GuInn

GuInn is a homestay in Hanoi’s French Quarter, 550 m from Hoan Kiem Lake, with recently renovated rooms and private bathrooms. It suits travellers wanting a small base near the Opera House, museums and lakeside walks. Guest comments highlight the helpful host, tidy interiors and comfortable beds, while the alley setting is quieter than the main street. Room choices include a King Room with a quiet-street view and a double room with a balcony and terrace overlooking the city.

Both room types measure 25 m² and have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. The property also has free WiFi, a shared kitchen and lounge, plus a terrace. Family rooms, luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services are available, alongside an airport shuttle. Free private parking is possible on site without a reservation. The homestay has a 24-hour front desk and private check-in/check-out, with check-in from 14:00 to 21:00; you are asked to share your expected arrival time in advance.

GuInn offers two 25 m² double-room options, each with an extra-large double bed, air conditioning, a flat-screen television and a private bathroom. Bathroom provisions include a bidet, hairdryer, slippers, towels and free toiletries, with bath or shower facilities. The King Room has a quiet-street view, plus a private entrance, wardrobe and safety deposit box.

The Double Room with Balcony (2 Adults + 1 Child) has the property’s city-facing outdoor space, with both a balcony and a terrace. Its city view distinguishes it from the King Room’s quiet-street outlook. The two room types share the same floor area and main in-room facilities, so the choice is between the King Room’s private entrance and the balcony room’s terrace overlooking the city.

GuInn combines shared spaces with practical services for a city stay. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation, and free WiFi reaches 96 Mbps, suitable for streaming and video calls across multiple devices. A shared kitchen has an electric kettle and refrigerator, while the shared lounge/TV area and terrace provide places to sit outside the bedroom. The property also offers an airport shuttle and a separate shuttle service, as well as luggage storage and private check-in/check-out.

Air conditioning is complemented by heating and a fan, and family and allergy-free rooms are available. Room facilities include a private bathroom, shower or bath, bidet, toiletries, towels and hairdryer. A flat-screen television with cable channels is provided. Laundry and dry cleaning, ironing facilities, a trouser press, a safety deposit box and a 24-hour front desk round out the services. Upper floors are accessible only by stairs.

GuInn is on Phố Tông Đản in Hanoi’s French Quarter, 550 m from Hoan Kiem Lake, the city-centre reference point. Guests describe the approach as a quiet alley away from main-street traffic. The Vietnam Museum of Revolution is 250 m away, and the Opera House is 300 m away. The surrounding blocks combine civic buildings, small green spaces and cafés, while the French Quarter’s broader streets contrast with the denser lanes north of the lake. Phở Phố is 50 m from the homestay, with cafés and restaurants along nearby streets.

Hanoi Railway station is 1.7 km away, while Noi Bai International Airport is 20.6 km away. A taxi can cover the final stretch from the station, and GuInn also offers an airport shuttle and a general shuttle service. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation; valet parking is also provided. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 21:00, and you should share your expected arrival time in advance. Upper floors are accessible only by stairs.

Vườn Hoa Hàng Vôi (300 m) and Vườn Hoa Lý Thái Tổ (400 m) are public gardens for a pause between visits. Hanoi Post Office (350 m) is a civic landmark along the surrounding streets, while Hoa Lo Historical Prison (1.1 km) makes a longer museum outing focused on Vietnam’s history. You can combine these visits on foot, with the smaller garden squares breaking up the walk between historic buildings and museum interiors.
