We were in Hanoi from October 24 to October 26, 2018. The Golden Diamond Hotel is conveniently located a three-minute walk from the train station, from where bus 86 goes to the airport, the price is only 35 dong per person. A block from the hotel there is a huge clothing and fabric market with 3 floors. But for whites, prices are high there, they don't want to bargain, you don't have to waste time, just go on an excursion. By the way, there are several coffee stalls at the bottom of the market. At the first it is expensive, and in the middle, the seller gave the same good fragrant coffee with a brown animal on the package for 105 dong, if they knew that they would like this coffee so much, they would buy a lot of it. There are two minimarkets nearby, but they are not about anything. But good supermarkets are only accessible by transport. We booked the hotel on the way by booking the same day. The price is good. The room was given a higher level than it was when booking, Deluxe on the 4th floor, without additional payment. The staff is polite. Daily cleaning service. The room has everything you need, towels, soap accessories, paper, a flat-screen modern TV (we connected our flash drive with movies), air conditioning, a window, a large and comfortable bed, a hairdryer, a refrigerator. There was also breakfast included in the room rate, a choice of local or European plus coffee. Water was taken there at the reception. We really liked it. They paid in cash, they charge 3% commission for card payment, which they immediately warn about.
