Hanoi Aurora Hotel

They have great location in Ma May street, right at the corner with Hang Bac street, very convenient to walk around the old quarter and experience the local food nearby. The room is good, clean and comfortable. I will be back here soon.

Starting from early beginning, when owner/employee ask for my passport to keep it till check out(5days!!) as well as payment in advance for that whole time. Then we saw bathroom, after our surprising of really bad accomodation, he offer us a place in his hotel, with better standard but of course more expensive. We decided do stay just because it was in the heart of old quarter and we were not planing to spend day there. Unfortunatelly after paying we checked reality versus offer in booking, which we reserved, it was completly different (first bathroom), then whole dirty apartment (for example, flies on walls and in the toilet, dust and cockroaches) We didnt expect that there is NO window, (dark place), on the other side of the walls is a club with party till 2am. I felt that im sleeping at the noisy party. What more? Smell and moist!! Whole apartment stincks and all of our things were always wet and humid. And its not the end - the entrance was totaly creepy - dark, small dogs in cage, yelling. TV was not working. In offer was mentioned :1 kings double bed and 3 single beds - no! Just only 5 mattress on the ground. For next time i would prefer to know what really i will get in this price. For us it was a huge lie and dissapointment.

We arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the morning and left around 4 hours later. The staff we saw were lovely and extremely friendly throughout. The hotel was a bit worn down, a tad smelly and you get what you pay for. It is however cheap and has a great central location to explore Hanoi. The pictures however do not represent the place.
