Enjoy your shopping!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Hi - thanks for watching. The Myst is a great choice! That will be featured in my upcoming boutique hotels video in the near future. Enjoy your visit to Saigon!

Hi - thanks for watching. I’m based in Saigon so won’t be able to host you. Please email me with what you’re looking for and I can make a referral.

Yes people walk back and forth on it. It’s a narrow path so mostly single-file. Great view from there though!

Hi - I put specific instructions in the description. I don’t know the stall number.

​@@traveleatvietnamWill look for the Buddha altar and hopefully see this vibrant lady. Thank you ♥️

Thanks for watching. Glad you found the information useful!

Sounds like you really love to visit Vietnam!

@traveleatvietnam Yes I love your country and its beautiful people and culture

Hi - glad you found the video useful. Most places featured are NOT fixed price so bargaining is recommended! Happy shopping!

90% ?? No way.

Ben Thanh market does require some heavy bargaining. The shop’s rent there is quite high that’s why they mark up their prices very high. As mentioned Saigon Square and Taka Plaza is more pleasant shopping experience.

Thanks for watching! 👍

Hi - thanks for watching. I haven't been to either of these hotels. And it's hard to really know what the hotel is really like based on only photos. The Hanoi Graceful hotel looks like nicer room designs but I noticed that it's 3D drawings, not real pictures, so that makes me wonder if the room really does look like the drawings? The Hanoian Central looks not as modern as some other hotels. For that price you shouldn't expect too much - a comfortable and clean room is sufficient. It all really depends on what you're looking for since there is a wide range of prices and room standards in the Old Quarter.

@@traveleatvietnam you gave me different perspective to look at the rooms. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will put that on my ‘to-do list’. 👍

Cảm ơn bạn đã quan tâm về video này. Có vài khách sạn trên đường Thi Sách đã giới thiệu trong video như khách sạn Silverland cũng ok lắm.

Hi - thanks for watching and glad you found them useful. I haven't been to either of the hotels but based on what I see on Agoda - Hotel de Souriant have smaller rooms than the Solare de Monte. Both pools are not large size so it's probably more like a dip and short swim. It's hard to find a regular size pool in the Old Quarter. Budget hotels normally don't have pools. I don't consider these two hotels to be budget - more mid-range. Have you looked at the Anatole which is similar in price range with a larger pool and bigger facilities? Check out the link here bit.ly/4gSIRTX Enjoy your visit to Hanoi!

@@traveleatvietnam thank you so much for your prompt reply and suggestion! I know you mentioned no bad location for old quarter. But is there one hotel with most good food close by (walkable distance)?

Since the Old Quarter is compact - there is literally local foods everywhere unlike bigger cities where there are a concentration of restaurants in particular areas and streets. But if I had to choose an area - I would recommend staying near St Joseph’s Cathedral.

@@traveleatvietnam hence Anatole Hanoi hotel will be more ideal location! Thank you so much! (Do you think the pool will have much utility for February?)

Price will depend on room type and time of year traveling. I paid no more than USD120 when I stayed.

Thank you for watching! Yes I try to keep info simple so it’s easy to understand.

I'm ur new subscriber and am going to HCMC next month.I intend to enjoy the night live and intend to stay at a hotel which has massage services.Care to let me know which hotel.Tq

@@JOHARIAHMAD-e8k Many hotels have spas except for the smaller ones.

Hi - I haven’t reviewed any hotels on this street but it’s a great location!

Hi - thanks for watching! Yes the Rex is a great location. They actually have two sides of the hotel. One side is more modern since they renovated and the other is the old style which is probably where you stayed. There are a lot of hotels nearby with similar price. For that budget maybe try Fusion Saigon next time. But the Reverie is truly extravagant and not too expensive so why not treat yourself.

Hi - thanks for watching. Glad you found the video useful. Let me know how you liked the Aira Boutique Hotel. That's a bummer about the hotel pick up. They do have airport shuttles that can take you to your hotel for about half the price of a private car. You just have to wait for the shuttle to drop people off - unless you're one of the first. Enjoy your time in Hanoi!

Thanks for sharing - I'll check it out on my next visit to Hanoi!

It’s double the price of these hotels in video

@@MegaBaba40 maybe but A88/night was great value.

Since you don't have much time in HCMC. You can sign up for a food tour or go to Ben Thanh Market where they have a food court and you can try different dishes. Enjoy!

The address is at the end of the video. It's far from city center. If you want to try different foods, you should go to the food court in Ben Thanh market where you can find a wide range of foods to try!

Hi - thanks for watching. Staying in part of Old Quarter is fine for first time travelers to Hanoi. Though if you prefer to be closer to landmarks and bustling activities then I would recommend the lower west side of Hoan Kiem Lake - lots of souvenir shops and places to eat.

@ what hotels are in the lower side of Hoan Kien?

@@HelenAbelardo I've mentioned a few options in my video. You can also take a look on Agoda to see hotels in that area with street names that I mentioned in the video.

Hi - thanks for watching. Yes all the hotels featured have elevators. Most hotels have elevators if it’s more than 3 floors.

Thank you watching and sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear that the information was useful which is the aim of my channel. Though there is still a lot more topics to cover which I plan to do over a period of time.

Thanks for watching and glad to know the information was useful!

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your stay in Hanoi - you'll love it!

Hi - thanks for watching. Hope you found the information useful!

Hi - I'm not familiar with this property though some of the reviews aren't so great. If you're looking for apartment accommodations which are professionally managed - there's the Oakwood Residence and Sedona Suites. Of course it will cost more but it's a higher level of service and quality! If you're looking more of a neighborhood stay, you may want to consider places in District 3.

That will be a good experience living in Vietnam for a whole year! Yes it does flood in D2 and because the streets are narrow and lots of cars there - there tends to be heavy traffic during rush hour as well. D2 is more of a western expat hub while D7 is more Asian expats like Koreans, Japanese and Taiwanese though many locals live there as well. It’s more modern so streets are wider and less likely to experience flooding. The downside is going to D1 can be a headache due to traffic. Both these areas have everything you need so you don’t really have to leave the area. Hope this helps!
