Somewhere to stay…

The CELTA course centre in Hanoi doesn’t help you out with finding or recommending accommodation. Fortunately Hanoi is full of hotels and guesthouses that don’t cost the earth so finding somewhere to stay is not really a problem.

The Old Quarter is definitely the most popular place to find a hotel. It’s the tourist centre of the city and every street it seems has at least a couple of hotels on it. I found somewhere to stay in the northern part of the Old Quarter, which now that I know the language school is in the southern part of the city, seems like it’s going to be a good walk every morning and night, but… the hotel owner is really friendly and the room I have is big for one person. I have free internet and breakfast and it feels very safe and secure. The going rate for budget guesthouses seems to be around the $10-15 mark.

The street around the corner from my hotel.
Hang Vai is the street for buying bamboo ladders.
