'Gallery Premier, and it offers colonial-styled rooms in a small, personal setting. Room types include Deluxe, Premium and Junior Suite rooms and Family Rooms, with rates from about 1,300,000 to 2,900,000 VND per night. A spa provides massage and treatments, and a small rooftop pool gives guests a place to cool off in Hanoi, Vietnam's humid climate. There is also a restaurant, a bar and a fitness room, and the hotel provides a concierge desk, laundry service and airport transfer. Service is friendly and hands-on, with staff who can help arrange excursions and transport. The property suits couples, families and travellers who want a boutique atmosphere with easier access to the Citadel district than the Old Quarter offers. Street noise can be lower than in the busiest lanes, though the nearby railway line means occasional train sounds. Guests keen on photography of the famous Train Street should check local rules on access, as they change from time to time, and ask the staff for current guidance. The rooftop pool is small, so it suits a quick swim rather than extended lounging.
