Most will say no because the establishment frowns on it. If the tip is paid at front desk, any tip above the regular will be spotted. If you want to arrange in room and bring your own cover, the only thing she has to think about is how to get rid of the evidence, or if you are willing to get rid of the evidence, then it's only a matter of negotiation in the room and giving her the tip in the room. If you've ever been to anywhere, case in point, I was just in Taiwan, what happens inside the room stays inside the room, it's a matter of attraction, foreplay and getting rid of evidence. None of them advertise it though. I did see that the 4m and above at some spas said full service. I didn't find out because it's not worth the price for me.

When I was in HCM, the ST had to happen at a ST hotel as well. I think it's the same all over. I think only the soapies in BKK allow for the activities in room. Singapore is also different as the government sanctioned already allow it.

Best advice: don't bring the SO, don't do a group trip with SO's, travel light with a wingman with similar interest when exploring these. Sneaking in a side visit to these places is too much stress when you factor in traffic, grab wait time, session time and then the mad rush to get back and document your absence.

Re: Hanoi
 

Good advice, thanks.
HCM Saigon was easy to find these places for full service (1m - 1.5m)
But Hanoi, almost impossible to be honest.

Re: Hanoi
 

Hanoi have plenty of ST in love hotel...same as hcm using the website...just that you need to travel...if you are staying in Cau Giay or Hai Ba Trung area then will be nearer...go check out but just for SOP release...at least full course meaning catbath, bbbj, fj...just checked and saw 600+ listing for Cau Giay area...:)

Some gals do overnight and you just need to surf them...:)

Re: Hanoi
 

Had a great time in Hanoi until we allowed the grab driver to bring us to a KTV. Was scammed 11m for 1 hour with 3 lousy girls in a KTV. They had the shutter closed and ready to lock us in until we paid.
Just stick to the recommendations in this thread and ignore everyone talking to you about club/KTV/girls and weed around beer street.

Re: Hanoi
 

Can advice on where is love hotel and how you check the listing?

Re: Hanoi
 

wow...I think bettter passed if you cannot even type the website address...becos later you will asked me many more questions since website is Vietnamese...also blocked by local Vietnamese authority...:)

Opps you need a local sim to ask question in Vietnamese...and the gal will reply you the address...also need to book transport to the love hotel...need bring ID to book love hotel...:)

See compicated if you dun even know how...so best skip....:)

Re: Hanoi
 

This is very true. Same for HCM as well. The OKT on the bikes are horrible. They will be around Old Quarters and Beer St, preying on the horny. They always show you a video of some party place with women dancing. Best way to get them to go away is to point to the group of women in front of you (there will always be some) and say your wife is there. You're better off heading to the clubs on your own and working your own game.

Re: Hanoi
 

hi all i will be staying in the old quarter area, still looking for a hotel. which street has the easiest access to massage shops with at least HJ? thanks!

Re: Hanoi

Re: Hanoi
 

Hi bosses,

I am heading to Hanoi early Oct for work. Have a similar minded colleague and would like to get some suggestions for a fun night after our event - any suggestions would be appreciated as we are only there for 1 night.

Most likely thinking of KTV with some/all action but understand different countries have different expectations. Saw a boss and Hanoi hotel but still googling for information.

Many thanks in advance.

K

Tks for sharing. Can I ask u for KTV,can daobao straight? If not, how much is the drinking? Asking as thinking of going there alone. Tks

Re: Hanoi
 

Does any bros have any info on Bac Ninh. Not sure if it is worth going from Hanoi

Re: Hanoi
 

No info...only landscapes similar to Sa Pa plus cow dung alot...you may stepped on cow dung when you visit...just that they dun tell you...:)

Re: Hanoi
 

Haha. From what I see online, there are many factories there now

Re: Hanoi
 

My personal experience for KTV in Hanoi is like this, if you are newbie, then just go to the hotel KTVs, and not any hotel KTV, but go to Hanoi Hotel KTV or Fortuna Hotel KTV.

I know can dabao, but i believe Fortuna rather you take a room in their hotel than to actually dabao out of the hotel.

Hanoi Hotel is better in this aspect, they don't care, you want to dabao or not up to you.

Fortuna got more younger (legal) girls, Hanoi hotel girls are slightly older.
Mind you in Viet culture, young means <25 years old. usually by 24 if not married they consider old.

but you can still get pretty young, btw 25 to 30 yo girls at at Hanoi hotel.

when I go, I always prefer to go Hanoi hotel. because they are not as pushy, and alochol and rates are cheaper than Fortuna.

Also their hotel rooms are also freshly renovated, so are very clean and nice, unlike in the past. I've never stayed in Fortuna and don't ever intend to.

on a side note, Hanoi hotel is nearer to more F&B outlets, you can walk around the hotel and find many cafes, restaurants and food stalls. Fortuna really isn't much around, have to walk further.
On another note, if you want to go to Hanoi hotel KTV, just walk up to their concierge and tell them.

As for outside KTVs, I've only ever had disappointments, unless you have some Hanoi viet friends bring you, i suggest you don't explore yourself.
My last experience from around 8 years ago, went with 2 friends to a KTV that was introduced by our taxi driver, first the girls are terrible looking, 2nd they don't speak a lick of english, 3rd they just open all the drinks and snacks and fruits, then they will charge you for everything that is opened, for 30min we were there, we paid >$200, literally nothing happened and we paid $200 for nothing. it was 1 experience too many.

maybe other experts here may have better advice for which outside KTVs to explore, but for me I will stick to my Hanoi Hotel.

Rks for sharing. So newbie should start with hotel KTV and dabao straight without drinking is possible? So for Fortuna, it is easier to stay there for the night to davao?

Have upz ur points for ur help.

Re: Hanoi
 

Good to hear that the Hanoi hotel rooms were renovated. 1st business trip to Hanoi, I stayed in that hotel... 20 yrs ago :D

Hanoi hotel lobby, there is a Chinese restaurant. When I feel like having chinese food, I will go there. As for KTV, just head towards the stair and go up straight to be welcomed by hostess.

Fortuna is situated in a busy road, quite a few good F&B within walking distance. As for the KTV, opp of Hanoi Hotel, u will go down. :D

Re: Hanoi
 

i usually will have a few drinks first with the girl at least, to build up some chemistry, sometimes you don't know how she's like. I know it's ONS, but sometimes i like to have a bit of chemistry to have a good time. if she's like pushy or time watcher, then you also won't have fun. But I think it's possible to straight dabao.

so i rather do that first with my girls, but most importantly, there's no min drinks for the girls or for yourself. Fortuna got min drinks for yourself, but i can't remember about for the girl. but i believe fortuna still need to buy drinks for the girl either ways.

Re: Hanoi
 

Yeah renovated after covid, very nice rooms now. design wise feels the same, but everything is new, TV and all the things are new. (or at most 2-3 years old only.) Oddly, their prices are also lower compared to 10 years ago.
Oh and they have Toto washlet now, if you are into that kind of thing. I am, so that's my go to hotel now.

They have 2 "restaurants" now, technically 3, but the other one is more like a private dining place. The chinese restaurant is the breakfast restaurant, the food is alright, but pricey. I usually go to the "food centre" in the same hotel building, just opposite the (literal) fish tanks for food, mostly chinese style food, so suits me, price is also more reasonable.

Re: Hanoi
 

forgot to add, if you are into massage, Hanoi got a spa, which has technically 2 places for massage, I usually just go to the "clean" side, which is for the foot massage. I will go sauna and hot bath and shower first, then go up for foot massage, you can ask the masseurs (who are dressed in black polo + pants) to massage your back, most of them can speak simple english.

then they also have the sexy girls massage, which you can choose from photo at the entrance, but they mostly only do HJ, nothing else. at least not for me. maybe more experienced folks will know more, but for me only HJ, so I don't really bother, since their massage very average, and I think the foot masseurs are better. so I just stick to them.

In some sense yes, Fortuna easier if you just stay there. but again, unless you got a lot of spare cash to burn, otherwise I would just go to hanoi hotel.

Re: Hanoi
 

Yes the "food center" on the left of the hotel if u are getting out of the main door.

Hanoi KTV used to have drinks buffet. Still available? It is good for ppl who can drink and sit in the main hall.

I am now always in Cay Giay district and stay in Novotel, sometimes very lazy to travel all the way to Hanoi hotel. :eek:

Re: Hanoi
 

Can dabao straight but no point. The fee is roughly 3x for ST and 2x for LT. No point. You just get the WeChat girls and you get overnight for ST price.

Re: Hanoi
 

For more than HJ, order the massage up to your room. Then it's private transaction and everything goes.

Re: Hanoi
 

KTV gers, at least u see the real person. Wechat gers are like Russian roulette. :D

Re: Hanoi
 

I find it's quite ok. You can reject them anyway. Don't give them your room number, when they arrive you can go down to meet them. But even if you give room number and they are ugly just say sorry, you don't look like your pictures, bye. As far as skills and service goes, its the same at KTV, you won't know till you bring back, and I find they end up being dead fish from the drinking.

Re: Hanoi
 

don't think they can order massage to room in Hanoi hotel bro. at least not from the hotel massage shop. Staff from KTV and Spa are not allowed up based on my understanding.

Re: Hanoi
 

Main hall i think no more, now only rooms and bar seats. I always go bar seats.
I don't sit in rooms since always 1 pax, no point go room, last time they were renovating the bar area, I had to go sit in a room and it was so awkward with the girl. room so big but also not like can do anything, end up sing some songs and then I dabao her back.
