  1. Welcome Anise Hotel Ha Noi!!!
    - This is a great hoitel for the price. It is clean, rooms are fine and staff are most friendly. The only dis-advantage for me is the location. It is at the boundary of the old quarter which is no problem during day but more so at night. Having said that I have nothing but compliments for this hotel.
