Hanoi, from the door
The house sits on Bà Triệu, a wide street south of the lake. Almost everything a first visit to Hanoi involves is within half an hour on foot.

From the airport
Nội Bài is about 45 minutes by car outside rush hour, longer between 17:00 and 19:00. A metered taxi or a Grab from the arrivals hall is the simplest option and costs roughly the same either way; agree the fare or use the app price before you set off.
We can also arrange a driver to meet you at arrivals with your name for a fixed fee — ask when you send your request, and tell us the flight number. If you land in the small hours, that is usually the easier choice.
Six things nearby
Our shortlist within walking distance.
Phở Thìn Lò Đúc
Stir-fried beef phở, thick with spring onion. Ten minutes east, best before nine in the morning.
Cà phê trứng at Giảng
Egg coffee in a tiled alley near the lake — order it hot and sit upstairs.
Hàng Trống street
The street that gave the folk prints their name, and still the place to buy one.
Hoàn Kiếm Lake
Twenty minutes on foot. Walk it early, before seven, when the whole city is doing the same.
Hanoi Opera House
Fifteen minutes away. Worth checking the programme even for one evening.
Hai Bà Trưng temple
The temple to the two sisters the district is named after, quiet on weekday mornings.
