"One of only two Hanoi hotels that are actually built on the water...the “over-water” rooms are particularly appealing, as they fan out on small man-made islets from the central sunset bar."
Frommer's
"All rooms have great views from the balconies, but the suites are particularly appealing as they are perched right out over the water...rooms are decorated with dark timber, cream walls" Full review
