Summary:

Especen hotel is one of the first mini hotels since 1990s located in the center of the Old Quarter in Hanoi. It is just a stone through from St. Joseph's Church (Cathedral) on a quiet alley off of Au Trieu street. This convenient location allows us to be just a 5 minutes walk from Hoan Kiem lake, Vietnam Airlines booking office & Quang Trung bus stop (for service to Noi Bai international airport). You can get all famous travel points, restaurants, craft shops, pubs and art galleries,... as soon as you step on to the main road.

The Petit Futé guidebook talk about our hotel as: A small hotel nestled in the maze of streets that surround the Cathedral. Wake to the sound of bells and panoramic view of Hanoi rooftops ocher.
