There is a reason we return to the Conifer Hotel every year. It offers a clean, efficient rooms in a quiet neighborhood in central Hanoi. Within blocks are a number of bars (Tadioto) and restaurants, as well as Hoan Kiem Lake. And old town is nearby. The staff is worth special mention. They are extremely helpful, attentive, friendly, and speak English well (other languages, too). Excellent value for business or comfortable pleasure.
