# Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi Review

The [Hilton Garden Inn](http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/vietnam/hilton-garden-inn-hanoi-HANOPGI/index.html) is located just south of Hoan Kiem - the center of attention in [Hanoi](http://www.mightytravels.com/2016/11/my-favorite-31-things-to-do-hanoi/). It's about a 5-minute walk to the south shore.

I had booked using the app (with the[current VISA promotion](http://www.mightytravels.com/2016/11/wow-even-more-miles-for-hotel-bookings-8000-flying-blue-miles-for-a-two-night-stay-or-5000-hilton-honors-with-these-promotions/)) and rates were just $57 plus tax for a weekday stay.

At check-in there must have been 10 front desk agents waiting for anything to do. I was happily greeted, but it took three agents a while to get me checked in. I was upgraded to a suite without asking :)

The suite indeed looked fantastic and since the hotel is brand new it was in excellent shape. The bed was superb with a great duvet and firm mattress.

The suite had two bathrooms. I wasn't too happy with the rain shower though, as it was impossible to control the temperature before you entered the shower. That was a cold awakening!

The internet was really slow and I gave up explaining what 'Premium Internet' means after a few minutes. The level of English at the front desk was minimal.

The breakfast was on par with many Hilton properties; it's usually terrible and so was this, with the exception of a few items. Since Hilton basically gives it away, it's done incredibly cheap.

There was a complimentary (!) self-service laundry right next to my suite. The washer was very audible which wasn't great, but I was able to get my laundry done easily.

The hotel is a great deal for a brand new Hilton property. It really needs to work on faster internet to make me come back, though.
