🚫 Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend
Hanoi Royal Palace Hotel 2 – Hanoi, Vietnam
This ended up being one of the worst hotels during my trip in Vietnam. When we arrived, the room still wasn’t ready. After they said it was cleaned, we found pubic hair on the bed, which was simply unacceptable. The beds didn’t even have real mattresses — it felt like sleeping directly on a box spring.
Breakfast was another letdown. The food was mushy and bland, and you’re honestly better off getting breakfast outside the hotel — there are amazing places to eat just around the corner.
The walls were paper thin, so when rowdy guests came back late at night, it was almost impossible to sleep. Aside from luggage help, the front desk staff weren’t friendly and didn’t seem to care about customer service at all.
The only positive thing is the location in the Old Quarter. But overall, I would highly recommend paying a little more for a better hotel nearby. This one is just not worth the stress.
Would not stay here again.
