Usually, we only list a hotel if it has at least a 3*** rating unless it's in an area where there is no alternative. However, although it's located in the centre of Hanoi, the 2** Church Hotel puts many supposedly superior establishments to shame. Opened in September, 2004, and located a few steps away from St. Joseph's Cathedral (hence its name), the Church is Hanoi's first genuine bijou hotel. The term means 'small and elegant' and it qualifies on both counts. When your taxi pulls up outside the narrow building, you'll be greeted by smartly-uniformed porters who'll collect your luggage. A smiling receptionist will complete the formalities and a silent lift will whisk you to one of the 20 rooms
Location
Located in the Nha Tho (Church) street of the famous old quarter, between Hoan Kiem lake and the Cathedral, close to Ba Da pagoda of 1000 years old, Church Hotel is brand new opened and one of the finest two-star hotels in Hanoi.
Room
Church Hotel has 26 luxury and standard rooms with exquisite European decoration and architecture. All rooms are equipped with all amenities, a demanding traveler can expect: air-condition, elavator, internet, cable TV, minibar, and more.
There are three levels of accommodation. Standard and Superior differ only in the view they afford. Each has a large, comfortable bed or beds, a good quality wooden floor and stylish modern furniture. The bathroom is average size, but well equipped with high quality sanitary-ware and fittings.
There are two Suites. One is the usual arrangement of a large sitting room with good furniture with an opening leading to a similar sized bedroom. The bathroom is below average size for a suite, but a good corner bath compensates.
The other Suite is the only room on the top floor. It's an attractive open space with large windows on both sides with very good views of the nearby Cathedral and other features of the heart of Hanoi. The bathroom is a bit larger than those downstairs.
It's reached by a narrow flight of stairs (the lift stops one floor below) so occupants are truly the kings and queens of their castle! For newlyweds on a budget, it's ideal as a honeymoon hideaway in the centre of the capital city security available; food and other services on request; all kinds of payment are accepted; vehicle hire...
Facilities
There is a small but attractive dining room on the ground floor. The Church Hotel offers only breakfast, a straightforward choice of simple international set combinations of bread, eggs, toast, paté, sausage, ham and so on, as well as 'pho' (classic Vietnamese noodles) and, surprisingly, dim son. However, the hotel has an arrangement with the up-market fast food outlet next door. In any case, the hotel is right in the middle of the tourist area, so restaurants of all kinds and prices are a few minutes walk away.The Church Hotel has all the basic facilities as well as free ADSL (broadband) Internet connection and safety boxes in all rooms, so, if you can survive without business centres and similar frills (and not paying for them!), it's good value for money. You'll have to book early, though - it's going to be very popular.Organizing all the tour to everywhere; visa making and extension; tickets booking; money exchange; laundry; 24/24 doctor service; 24/24 security available; food and other services on request; all kinds of payment are accepted; vehicle hire
