We stayed in the family suite room 502. The room is big and beautiful! It has windows and a small balcony, which is comfortable. Even though it faces the road, it's not very noisy. Close to Hoan Kiem and the lake.
The GRAB downloaded before coming to Hanoi does not work. The lobby manager called a GRAB taxi for me, and it went smoothly from the hotel to President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum for 45,000VND (14RMB). When we came back, we accidentally took a black car waiting for passengers outside the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. I was ripped off for 890,000VND (265RMB)!!!! I’m so a**. Black taxis also have meter machines, which initially showed 20,000 VND. Unexpectedly, the meter fare increased so quickly! I should have taken a picture of his license plate, but at that time I was so shocked that I didn’t take any action.
It was my first time to travel to Vietnam. Everyone including the airport pick-up driver, hotel, restaurant, and tourist attraction attendants were very kind! Therefore, I am no longer wary of black cars... Please be careful of illegal cars!
