Comments  (English):
We stayed at Rising Dragon in July 2007, and despite not enjoying it that time, we knew it was clean and not badly located, so on a whim booked again hours before arriving in Hanoi.

It has improved significantly; double glazing means a sound sleep can be achieved on mattresses not too hard (by Viet standards.) A/C worked fine, and there was cable TV.

We were only in the hotel for a few hours as we'd arranged for Rising Dragon to book soft-sleeper tickets on the LC1 to Lao Cai at 6.10am. Bit of a quibble there as a staff member accompanied us to the station, and took us to our carriage which was a hard seat, no AC. A bribe later and we were sorted (hard sleeper, but AC), but we'd like to know up front from the hotel what tickets we'd received.

We stayed elsewhere on our return trip, and compared to that this hotel is pretty good. Just a reminder when looking at the reviews, it's not bad value, but a $30 room resembles a $30 room. Some of the reviews on this hotel make it sound like the Sofitel Metropole.
