It was my third time staying in Oakwood Residence Hanoi with my wife. First two times, 8 days, and this time 3 days. It’s my favorite hotel, course it’s clean, nice and helpful staff, big indoor pool (so I don’t get burned by the sun) with beautiful view, great gym, big jacuzzi and sauna. The rooms are really nice, with power plugs where you need them (many hotels only have one on each side of the bed). And the down pillows are the best. The area around the hotel is mostly local stores and food places/restaurants, which is fine for me (married to a Vietnamese). If I want different things, I take a taxi. I stay in this hotel because I really enjoy it, not because of what’s around. This time I didn’t leave the hotel once, and I enjoyed every minute!
