Moving to, and living in, Hanoi is relatively easy. Different people have widely varying needs, but here are some resources that I found useful when I first moved to Hanoi.
I am relocating to Hanoi for one year August; I need to find a place to stay at a reasonable price (reasonable for my budget is US$600 to US$700 a month. Ideally should be somewhere fairly central <ie, close to or in Old Quarter>. Should be big enough for two people. ANY HELP OR ADVICE MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Thank you.
To the east sit two of Hanoi's premier hotels. You cannot find more opulence in more convenient locations than in the Hotel Sofitel Metropole Hanoi and the Hilton Hanoi Opera. These hotels spare no effort to please. To the south, the Thuy Nga Guesthouse affords views of the lake, and the Hoa Binh Hotel features 70 years of affordable splendor. Continuing west on Ly Thuong Kiet, the shiny towers of the Melia Hotel may beckon you or the boutique luxury of the Guoman Hotel.
