Re: Hanoi
 

Has anyone stayed in Sunny Hotel before ?

It's built in 2005. New 3-star hotel.

Comment, please.

Thanks.

Re: Hanoi
 

my friends stay in sunny hotel before.

Room not too bad... and have internet access in the room. Girl friendly - no idea.

Re: Hanoi
 

Thanks, Bro Vbvietnam.

I'm more concerned about location.

Re: Hanoi
 

Hi Bro,

It is about 10 min walk from the old quarter.. If you are looking at location which is right in the heart of the old quarter, then you should try Majestic Salute.

Regards

Re: Hanoi
 

I have actually checked the various city maps showing the locations of different hotels. Not a single map demarcates the boundary of the Old Quarters. Where exactly is the Old Quarters ?

I have narrowed down to Sunny Hotel and Asean International. I can see Sunny's location, but not Asean International.

Has anyone any experience with Asean International ?

Thank you.

North Pole

Re: Hanoi
 

Old quarters is generally the area beside Hoan Kiem Lake..from Hang Gai, Hang Bong, Dinh Liet, and so on..where they sell souveniors, night market, all the way to the Don Xoan market..

There's a hotel at 120 Hang Bong, roomrate is 150,000 vnd for regulars..nice room..but if u are first timer..maybe 200,000vnd. gal friendly.

Re: Hanoi
 

Thanks, Bro.

Any experience with Sunny and Asean International ?

Re: Hanoi

Any advice on interesting places around Sunny Hotel ?[/QUOTE]


Havent stay there b4 but i know its near west lake.. can go to try a KTV at Lake Side hotel, i'm not sure whether it is still open or not the ktv. Used to be operated by a taiwanese boss. Gals come in 3 class. 1) Speak viet only 2) Speak english/chinese 3) Speak english,french. a bit pricey though.

Boss KTV at Fortuna Hotel is a good recommendation. Gals there have to go through health screening before allowed to work there, so relatively 'clean'.
Another KTV is Nhat Thong at 14 Thi Sach. Price lower, gals ok. KTV and massage at Hanoi hotel also ok. And another is at Daewoo hotel KTV.

If alone, can try the Sakura massage near Nguyen Du. If you are first time there, you wouldnt have time to go 'fishing' around..so those places should be ok.

If want to fish, try Ho Guom Xanh near Hoan Kiem lake, New Century club at Trang Thi road, Hale Club at 64 Nguyen Du,Apocalypse disco, or 17 Saloon at 100 Tran Hung Dao.

Hope it helps...and grab some viet vocab before u go...makes ur life easier :D

all depends on how much time u have at hanoi....cheers :)

Re: Hanoi
 

Sorry in Hanoi I'm like a mountain tortoise... :D

Re: Hanoi
 

Latest updates:

Lakeside Hotel KTV, already closed for more than 1 year, so nothing left there. However there are some local operated KTV opposite the street of LakeSide Ktv. if u cannot speak Viet but have 2-4 guys, can venture there and try, they should be able to handle you by offering semi-English speaking viets.

Fortuna KTV - the no risk one, pay tourise price and fish those gold fishes in the fisk-tank style, for those who likes to eats the nice looking gold-fishes . .. but anyone could also guess that gold fishes usually good to look at only, ie. they very commercial usually.

For those more brave to do deep sea fishing and enjoys the pleasure and process of fishing . . story coming up.

14 Thi Sach - girls ok, room excellent conditions.

20 le van huu - girls quite happening . . can tune radio one ;-) rooms bad conditions, but i think girls more important . . so i prefer if I bring some DOM out for light fun.

Re: Hanoi
 

after your stay, can let me know whether it is gal friendly..meaning dun need to pay extra for another room... :D

Re: Hanoi
 

Not sure yet. I have toying with a few. Sunway is a highly recommended one too.

Re: Hanoi
 

this hotel is rated as 4-stars so I think is not gal friendly...

Re: Hanoi
 

Just went there its still open. 200++ gals mar, not many customer, lot choices

Re: Hanoi
 

arrived Hanoi on 14th and sms bro herokuhebat...met up with him and his friends at Boss KTV...reached there and realised that day is he birthday... he oso busy with a sweet gal... :D

mummy then brought other gals for the rest to choose... got #11... sian...cannot touch here and there... I decided to show 'black' face by not talking to her after that... she sort of realised but still heck care... in the end, on the advise of bro herokuhebat, pay her just USD 10...

on 15th nite, went to New Century...pickup a gal and negotiate overnite for USD 60...bring back to Horison Hotel and pay the counter USD 20...therefore I considered this is partly gal-friendly hotel because must pay extra...

will write about 16th and 17th nite in the next few days...

Re: Hanoi
 

on 16th nite, went to Ho Guom Xanh bar near Hoan Kiem Lake..bro Herokuhebat brought me there late last year so I missed this place..I like to watch show dances... performance was stopped when World Cup match began to play on the big screen...

...last nite in Hanoi : 17th Jun...

bro Herokuhebat and myself went to a new KTV call Bich Anh...because it is a local KTV, if you cannot speak Vietnamese, then really is chicken & duck talk..with bro Herokuhebat beside me..communication with the staff is easy..

after ordered our dinner in the room, the in-charge began to bring gal one at a time for our selection...the 1st few really cannot make it..so bro Herokuhebat tip the in-charge and finally we have the gals beside us in no time...

our gals are really proactive...not like my nite @ Boss.. and also the gals can really drink...in about 2 hours we all finished one bottle of VSOP...as it is about time to go home..bro Herokuhebat ask my gal whether want to overnite with me...and the answer is no...so imagine after making me horny in the room and then said no...:confused:

anyway, I also wanted to check out whether my hotel Golden Key is gal friendly..bo bian...we went home...next day, while checking out, I casually ask the receptionist whether I can bring gal friend overnite and the answer is positive.. :)

bro Herokuhebat, hope we will meet again soon...

Re: Hanoi
 

the 2 ktv i normally frequent are in fortuna and hanoi hotel. both are gal frenly and relatively safe. my fren told me that fortuna ktv has not been raided before one... the boss who is a sporean is on good terms wif the viet "gong an".

seems like the massage joints in hanoi are clean and at most do HJ... any happening ones that provide full course?

Re: Hanoi
 

stayed there before... nice and clean rooms. bfast also not bad. however not gal frenly. good thing is that internet is FOC. its located juz out the old quarters. if u want to stay within old quarter i recommend the majestic salute.

there is nice restaurant nearby majestic along the same street. it serves fish in hotplate. go there no need order... only one choice and its always packed. restaurant name is "cha ca la vong".

Re: Hanoi
 

Thanks, Bro. Any nice places around Sunny Hotel to check it out ?

BTW, Hanoi got shopping centres or not ?

Re: Hanoi
 

There's a shopping complex at 191 Ba Trieu, called Vincom Towers. Dont expect much though, non comparable to what we have back home. Urs truly office is there, so if u want PM me and i'll buy u a drink at Highland Coffe below :cool:

Another shopping mall is called Trang Tien plaza....

Re: Hanoi
 

Alamak, logged on to SBF too late.

I was at Trang Tien Plaza. The people in Hanoi are very stingy with aircon. All common areas in aircon buildings swtiched to high temperature or no aircon at all. Buay tong !

One more thing - the motorists love honking in midnight. Wah piangz ! No cars also honk song song.

Does anyone know of Nam Dinh in Vietnam ?

Re: Hanoi
 

Yo. any brother interested in meeting up 9th July -Sunday for a coffee & maybe cheong session. PM me.

Re: Hanoi
 

Haha. Cos electricity is expensive at viet loh. And from what i know, they are scare of cold than hot weather. When i blast my aircon 19 celcius (summer now ma) the local staff will protest say cold...wtf.

U must honk, no one cares u turn on signal light or watever. Honking is for own safety. as i also drive a motor bike, got used to it already. Honk means u ask other ppl becareful. In Msia u probably will be whack to death :D

Nam Dinh is just on the outskirt of Hanoi..havent been there lor

Re: Hanoi
 

Bro Kieu, you working in Hanoi ?

I always wonder what kind of SGP companies would venture into Vietnam.

Bros care to share ?
