Rey Hotel Hanoi: The Complete 2026 Guide

Every hotel calls itself special, so let us skip the brochure language and tell you plainly what we are. Rey Hotel Hanoi is a 4-star hotel at 14 Ly Nam De in Hoan Kiem District — a modern oasis that combines stylish comfort with warm Vietnamese hospitality, as our own tagline puts it: so close, so peaceful. Close, because the Old Quarter begins a few steps from our door. Peaceful, because the moment you step in from Ly Nam De street, the volume of Hanoi drops and you are standing in a calm, cream-and-wood lobby where someone from our team is waiting to help. You can browse every room category and our current rates at reyhotel.com.

This is the guide we wish every guest read before arrival, written by the people who staff the desk, serve breakfast and answer the phone at all hours. Nothing below comes from a copywriter’s imagination: the room sizes and from-prices are the ones we publish ourselves, checked as of late 2026; the walking times have been measured by our own team on foot, usually more than once; and the guest ratings are quoted exactly as the booking platforms publish them. Where something varies by season, we say so.

A note on prices before we begin: rates in Hanoi move with the seasons and with local events, so every figure in this guide is a “from” price — a starting point, not a quote. And if you are still weighing neighbourhoods across the city, our where to stay in Hanoi guide compares the Old Quarter, the French Quarter and beyond; this guide covers what happens once you choose our corner of it. Timing matters too — our best time to visit Hanoi guide handles the weather month by month.

🏨 The Rooms at Rey Hotel Hanoi

We keep one design language across all eight room types: clean modern lines, cream and wood tones, and free WiFi throughout. Views split into two families — rooms looking over the city rooftops of the Old Quarter, and rooms facing our interior garden, with the balcony suites adding open air above the streets. Sizes run from a compact 26 m² to the 55 m² Suite with Balcony, so the honest question is not which room is nicest but how much space your trip needs.

*”From” rates per night, checked on our own site in late 2026, with bed configurations listed exactly as our rooms page shows them. Prices climb in the high season (October–November and March–April) and around Tet, and soften in the hottest and wettest months. The live list, with photographs of every category, is on our rooms page.

Not sure where you land? For a short city stay, the Standard Twin and the two Superior rooms do everything that matters — comfortable beds, a proper shower, a quiet night — while leaving budget for the food, which is the real reason most of our guests come. The Deluxe rooms add floor space: the Deluxe King Studio’s 38 m² and two beds make it our pick for friends travelling together or anyone who wants room to work. Families should look straight at the Suite — 49 m², four beds and two bathrooms, which means no bathroom queue at bedtime. And for a long stay or an anniversary, the Suite with Balcony at 55 m² is the largest set of keys we hand over.

Two practical notes our repeat guests appreciate. Rooms facing Ly Nam De get the boulevard’s energy; interior-facing rooms and the garden suites are the quietest of the lot. And if you are a light sleeper or need a particular floor, tell us when you book — the front desk notes it on the reservation and we do our best to match it on arrival day.

🍽️ Where to Eat at Rey Hotel Hanoi

You could stay a week and eat every meal under our roof — plenty of guests nearly do. There are three places to eat and drink in the hotel, each with its own personality, and all of them begin within a few steps of the lobby.

Finn Lounge is our all-day dining room on the ground floor and the anchor of your mornings: the daily breakfast buffet is served here every day, and the kitchen keeps going through the afternoon and into the evening. It is the easiest answer to jet lag — land, sleep, wake, and walk downstairs to a full buffet without negotiating Hanoi traffic first. Most of our own team eats here before a shift, which tells you something.

크리스탈 제이드 팰리스 is our Cantonese restaurant and the celebratory end of the range: baskets of dim sum at lunch, and Peking duck when the occasion deserves it. It is the kind of room where business dinners and family birthdays both feel natural, and it fills up on weekends — a reservation through the front desk avoids the wait.

MOJO Cafe & Bistro is the lobby’s daytime-to-nighttime café: Vietnamese coffee and pastries in the morning, a relaxed lunch at midday, and cocktails when the evening starts. It doubles as our unofficial concierge corner — half the itineraries on this blog were sketched on MOJO napkins, usually over a second coffee.

When you want to eat outward instead, the Old Quarter’s street-food stalls start minutes from our door; our Hanoi street food guide lists the twelve dishes worth hunting first. Full menus, hours and booking details for all three hotel venues live on our restaurants page.

🧖 Amenities & Services

Between sightseeing and sleeping, here is what the hotel itself offers. There is a 온천 — the massage our guests book after their first full day of Old Quarter walking is practically a tradition. A garden courtyard gives you outdoor space, which hotels this deep in the city almost never have. The front desk runs 24 hours, so the early-morning taxi questions always have an answer. WiFi is free throughout, self-parking is free, laundry and dry cleaning handle the packing-light strategy, and there is meeting and conference space for our business guests.

The garden courtyard deserves a sentence of its own. Outdoor space is genuinely scarce here, and ours gives you somewhere to take the first coffee of the day, plan the itinerary on paper, and let the evening cocktail from MOJO settle. On hot afternoons it stays noticeably kinder than the pavement outside, and on cool winter mornings it is the sunniest seat in the building.

📍 The Location Advantage: 14 Ly Nam De

Our address is 14 Ly Nam De, Hang Ma Ward, Hoan Kiem District — the northern edge of the Old Quarter, where the guild streets begin. In practice that means the sightseeing maths works in your favour all day: the ancient well at Hang Dao is about 3 minutes away on foot, the Quan De Temple roughly 4 minutes with the Old City Gate (Quan Chuong) just beyond it, Dong Xuan Market about 5 minutes, Hoan Kiem Lake 7, St. Joseph’s Cathedral 10, and the Train Street cafés around 15. You can genuinely cover Hanoi’s historic core without a single taxi.

Our team has mapped all of this in detail: exploring the Old Quarter from our doorstep walks the main routes, and the hidden gems within five minutes of Rey Hotel lists the temples, wells and workshops most visitors walk straight past. For the slightly farther sights, our walkable Hanoi guide adds the routes and timings.

Evenings stay easy too. From Friday to Sunday the Weekend Night Market strings Hang Dao all the way north to Dong Xuan Market — its northern anchor lands minutes from us — and our night market and nightlife guide covers the route plus the rest of Hanoi after dark. Flying in? Noi Bai Airport sits 27–30 km away, and our how to get to Hanoi guide compares the Number 86 bus, taxis and door-to-door transfers.

⭐ What Guests Say

We will let the platforms talk, using the scores exactly as published and checked in late 2026. Agoda rates Rey Hotel 9/10 from more than 2,300 reviews. Booking.com gives 9.2/10. Tripadvisor sits at 4.9/5 across roughly 361 reviews. Expedia scores 9.4/10 and labels it “Exceptional”. We quote these numbers not to boast but because they are verified — every one comes from a guest who actually stayed and chose to review us.

What do people actually write? The same handful of themes returns again and again, and we read them all. The staff — how helpful they are, how genuinely warm, how often someone walks guests to a place instead of pointing at a map. The breakfast at Finn Lounge. The beds. The WiFi, strong enough that video calls home happen without drama. There are critical reviews too, and we read those most carefully of all; but a nine-plus average held across four major platforms is the work of thousands of real stays, and we do not take it for granted.

🧭 Who Is Rey Hotel Hanoi For? (and How to Book)

💑 For couples

Couples get the romantic end of the range: the Suite with Balcony for open air above the rooftops, the Suite with Garden View for quiet, and MOJO’s evening cocktails a staircase from the lobby. The lake, the cathedral and a long dinner are all inside a ten-minute walk, which gives a city break an easy, unforced shape — no timetables, just the city at your own pace.

👨‍👩‍👧 For families

Families should start at the Suite — 49 m², four beds and two bathrooms — or the Suite with Garden View with its three beds. The Standard Twin’s three beds make it a smart choice with older children, and the garden courtyard gives younger travellers somewhere to decompress between temples, markets and ice cream. Tell us the children’s ages when you book and we will suggest the layout that fits.

💼 For business travellers

Business guests tend toward the Deluxe King Studio for the space to work, book the meeting and conference space for small gatherings, and lean on the pieces that matter on a working trip: the 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, free self-parking and laundry. Ly Nam De also connects quickly by car to the rest of Hoan Kiem while keeping client dinners walkable in the Old Quarter.

However you travel, two booking notes from the people who answer the phone. First, the from-prices above move with the season and with local events, so check our website for current rates and any packages before you commit elsewhere — what you see there is the honest, current number. Second, if your dates are fixed and your room type is not negotiable — a family of four needing the Suite, say — write or call early rather than hoping availability appears in October.

Put together, the picture is simple: a modern oasis with eight room types, three places to eat, a spa and a garden courtyard, sitting at the exact point where the Old Quarter begins. If you are the kind of traveller who wants the city at your doorstep and quiet at your back, that combination is why we built this place — and why so many guests come back.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does Rey Hotel Hanoi have a spa?

Yes — the spa is one of the amenities guests use most, especially after a first full day of walking the Old Quarter’s lanes. Pair a treatment with an hour in the garden courtyard and you will understand the peaceful half of our tagline. Ask the front desk or the spa team about treatments and availability when you arrive, and book the late-afternoon slot if you can.

Is breakfast included in the room rate?

It depends on the rate you book. Some rates include the daily breakfast buffet at Finn Lounge and some do not, and the rate description states which applies before you pay. The buffet itself is served every morning on the ground floor. If the rate you chose does not include it, ask our front desk about adding breakfast to your stay — it is a common request and easy to arrange.

How far is Rey Hotel Hanoi from Noi Bai Airport?

Noi Bai Airport sits roughly 27–30 km from the Old Quarter. The Number 86 bus costs 45,000 VND, runs about every 30 minutes and takes 45–55 minutes to the city. A taxi or ride-hailing car typically costs 300,000–450,000 VND (about US$12–18) depending on traffic. Our arrival guide compares every option in detail, and the front desk can talk you through the best choice for your arrival time.

Can the hotel arrange airport transfers or a Ninh Binh day trip?

Yes — ask our 24-hour front desk. We help guests arrange drivers for early-morning flights and for day trips such as Ninh Binh, which sits about 100 km and roughly two hours from Hanoi and is famous for its limestone karsts and river boats. If you would rather compare organised options first, our day-trips guide covers Perfume Pagoda, Tam Coc and more, and the desk can help book once you choose.

Are there family rooms at Rey Hotel Hanoi?

Yes. The 49 m² Suite sleeps four across its beds and has two bathrooms, which is the layout families appreciate most. The 49 m² Suite with Garden View offers three beds, and the 26 m² Standard Twin Room has three beds as well, making it a smart budget pick with older children. Tell us your family’s size when booking and we will suggest the room that fits best.
