Not the best
Stayed May 7-9, 2025, after a cruise and the first day of the conclave for the selection of the Pope. We arrived at the hotel early, the staff was nice. The room was not ready, so we left our luggage in a locked room, but it seemed that we had an assigned room. We came back later in the evening, our luggage was the only one left in the room and were given a different room. The room and bathroom for Europe standard was big, and very clean. The breakfast was good. The hotel is at a good location, about a five minute walk for hop-on hop-off buses, train station, etc. The bad part: we arrived to a very warm room, called the reception desk and they kept saying that the AC was on and it was not. I do not appreciate when people lie to me, all they needed to say is that the heat is turned off and the AC turned on at certain dates. We opened the window, but hardly any air flowed in the room and the noise did not let us sleep, trash pick-up in the middle of the night! The reception desk said to close the window, so the AC would work, but while the window was closed the temperature kept rising, there was no AC. We asked for ice , and a fan but they were not accommodating. We had to leave for the airport before breakfast started, (we had paid for breakfast), so we ask for a breakfast box. They threw random stuff in a bag, no sandwich, just snacks like if it was for a child, this was terrible, not acceptable!!!! (please see the picture).
Response from the operator: Hello, I’m truly sorry to hear about the experience you went through. However, I’m not sure if you are leaving a review for the correct travel company. Could you kindly double-check the company name again? One thing we are certain of is that we did not organize your tour. Therefore, we kindly ask you to remove this comment to avoid causing any negative impact on our future customers. Thank you very much for your understanding

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $380 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 9. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 - Day Explore The Capital And Go For A Cruise In Ha Long Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
