Moon View Hotel

Good Hotel with Good Loction

Once again there should be a rating between Average and Very Good, as this is what I would rate the Moon View. The staff were nice and the rooms are a good size and clean, we only ate breakfast at the hotel and the buffet selection was very good indeed. The location is on a very busy street especially when school is finishing, but there are handy things around such as an ATM right next door and some good eateries and small convenience stores close. One really baffling thing was the roof top bar, well it's an outdoor area on the roof with a small bar inside, that does not really want to be a bar. The view at night is fantastic but attempts to get a drink were given up after one beer as they only had 3 in the fridge and there were 3 people who wanted one. Asking for a white wine resulted in being offered Gin and a return visit 2 nights later saw the place locked up prior to 9.30pm. It's a shame as I believe it is something they should really promote. Perhaps taking a small cooler bag and getting a few beers from one of the convenience stores and get up the roof about 7pm might be the way to go.

We stayed here for two nights and was two nights too long. The room we had on the first night was literally like concrete! The tv didn't work let alone air conditioning. We were moved to a 'softer' pair of beds for the second night but alas to no avail. The staff are pleasant, the photos on the site have been taken with excellent lighting and angles. The street is out of the way and out of old hanoi. It is not a convenient location at all. It is a shame that not attending to the basics of the room left a nasty taste in our mouths. Don't look out the window - it is a brick wall.
