Location of the hotel is good. Very central, and just a short walk to the lake. The hotel itself would benefit from a deep clean. Some staff were friendly and helpful, others looked disinterested (bar staff and guys on the door) Reception area was smart, however was greeted on our floor by ripped carpet outside the lift. The hotel room itself was okay, the bathroom appeared to have been separated from the sleeping area as an afterthought. A bit of tender loving care could make this hotel a decent 3 star hotel.

Shining Central was the perfect choice for our 3 days in Hanoi. It's location in the Old Quarter was perfect and very convenient. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff was just above and beyond - so friendly and helpful. I had items which I purchased in Hoi An earlier in my trip delivered and there was no problem receiving this package. They also booked taxis, shows and tours for us. And the massage I booked in the spa was fantastic. Great place all around.

I would definitely recommend the Shining Central. The hotel is well located in the Old Quarter, with nearby provision stores and restaurants. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was a good spread of local Vienamese and international buffet dishes. But the biggest recommendation has to go to the staff, who were very helpful and friendly. They helped us to buy last minute tickets to the water puppet show, and arranged a driver to the Perfume Pagoda complex. They also called me to tell me that I'd accidentally left behind a jacket in the room, and arranged to send it to me back home. Superb service!

Worthwhile to be back here again

Hotel just reopened after 4 months after Covid situation in Vietnam, hence a very neat and nice hotel overall. Location is also walkable (10mins) to nearby Bia Hoi Junction. Hotel also offer a discounted for their massage/spa packages, which is a good deal too. A very welcoming sight upon entering the room as informed we are celebrating an occasion and they duly got the room prepared for it, thank you for the effort and dedication. It was a good view from the highest floor of your hotel, despite it is only 9 floors. However, would like to highlight that whenever we enter the room each time we came back, there is still foul smell after opening the door. Maybe it could be due to the air circulation when the aircon is off when we head out, but it is alright after 5mins. Other than that, the stay is wonderful ! Will be happy to be back here again.

Fantastic Stay in Hanoi

This hotel has been exceptional and really impressive. As a hotels.com gold member, I was treated like a VIP from start to finish. I got a free massage and late 2pm check-out. The staff are really friendly and are seeking to help you in any way they can. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The price is extremely good value. Only small negative was the breakfast was mostly finished when we arrived but that was mainly my own fault for getting up later - would advise to get down a bit earlier and not right before it closes! Overall a great stay and would stay here again if ever in Hanoi again.
