Especen hotel is
one of the first mini hotels built
since the 1990s located in the center of the
Old Quarter in Hanoi. It is just a stone’s throw from
St. Joseph's Church (Cathedral) on a quiet alley
off of Au Trieu Street. This convenient location allows you to be
just a 5 minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, Vietnam Airlines booking
office & Quang Trung bus stop (for service to Noi Bai International
airport). You can get to all the famous travel points, restaurants,
craft shops, pubs and art galleries,... as soon as you step on to
the main road.
The
Petit Futé
guidebook describes our hotel as: A small hotel nestled in the maze
of streets that surround the Cathedral. Wake to the sound of bells
and a panoramic view of Hanoi rooftops ocher (Petit hôtel niché dans
le lacis des ruelles qui enserrent la cathédrale. Réveil au son des
cloches et vue panoramique sur les toits ocre de Hanoi).
In an adventure book name "The House on Dream Street: Memoir of an
American Woman in Vietnam" the writer said that: "... I caught the
familiar sounds of "Green Bamboo;" "Especen," and "Darling Café;"
Hanoi's most well known hubs for low-budget travelers.
