About
Matilda Boutique Hotel & Spa
Matilda Boutique Hotel & Spa sits in the middle of Hanoi's Old Quarter, putting you steps from shops, restaurants, and the city's most famous landmarks. The hotel packs a lot into its 32 rooms: a sun terrace, a shared lounge, and even karaoke for evenings when you'd rather stay in. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and the 24-hour reception means you're never left waiting, no matter when you arrive.
Rooms here come with the basics done right — air conditioning, soundproofing, and flat-screen TVs. The higher-tier options add city views and balconies, a nice touch for watching the street life below. On-site, you'll find a restaurant and snack bar, plus a spa that covers everything from massages to facials. Between the central location, the friendly staff, and the little extras like the nightly beer, this is a hotel that understands what budget-minded travellers in Hanoi actually want.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central Old Quarter location — Guests consistently praise the hotel's placement in the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter, within walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake, shops, and restaurants. One review notes a 7-minute walk to the lake; others mention easy access to the French Quarter and a traditional water puppet theatre.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Staff service scores highly (9.0 rating), and multiple guests single out the team for being accommodating, from organizing tours to assisting with requests at any hour.
- Free evening beer and social vibe — The hotel offers free beer for two hours each evening, creating a lively early-evening atmosphere that settles down later. Guests appreciate this unique perk, which adds to the value.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Room quality can be inconsistent — While many guests find rooms spacious and well-equipped, one reviewer had a negative experience with a small, narrow, smelly room and an unclean bathroom. Comfort scores just 6.2, suggesting variability between room types or dates.
- Breakfast may not meet all expectations — One guest describes the breakfast as 'very poor,' while others call it 'really good' or 'delicious with a wide variety.' Dining scores 8.4, but quality appears to fluctuate.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 23:59. If you're arriving late at night, you'll need to plan ahead since reception isn't available for check-in after midnight.
