"Best hotel location for shopping" Majestic Salute Tip by arni_ph075

I love the hotel, its relatively new, 3 star category, value for money and right in the middle of the busy Don Xuan-Hang Duong road.

Able to get a deluxe room for 45 usd/night inclusive of daily breakfast. The room is spacious, its right infront of the lift, bathroom is okay, it got a bath tub, only downside is it doesnt have a window overlooking the streets. A good thing in one way, as its not noisy, could not hear the beeping sounds of motorcycles.

The hotel got 2 entrance, on facing the Cha Ca St, and the other one is Hang Duong (busy street, where night market is)..

*If you plan to pay your hotel using Visa credit card, there is a 3% surcharge. I think this applies to the rest too, but surcharge might vary.

*There is a complimentary mineral water daily.

Unique Qualities: -The weekend night market ( Friday- Sunday), 8pm to midnight is right infront of the hotel...Amazing, whole Don Xuan - street is closed for shopping.

-The staff will even watch over you on the night market if you are in the vicinity of the hotel, and will offer to carry whatever you bring, up to the lift area.

-Breakfast at the fifth level is really nice, a mix of western favorites and local food. There is a wide selection, as its the top level, you can go to the terrace, and watch over the morning rush of vendors and local Hanoi folks.
