We recommend requesting a room that’s not at the front of the Jasmine hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam. Though they do a great job with the rooms, they would have a very hard time blocking the city noises of Hanoi from the street to any of the rooms on the front of the hotel. At the Jasmine Hotel, our room was small but nice, and because it was quite cold the 2 nights we were there, they gave us an extra comforter.
