Good value, great location
Great staff, let me check in at 8am due to long flight. First day I had a cold shower because no one mentioned the extra switch to turn on hot water. Many cancellatins due to Corina and staff updated often.

I’ve rated this place excellent in most categories because that what I felt it deserved. To be clear, this is Vietnam, but unless you want to pay 3 times as much, you’re not going to do any better. The charm and attraction of the place is around the staff most especially Lucy who really couldn’t do enough for us. She helped us out from the moment we arrived until even after we’d checked out, answered all our questions and even came down the road to help me order vegetarian food, and was always happy and communicative. The place is ‘faded’, shall we say, but large room, cable TV with some English channels, absolutely no noise, en suite (if you book that option), powerful shower, good breakfast with small cooked options supplemented by buffet style bread, fruit, drinks, etc. It’s set in a little side street not far from St Joseph’s Cathedral, with plenty of places to eat in the same street and nearby. It’s 10 minutes or less walking to the lake and the old quarter (with a million coffee places!). Bus 86 from the airport, get off at Hotel Melia (stop 9 - the conductor will tell you) then about 10 minute walk up. Bus is only 35000 Dong (about $1.50) and only stops 4 or 5 times so quite fast. Would we stay there again Wouldn’t look anywhere else!

A real gem
I stayed at the Ritz Boutique for five nights in total, and what a pleasure it was. The hosts were friendly and hospitable, and really looked after me for the length of my stay. My room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was modern, and the shower had instant hot running water which was a delight. I sampled the breakfast twice during my stay, and both times it was delicious. To be honest, for the price they charge, I coudn't really fault this Hotel. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Comfort and value in a nice street
We chose the Ritz Boutique hotel on our previous trip to Hanoi and didn't hesitate to book in there again. Situated in an attractive small street behind St. Joseph's cathedral it's location is perfect for walking around the old town. The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. Most delightful though is the charm and warm hospitality shown by Thuy and the rest of the staff. My wife and I had a delightful six nights there and would highly recommend it! Richard and June

However I am very disappointed the area hotel located as the traffic was very bad, I had meetings every time my friends try to visit or pick me up was really challenge , the hotel need to improve it's internet I had to call the reception to find out what's going on as my connection were interrupted non-stop, but overall my two nights i stayed this hotel was good.

great location - mediocre room
Great location to walk around. Felt safe as well. The room was mediocre. It was large but it could have been cleaned more thoroughly. For example, we noticed that the area around the A/C unit was not cleaned (thankfully we did not need to use it as we were there in March). The shower was small and the draining system very slow (we experienced the slow draining issue at another hotel nearby - we were in Hanoi, left for a few days then returned but Ritz was booked, hence or booking another hotel). WiFi was good. I would recommend this option to friends if the price point is 25 USD or less per night.

Don't let them relocate you to a dirty hotel
Having seen the Tripadvisor reviews by Emilydothu, Peter W and PeterCoach stating that management claimed the hotel was overbooked and moved them to a filthy, presumably affiliated hotel, I had my reservations. On my second morning I was awakened with a 9am phone call from reception with the "overbooked" excuse and offer of a room at an affiliated hotel. It was obvious this hotel was being systematically used to bait travelers and switch them to another more difficult to sell, dirtier, less desirable or all the above. I confronted the reception lady with the reviews, and her excuse was they occurred under prior management. A likely story, seeing as the most recent review was 31 March 2016. I stood my ground and refused to relocate, and was asked to leave. I contacted the relocation team at Hotels.com who very graciously looked up comparable hotels in the area for me, offered me one, handled the entire booking process and stayed on the line the whole time. It pays to know your rights, and have access to wifi or a local data plan to call your booking portal with- something the Ritz is obviously hoping you will not have.

Dear the valued guest, We would like to thank you again for your stay at the Ritz Boutique Hotel in Hanoi. We are sorry to hear that you did not feel happy when having to move to the other hotel. However, it was not our hotel's fault since we did informed you that we would not have any free room next day. When you first arrived and you made the reservation for 1 night (26th Jul), we did explain to you that we would not have any free room the following days. Because of the internet connection, we could not be able to close the room on the internet for next 72 hours. We advised that you should not make any booking for 27th and 28th July other wise we had to move you to other hotel. Then, you said: "i would make the online booking for the next days and you must accommodate us". Then, you intentionally made one more booking on the internet. As we had explained, we could not arrange any room for you. We could not ask others who were staying to check out and got one room for you. So, next time, it is a better idea that yo should not try to push someone do things that they could not do. Take it easy we both feel more happy and everyone will be happy. Thank you again and have a good time Take care and best regards

Don't get fooled
This hotel was known as "Indochina Boutique Hotel" few weeks ago, and before that "Hidden charm" and who knows what before that. We booked the Honeymoon suite and the room was not as described, the main problems we had: - the advertised "jetted tub with massage showerhead" doesnt work. You get a decent sized tub with non functional spraying heads. Using the small water heater it can be filled up to about 10 cm depth - technically what you get is a shower in a big plastic bowl. - the advertised 40" TV is actually more like 28" - the advertised "20 minutes free foot massage" are non existant - we had to explain our disappointment multiple times to the staff, who refused to get us in touch with the manager. After 3 days of stonewalling us, they offered partial refund, which after negotiating was raised to about 20% of what we paid for the room. In addition to the completely different experience to what we expected, the whole place was not really clean, and very run down (cracked sink, mould in the corners, etc.). The first time they cleaned the room the cleaning staff decided to move our stuff - we had clothes, underwear arranged on two chairs and they moved everything to a corner, had to go and explain that this is not acceptable. One good thing about the hotel is the location - very central, but there are so many hotels around, just pick another one.

After being placed in a room that was noisy when I had specifically asked for quiet, the hotel staff knocked themselves out to ensure I was happy. Really I could not have been happier with the service I received. They considered my needs in every way and thoroughly understood the adjustment one goes through in arriving in a new city.

Comfortable and friendly hotel
Received great service from staff at the hotel. Hotel was clean and the bed was very comfortable (memory foam). Staffs were very kind in helping and arranging tours for my next destination. Street can get a little noisy in the morning starting at 6am, with frequent drive-bys and the bell from the cathedral. If you are a light sleeper then you may be disturbed in the morning. Another advice is that the cost of tours that the hotel offers are usually much higher (maybe 20%) higher than local travel agencies. They helped me arrange 3 tours and I ended up paying 15-20% more than others, and this is after a hard bargain session with the hotel manager. All in all, I will still recommend the hotel because it is clean, comfortable, and these staffs are friendly. However, I'd probably choose the local travel agents for local tours.

Fantastic service, friendly staff
Had booked late (online) into another hotel a few doors down but was told when we appeared that it was overbooked and would be moved to their sister hotel. At the start the manager tried to put us into a small room till I showed him my booking which stated a spacious room so we got a bigger comfy room with view, kettle, etc. Hotel has free internet, lift and nice buffet breakfast (pho, cereal, fruit, etc.). Situated behind St Joseph's cathedral but didn't notice the noise (as in previous hotel which was in same street but closer to cathedral). Being limited in time, we ended up booking most of our VN trip with their tour agency (run by same hotel manager) who was able to arrange everything, from tours & hotels in other cities (Ha Long Bay, Sapa, Hue, Ninh Binh, Hoi An, Mekong, HCM) to public transport (trains, flights, taxis, bus). We left our suitcases there (as we were doing two 2 days/1 night tours) and used the bathroom to wash & shower after returning from 1 tour and before starting the next one which was great. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly with this. As we didn't get a detailed list/itinerary (which we had expected), we were in for a surprise everyday, and felt it was potluck what we got. Overall the tours & hotels turn out well, although we would have chosen a better hotel for the Mekong tour and a soft sleeper for the overnight train from Ninh Binh to Hue (which we only found out hours before boarding the train).
