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 ### 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 #### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megumi 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Very nice hotel ##### Megumi Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 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 ### 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.

Air conditioner should be upgraded. It takes a very long time to adjust room temperature. ##### Toru Stayed 2 nights in May 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mackenzie 19 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at the Shining Central Hotel & Spa are all extremely kind.
