The Silk Path Hotel is one of the most upscale hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter, providing far more facilities than most properties in this neighborhood. The 106-room hotel is located on the edge of the old town, and it's a 10-minute walk to Hoan Kiem Lake. Rooms have modern, clean, carpeted interiors, and flat-screen TVs, plus free Internet and rainfall showers in some. An elegant breakfast buffet is served for a fee, plus there are three bars and two restaurants as well as a hot tub, steam rooms, and saunas. Guests looking for a pool should consider Hanoi Tirant Hotel -- rates are lower, though decor isn't quite as stylish.

Located outside central Hanoi, this sprawling, 318-room luxury hotel benefits from a lakeside setting. Some of its rooms and suites are located in pavilions directly over the lake, offering scenic views from their balconies. The elegant rooms are stylishly decorated in earthy tones, and feature chic Vietnamese accents like bamboo lanterns and wooden window shutters. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and luxurious marble bathrooms with separate rainfall showers and tubs -- but in-room Wi-Fi incurs a fee. The resort-like property has three restaurants as well as a bar and lounge, while wellness facilities include a spa, a bright and airy fitness center, and an outdoor swimming pool. Travelers looking to stay in central Hanoi might prefer the stunning five-pearl Apricot Hotel, which offers similar amenities.

The 89-room Grand Silverland Hotel & SPA is a modern upper-middle-range hotel in the popular Ben Thanh Market area, which is home to tons of shopping and dining. Classic, clean, and oftentimes colorful rooms and suites have flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning, and while many include whirlpool tubs, some units lack windows.

The 26-room Vinh Hung Library Hotel is a cute three-pearl property offering great value and an unexpected library theme. It's located right in the city center, within easy walking distance of major attractions such as the Japanese Bridge, and many restaurants and tailors. Rooms are stylish and contemporary, and come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. But while Deluxe Rooms have small balconies overlooking the street, Superior Rooms lack windows (which is a rarity in Hoi An) and are small. The compact rooftop pool is a great perk for a hot day, and the free breakfast buffet offers a range of hot and cold items, including made-to-order eggs. Despite the hotel’s central location, noise is generally not an issue. Those seeking to stay away from the hustle and bustle may want to compare rates at the charming Muca Hoi An Boutique Resort, a 10-minute drive from the Ancient Town.

The nine-room Orchid Garden Villas is a cute three-pearl boutique catering to families and couples on a budget. Rooms are spacious and clean, with solid amenities such as air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and electric kettles. There are also a few bigger bungalows -- some with a full kitchen and two bathrooms -- that can sleep up to four adults. The pool is small but lovely, with colorful plants and two loungers, and the restaurant serves good traditional regional cuisine in an airy dining room overlooking the garden. Freebies such as a la carte breakfast, Wi-Fi, and loaner bikes add value, but the hotel lacks shuttle service to the city center, which some other similarly priced properties (such as the Lotus Hoi An Boutique Hotel & Spa) do offer.
