    We booked a room with Windows and 2 separate beds. Upon arrival we heard they were overbooked for the first night for a room with Windows. Really a bummer as we booked them to get over our jetlag a bit sooner. I think this happens quite often in the whole area, though the personnel gave us three fair options and a decent room (though without windows). As a refund we choose the 60min massage for the 2 of us; just perfect after our flight we just had. And for the second night we got a big room with windows and a balcony on the 7th floor. Nothing to complain about!

    The staff has been really helpful, foremost Henry, Jenny and Mae. We got a load of insider tips on Hanoi, they helped us out on booking a transfer to Trang An afterwards and for bicycles in the city, anything with a smile. The hotel itself is in a good shape; facilities in the room and in general are clean, the pool with a view is amazing for a dip and the breakfast had a good choice of different styles. Never sure on if the excellent service was part of us being white Europeans, and me alone with my 11-year old son, but all the other guests from all parts of the world looked pretty happy as well :))

    Odd noise at night, motor running? Something annoying! I suspect it came from outside, nothing the hotel could do about it.

    Small counter space in the bathroom We didn’t use the roof top patio but it looked nice.

    Perfect location in downtown Hanoi. The staff were lovely. The breakfast had a wonderful selection. The rooms were basic. No window in the room but this did help with less noise at night. The bathroom was small. There wasn’t much counter space for your toiletries.

    Jenny on reception was amazing. She helped us book transport to our next destination and arranged a street food tour. We also arrived very early after a 24 hour flight and she got our rooms ready much earlier than normal check in. Alex on the street food tour around Hanoi was brilliant. We learnt so much about the culture and history of Vietnam and the restaurants we went to were delicious. The tour ended up with an egg coffee on train street. A great location. 12 min walk to St Joseph Cathedral.

    The noise level was quite high. We were woken up several times by both other guests in the evening and staff in the morning.

    We had a lovely stay at the Light. Our room was spacious with plenty of charging points and a large comfy bed. Breakfast was very good with a great selection of Vietnamese and Western food. The poached eggs were perfect!

    We did wish we had booked a room with a window. But that is our fault, didn't read the description closely .

    The staff were super nice , and helpful. From how to get to local attractions to where to find the best Pho. Lem was particularly helpful when we had issues with a pick up for the airport. Thank you! The hotel,is located in walking distance to so many sites. The breakfast is very good, and the rooms are 'cozy'.
