Are you looking for a place to stay in Hanoi? Whether it’s a hotel, bed and breakfast, ora private apartment, there are many options for the modern traveller, each with its own merits. The first step in compiling a list of potential accommodation options is to consider which temples and historical places you wish to see. The thousand-year-old city has monuments that are hundreds of years old, such as the Turtle Tower and the Temple of Literature. It also has 20th-century ones that may catch your eye, such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum or the Long Bien Bridge, which has been called a true expression of Vietnam war history, as it bears the scars and patches on half of its frame.
Cheap hotels and bed and breakfasts
For travellers from Europe the largest expense of a holiday to Hanoi will be the plane ticket. That said, many travellers are still on a budget that asks them to consider cheaper accommodation while abroad. Smaller, non-chain hotels may be the way to go if you’re a traditional traveller, while a bed and breakfast could be a good option for someone who wants to have a ‘kitschier’ experience. Bed and breakfasts also have the luxury that gives them their name: the breakfast when you wake. For those who want to have a unique experience, it may be worth forgoing the bed and breakfast or hotel experience, and considering renting an apartment instead.How to rent an apartment with Wimdu
