Provided you can manage crossing the streets with the constant stream of cars, buses and motor bikes you are in a very central location for shopping, tour offices, cafes, bars and restaurants.

Hoa Binh is located in the heart of the Old Quarter, which is perfect for shopping in Hanoi.

It had a great view of the street market which was directly opposite, and if you're an early riser you'll see the locals gettings their fresh foods, and the big tubs of jumping fish out the front!

There are some lovely little craft shops on that street, the products are of good quality and very good value compared with other towns in Vietnam, also an excellent dressmaker who makes beautiful embroidered clothing and ballgowns.

All the great shopping (Pho Hang Gai is a good place to start) is within easy walking distance.

The location of the hotel on Hang Be street is good just opposite a large local market with restaurants ( recommend the Green Tangerine ), gifts shops and tour operators.

The taste of the shop was really bad.
