O'Gallery Premier Hotel & Spa

O'Gallery Premier Hotel & Spa is at 122 Hang Bong Street in Hoan Kiem District, a short walk from St Joseph's Cathedral on the western side of the Old Quarter. Hoan Kiem Lake, the night market and many of the district's street food lanes are within walking distance, so the hotel is a practical base for first-time visitors to Hanoi, Vietnam. It belongs to the Oriental Hospitality Group and is styled as an art-filled boutique hotel, with artwork displayed in the public spaces and corridors. Room types include Deluxe and Premium rooms, Junior Suites and Family Rooms, with rates from about 1,300,000 to 2,900,000 VND per night, which is competitive for the level of finish. An in-house spa offers massage and treatments, and a small fitness room provides basic exercise equipment. Breakfast is served on a rooftop terrace, a pleasant spot for a first meal above the lane, and the hotel also has a restaurant and a bar. Concierge service, laundry and airport transfer are available. The staff are known for helpful trip planning, including tours to Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Sa Pa, and the hotel suits couples, families and small groups who want a boutique feel at a mid-range price. The surrounding streets are busy and can be noisy, but the compact size of the property makes for a personal experience. Guests who value design, a central location and a rooftop breakfast often choose it over larger chain hotels. Family Rooms provide extra space for travellers with children.
