The most friendly and helpful staff. Our room was clean and comfortable. I had a hot stone massage at the spa; it was excellent and offered good value for the service. ##### Winnie Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megumi 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Very nice hotel ##### Megumi Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hayley 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Hayley Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheldon 6 Jan 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at Shining Boutique are so wonderful. They called us upon arrival to make sure we were on our way. They were happy to help with anything we needed. Would stay here again! ##### Sheldon ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernadette 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would recommend Had a good nights sleep , bed was comfortable but small compared to other hotel rooms in Hanoi. Shower had good warm water pressure. Staff were excellent especially Leo. Very polite and a helpful young man. Convenient location, close to all tourist hotspots. Pictures on site are not same as bedroom ##### Bernadette Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah 11 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Deborah Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Toru 7 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room was upgraded. Room was clean and staffs are kind. Air conditioner should be upgraded. It takes a very long time to adjust room temperature. ##### Toru Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wee Teck 7 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Wee Teck Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### C 30 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### C Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamar 7 Apr 2025 ##### Tamar Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuki 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you for your breakfast preparation, really appreciated ##### Yuki Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chintana 11 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Chintana Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### YUICHI 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### ほとんど窓がない 窓がないので、息苦しい　屋上バーに行くのがよいです。 ##### YUICHI Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yasmin 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort La pasamos exelente, el hotel está bien ubicado, la atención de primera, Todos los que allí trabajan muy atentos y cordiales: ##### Yasmin Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DARYL POE 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### DARYL POE Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SEOYOON 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 적극 추천 할게요 하노이에 또 가게 된다면 여기에 다시 지낼 정도로 저는 만족도가 높았습니다. 모든 직원분들이 친절했지만 특히 안경 쓰신 여자 직원분 최고십니다. 한국말도 완벽하시고 모든 적극적으로 도와주셨습니다. 돈 찾으려고 ATM을 찾았는데 날도 덥고 길도 잘 몰라서 헤맸는데 직원분이 오토바이로 안내해 주셨어요. 고장 나거나 돈이 인출 안되는 곳도 많았는데 여기저기 계속 데려다주시고 너무 감사했습니다. 사파 가려고 아침 버스 타야 했는데 맛있는 샌드위치도 싸주시고 너무 감동받았어요 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F2AA07F5A7C56004669E22AA984CC8B5422E68791691986599572.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### SEOYOON Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 6 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were so accommodating and helpful when my partner and I needed to stay an extra night and went out of their way above and beyond to ensure we had everything we required.
