A 24-hour front desk anchors the service side, backed by a tour desk, luggage storage, currency exchange, daily housekeeping, laundry and room service.

Practical touches include a lift, family rooms, and 24-hour security with CCTV in the common areas.
Amanda Boutique Hotel & Travel is on Phố Cầu Gỗ, at the southern edge of Hanoi's Old Quarter in Hoan Kiem district, right beside Hoan Kiem Lake. Most travellers arrive at Noi Bai International Airport, around 24 km north; a private car or taxi takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, the airport minibus is a cheaper shared option, and the hotel can arrange an airport shuttle if you book ahead. Hanoi Railway Station, the departure point for trains to Sapa, Ninh Binh and Hue, is about 1.5 km away, only a few minutes by taxi or a 20-minute walk. Once you are here the Old Quarter is best explored on foot: the lanes are narrow and busy, so keep valuables close and cross the road steadily and predictably. Grab (the local ride-hailing app) and metered taxis are cheap for longer hops, and the hotel's bike hire, tour desk and car hire help with day trips further out.
You could not be more central for the classic sights. Hoan Kiem Lake, with its red Huc Bridge and Ngoc Son Temple, is a five-minute stroll, and on Friday to Sunday evenings the streets around it close to traffic for the lively walking-street night market. The Old Quarter's "36 streets", each traditionally tied to a trade, spread out to the north, while Dong Xuan Market and the cathedral are within easy reach. History lovers can walk to Hoa Lo Prison and the National Museum of Vietnamese History in around 15 minutes, or head slightly further to the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, the Temple of Literature and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex. Come hungry: this district is one of the best places in Vietnam for pho, bun cha and egg coffee, much of it sold from tiny pavement stalls just outside the door.
