Splendid star grand Hotel is one out of 7 hotels in a small chain in Hanoi. It has an excellent location in Hanoi Old Quarter, and you can walk almost everywhere you want to go as a tourist from here. It is also located in a small street where only scooters and pedestrians are allowed, so compared to Hanoi in general it is ok quiet, and you can't hear the traffic from the room.
There is a very delicious breakfast buffet with all kinds of exotic fruits (dragon fruit, watermelon, lychees, mango etc.), which I really enjoyed. You can also order a selection of eggs, sandwiches and pancakes directly from the kitchen free of charge.
The room it pretty basic, not to big, but has what you need. It was clean, and the beds were good and comfy. The aircondition worked fine, but was a little noisy so earplugs is a good thing to bring! There was also a safe and a mini fridge, where you could store your own stuff.
The best thing about this hotel, however, is the friendly and helpful staff who made us feel at home. They helped us arrange more tours (eg. to Sapa) and taxi from the airport and also let us keep some of our luggage at the hotel while we were out of town visiting Sapa.
A really nice place to stay, and has everything you need!
