Looking a cool, funky hotel in Hanoi? Then look no further!
Josephs Hotel has been going for a year or so and it’s a great place to rest your weary body after a day exploring Vietnam’s Capital! Owners Brian (from NZ) and his wife Van (from VN) have done a great job in decking out this great boutique hotel. Here’s the gossip from the streets!
Location
Located at No 5 Au Trieu Street, you could not ask for a better location. Next to St Joseph Cathedral, you only have a 4 minute walk to Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter is a just a little further on. The popular shopping area of Hang Gia and Hang Bong is a 2 minute stroll and the cafe filled street of Nha Tho is only a stagger from the front door!
Rooms
Josephs Hotel has 10 rooms all decked out and designed with modern lacquer furniture, decorative lamps, flat screen TV, air-con, free tea and coffee (in room), free wifi (in room), complementary water (daily) and great beds. And I have to make mention of the pillows, simply the best in Vietnam!
The bathrooms, while small, are fitted out with quality fittings and huge shower heads. Hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner etc are supplied as well
Front rooms have a small balcony which is great to view the street life and all the rooms have windows which is a bonus, especially in Hanoi! 
Price
Rooms go for around $50USD per night, but Brian is flexible depending on availability!
Rates include breakfast, which consists of freshly cooked eggs, bacon, sausage etc all cooked to your liking or you can try the cereals, juices, toast etc. They also have freshly brewed plunger coffee which is much better than the normal crap served at hotels!
English newspapers are on the tables for those that want to catch up on the news over a coffee and a feed!
The Good Oil
May not be for the budget traveler, but Josephs Hotel is a really great find. You simply won’t find a better location, cleaner 
hotel or better hosts.
Bookings are highly recommended.
