Clean, but hard bed.

Spent one night here -- an OK hotel with good location and helpful staff. The bed was pretty hard, and the room smelled liked incense -- but it was clean and serviceable. Breakfast was so-so.

Limpio pero cama muy dura

Pasé una noche aquí - un hotel que está bien con una buena ubicación y un personal servicial. La cama era muy dura y la habitación olía como a incienso pero estaba limpia y servible. El desayuno así,así.

Hong Ngoc no está mal

Sólo pasamos un día de diciembre en el Hong Ngoc y desde luego que dispone de un ascensor junto al comedor. Nos gustó el hotel, que cuenta con acceso gratuito a Internet (aunque lento) y un buen desayuno bufé. Las habitaciones que dan a la fachada son luminosas pero muy ruidosas, con todos esos cláxones de las motocicletas, es mejor que utilices tapones para los oídos, al menos hasta media noche. Las habitaciones de atrás son oscuras y un poco deprimentes, pero todo está limpio y con bonitos cuartos de baño y muebles. El personal siempre está dispuesto a ayudar. No llegué a ver ninguna hormiga.

Hong Ngoc just fine

We just stayed at the Hong Ngoc 1 in December, and it certainly did have an elevator--off of the dining room. We liked the hotel, which had free internet (although slow) and a nice buffet breakfast. The front rooms are light but very noisy with all the motorbike horns--use earplugs, at least until the middle of the night. The back rooms are dark and a little depressing. But all are clean and with nice bathrooms and furniture. The staff is very willing to help. I didn't see any ants.

L'Hong Ngoc va bene

Siamo stati al Hong Ngoc 1 in dicembre e devo dire che l'ascensore c'era... ma era in sala da pranzo. L'hotel ci è piaciuto, internet era gratis, anche se la connessione era lenta, e c'era una bella colazione a buffet. Le camere sul davanti sono piene di luce, ma molto rumorose con tutti quei clacson delle motociclette: dovrete usare i tappi per le orecchie almeno fino a notte inoltrata. Le camere sul retro sono buie e un po' deprimenti. Ma sono tutte pulite e con un bel bagno e dei bei mobili. Il personale è sempre a vostra disposizione. Non ho visto le formiche.

Pulito, ma il letto è duro

Ho passato una notte qui: l'hotel non è male, l'ubicazione è buona e il personale premuroso. Il letto era veramente duro e la camera puzzava d'incenso, ma era pulita e funzionale. La colazione era così così.

Nice and friendly, but lack of elevator

This hotel was very nice, and had an even nicer staff. The hotel is located right in the heart of the French Quarter, and by tons of good restraurants (although the Garden Restaurant next door is no good, so venture out just a bit farther). The pizza place just down the street is wonderful, and has a mean lunch buffet special.... Pepperionis is the name.

As far as the room went, well... the bathroom had tiny ants crawling around, but i didnt see any outside the bathroom. Other than the not so nice bathroom (small shower, no good sink), the room was clean, and had surdy furniture and a nice feel to it. Small beds, though.

Warning to those who hate stairs..... this hotel has no elevator, and has nearly 8 floors. So beware if you plan to stay here, and request a room on a low floor. The stairs get a bit tiring to walk up. But if you dont mind stairs, it does offer a charm to the old style of the hotel.

This hotel has a wonderful buffet breakfast included in the price, as well as free internet. If you dont mind a few ants, stay here.

Très bon hôtel

Nous avons passé quelques jours dans cet hôtel l'été dernier, et il nous laisse un excellent souvenir, le meilleur de tous les hôtels que nous avons connus au Vietnam.

Nous sommes arrivés vers minuit avec deux enfants en bas âge. Nous avions réservé une chambre double, mais le réceptionniste nous a dit que nous serions à l'étroit et nous a proposé très gentiment une suite pour le même prix (environ 45 euros). Elle est spacieuse et très joliment décorée, avec un mobilier chinois tout en bois qui lui donne beaucoup de cachet . L'hôtel est situé au centre ville, et ne nous a pas paru bruyant. Le buffet du petit déjeûner est bon et assez varié, pain, petits gâteaux, fruits et plats locaux. Un ordinateur avec une connexion Internet gratuite est à disposition de tous à l'entrée de l'hôtel. Nous avons tellement apprécié l'accueil et le reste, que nous y sommes retournés en fin de séjour. On nous a réservé cette même suite, et on nous a laissé y prendre une douche le dernier soir, alors même que nous avions déjà quitté la chambre et réglé la note.

A Find

Our Vietnam based travel agent booked us into this hotel and could not have been more pleased. Clean, nicely decorated with balcony, spacious room & bath with friendly, helpful staff.

Very Highly Recommended

We stayed at the Hong Ngoc hotel the last few days of our trip to SE Asia and were really taken with the place. It was definitely the best value of any hotel we stayed in during our three week vacation. The huge double room included lovely, classy furniture (even a large round table for room service and writing desk)...all exquisite, esp. for a hotel in this price range. The buffet breakfast, included in the price, was delightful, and in the evenings, the restaurant features live traditional Vietnamese music. There is no such thing as a quiet room in the old city of Ha Noi, perhaps, so don't expect it - but we were on the 5th floor, and it wasn't so bad (as our previous hotel, anyway). And the staff: outstanding! Friendly, gractious, will bend over backwards to insure a good stay.
