Golden Sun Villa Hotel is a small villa-style hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter, within walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake and St. Joseph's Cathedral. Breakfast is cooked to order from a menu rather than served as a buffet, with pho and banana pancakes available. The walk to Hoan Kiem Lake takes about five minutes, and the hotel sits in an alley off the main road, so traffic noise is limited. Rooms have an old feel and sound insulation from the next room is weak.
