My husband and I have stayed at the Hanoi Hilton twice, and enjoy it very much. Both times, we succeeded in getting a rate of about $50/night. I had to check my desired dates for about two months on the Hilton website before I finally found an acceptable rate - they were heavily discounted thru Dec. 31, and we were arriving Jan 1. The rates finally dropped, and we grabbed them.
As Hilton Gold, we were automatically upgraded to the executive lounge and were sent there to check in. We like the hotel for many reasons - its newness, its location, its restaurants, its executive lounge, its health club, and the economical massages and reflexology available in the health club.
