The hotel surprised me with a pleasant and quiet stay, offering clean rooms and obliging service, although with limited dining options. The location was superb, providing a peaceful retreat away from the busy areas. Just be cautious of taxi scams in the area.

After a few days away on a side trip, returning to the Army Hotel was like coming back to a clean and basic room with decent amenities, including a TV with various channels and free wifi. The room had two enormous beds, perfect for a comfortable stay, even though some fittings were a bit worn. The location turned out to be surprisingly central yet quiet, offering a peaceful atmosphere without the usual city noise. However, the dining experience was not so great, lacking variety and freshness in the served dishes.

The hotel offers a mix of luxury and outdated decor. The rooms are spacious with a big bathroom featuring a 'spa', though the overall 1960s dark brown decor and aged furniture may not appeal to everyone. The service is inconsistent, with some staff being uninterested and unfriendly. The location is quiet and convenient, ideal for relaxing after exploring the vibrant streets of Hanoi. The dining options are limited but somewhat satisfying with a mix of Asian and Western food. The facilities are average, lacking modern amenities.

During my stay at this hotel, I found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and had a balcony with a nice view of the pool, but the furnishings were inconsistent. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with some staff being wonderful and accommodating, while others were unfriendly and lacking in hospitality. The location turned out to be surprisingly quiet for a central spot, making it convenient for exploring the city on foot. The dining experience left much to be desired, with average food quality and a bug issue in the restaurant. Despite these ups and downs, the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with two enormous beds, providing a bedroom, sitting room, and a large bathroom, all kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay. The service is professional and friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience. The location is convenient, quiet, and just 100 meters from the Opera House, offering a peaceful sanctuary from the busy streets. The dining experience was basic, with some cold dishes, but overall acceptable. The facilities are decent, with the potential for enhancement in some areas.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, featuring a large bedroom and lounge cum office with Vietnamese local furniture. However, the lack of tea or coffee-making amenities was a downside. The service was friendly but slightly distracted at times. The location, behind the Opera House in a quiet area, was convenient and peaceful. The dining experience was subpar, although the buffet offered a variety of options. The hotel facilities were decent.
