Hotels in Hanoi — Book & Earn Cashback

The Old Quarter for a first visit — it is where the atmosphere and the street food are, it is walkable to Hoan Kiem Lake, and it has hotels at every price. It is also loud from early morning, so if that matters, the French Quarter around the lake is a few minutes away and calmer. Tay Ho by West Lake is the most relaxed option and the furthest out.

Two or three covers the city itself — the Old Quarter, the lake, the Temple of Literature and a museum. Most people then use it as a base for Ha Long Bay or Ninh Binh, which adds a night or two each, so four to five nights around Hanoi is a common shape for a northern Vietnam trip.

October and November are dry, mild and clear, and the most comfortable months. Unlike southern Vietnam, Hanoi has a real winter — December to February is cool to cold and often grey with fine drizzle. May to September is hot, humid and wet, with the lowest room rates.

They are genuinely different cities. Hanoi is older, cooler in climate, more compact and more traditional, with the Old Quarter and the northern mountains behind it. Ho Chi Minh City is hotter, larger, faster and more commercial, and is the base for the Mekong Delta. Many trips do both, connected by a short flight or the long train down the coast.

Hanoi is inexpensive by regional standards, with a deep supply of small family-run hotels in the Old Quarter alongside restored colonial properties and international brands near the lake. Rates are highest in the October to November window. The list on this page is priced live for your dates, so you are seeing real figures rather than an estimate.

Yes — the rate is shown on each property before you book, exactly as it is everywhere else on DerLeng Free. It is credited to your balance as LENG after your stay, and you can hold it, convert it to USDC, or cash it out. You pay for the room normally.
