Hanoi Royal Palace Hotel 2

Quick Take: Hanoi Royal Palace Hotel 2

The name suggests grandeur, but reset that expectation before you book. Hanoi Royal Palace Hotel 2 sits at 95 Hàng Bông in the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter — one of the most sought-after addresses for travellers who want to walk to Hoan Kiem Lake, the night market, and the city's leading street food without needing a taxi. That location is the primary reason to consider it. Whether the property itself justifies a booking depends almost entirely on what you're comparing it against and what you prioritise.

Our venue database holds limited data for this property — no confirmed star rating, no published price range, no awards on record. That alone tells you something useful: this is not a hotel that competes on credentialed luxury. If you've stayed once and found it acceptable, the question for a return visit is whether upgrading your room category delivers a meaningful difference. In a smaller Old Quarter property like this, the gap between standard rooms and any suite-level option is often structural, more square footage in a tight floorplan, rather than a genuine service or amenity leap. Unless the property explicitly confirms butler service, a separate living area with meaningful views, or priority amenities tied to suite guests, the upgrade delta is hard to justify on evidence alone. Book the room that fits your budget and spend the difference at one of Hanoi's better restaurants, see our full Hanoi restaurants guide for where that money goes further.

The Old Quarter address on Hàng Bông does genuine work for you. The street sits at the edge of the silk and fabric district, within easy reach of Hoan Kiem Lake to the south and the main night market corridor. For a traveller who has been once and knows the neighbourhood, the practical question is whether this hotel's location offsets its limited verifiable credentials. The answer is: probably yes, if your itinerary is built around the Old Quarter and you're not expecting resort-level facilities. For anything beyond a clean, convenient base, look at properties with published ratings and facility data before committing. Explore the full Hanoi hotels guide for alternatives across price tiers. If you're planning around Vietnam more broadly, options like Capella Hanoi, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, or further afield at Amanoi in Vinh Hy and Six Senses Ninh Van Bay offer the kind of depth this property currently cannot match on paper.

Booking

Booking difficulty is rated Easy. The Old Quarter has high hotel density, and properties at this tier rarely sell out far in advance outside of Vietnamese public holidays and the October-to-March peak season. Book a few days out during low season; add a week of lead time if you're travelling November through February when Hanoi fills with both international visitors and domestic travellers. Check current availability directly, no booking method or direct reservation contact is confirmed in our data.
