Fodor's "In a tranquil setting, over-the-water pavilions house spacious rooms with balconies and great views of West Lake and Hanoi, helping guests feel removed from the urban bustle of the city center, even though the hotel is only a couple of miles from the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake."

Afar Magazine "The city’s largest lake, known locally as Ho Tay and situated just northwest of the Hanoi Old Quarter, plays home to this whitewashed hotel whose layout mimics the form of an open lotus flower." Full review
Independent "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
