Bed #62 Artisan Boutique Hotel, Hoan Kiem Lake Hanoi, Vietnam

We changed hotels in Hanoi because Mama didn’t like the “posh-dungeon” with no windows at the Tirant. The Artisan Boutique is just round the corner in the Old Quarter by Hoan Kiem Lake. Its on a quiet little street with lots of trees.

We are in room #802 which is their “Executive Room”. We’re not sure why is called that but its a big bedroom with a huge bathroom and a nice balcony above the trees on the 8th floor, you can also see the lake (just).

Its a much smaller hotel and we like the vibe better. The breakfast is served next door at their coffee shop on the 1st floor, Mama likes it because you can sit on the balcony and people watch.

Cost: Artisan Boutique Hotel 3* Executive Room with balcony $40 usd (x 3 nights) Inc: Breakfast, aircon, wifi
