Hanoi's HOTTEST Skylake Vinhomes Near Korean Town! (Nanahousing)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Hanoi's HOTTEST Skylake Vinhomes Near Korean Town (Nanahousing)! Forget those cookie-cutter hotel reviews, this is going to be raw, real, and probably a little disorganized, but hey, that's life, right? Let's do this!
First Impressions (and a little bit of a sweat):
Okay, first things first: Finding Nanahousing. This is Hanoi, people! GPS can be a fickle mistress. I'm sweating buckets already, lugging my bag through what I think is the right alley. A local with a perpetually confused look pointed vaguely upwards. Yep, building, check. Phew.
Accessibility, the Smooth and the… Not So Smooth:
Getting in was a bit of a struggle, let's be honest. Hanoi's not exactly known for its accessible infrastructure, and Nanahousing, while claiming facilities for disabled guests, felt a little… aspirational in that regard. Think: a few ramps, but not always perfectly positioned, you know? They could really improve there. The elevators are a lifesaver though, and I'm getting better at dodging the scooters.
Rambling About the Rooms (Because, You Know, My Opinion):
Okay, let's talk about the rooms. They’re… nice. Seriously modern, clean lines, that whole "luxury apartment" vibe going strong. I took one look at the air conditioning and yelled "HALLELUJAH!" It's Hanoi, and it's humid. The blackout curtains? Absolute gold. Slept like a baby, which is saying something considering the pre-dawn rooster serenades I had to endure. Oh, and the free Wi-Fi? Glorious. Needed it for, you know, "research." đŸ˜‰
- What I LOVED: The bed. Seriously, a cloud. Oh, the toiletries were actually decent quality. And the coffee maker! Bless.
- What Could Be Better: The view… not the greatest. My window looked more into another building, which wasn't great. Also, that extra long bed? I'm 5’9”, so its a bit much. I'm not complaining.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking! My Foodie Adventure:
Right, this is where things get interesting! The restaurants (plural!) were pretty impressive. There’s a nice little cafe downstairs for coffee (crucial!), a proper restaurant serving Asian and Western cuisines (I went for the pho, obviously – amazing), and a poolside bar for… well, poolside drinking.
- *The Pho Experience: I'm not kidding, the pho alone is worth the price of admission. Rich broth, tender beef, perfect noodles. I ate there three times. *Three times!* Okay, four.
- Happy Hour, Happy Me: The bar, though… well, they're enthusiastic with the cocktails. I might have gotten a little too happy one evening. Good times! The sunset views from the poolside are magical.
- The Little Things: They do a breakfast takeaway service. Brilliant for a quick bite before exploring the city. They've also got a shop for essentials.
Things to Do (and How to Relax, AKA My Self-Care Rituals):
Hanoi is intense. Seriously. You NEED to decompress. I needed to decompress.
- The Pool with a View: This is where I spent a good chunk of my time. Seriously, the pool with view is a LIFE SAVER. The best part? You can order drinks delivered to you. Winning!
- The Spa: Okay, the spa was a mixed bag. The massage was decent, but the sauna was… well, it was a sauna. Not the most luxurious I've experienced, but hey, it got the job done.
- Gym/Fitness: I’m not much of a gym person, but it had a decent gym too. Good for those who want to at least pretend they're healthy.
Cleanliness and Safety (because, you know, this is important these days):
Okay, I'm not a germaphobe, but I appreciate clean. Nanahousing, the staff were taking Covid precautions seriously, which made me feel a lot better. Hand sanitizers everywhere, staff wearing masks, and a generally clean environment. They were also sanitizing rooms. Also, I can't tell if the anti-viral cleaning products got to me, or maybe I'm just now sick, but I'm sure it's just the Hanoi, not the hotel.
Services and Conveniences (the stuff that makes life easier):
The staff were great. Super helpful, always smiling, and went out of their way to help me. Concierge also a bonus!
- The Laundry: Absolutely critical. Especially if you’re like me and pack like you're going on a week-long camping trip.
- Currency Exchange/ Cash Withdrawal: Very handy!
- Airport Transfer: Highly recommend it! Hanoi traffic is its own special kind of madness.
For the Kids (and Babysitting Service!):
I didn't bring kids, but the hotel has kid facilities. Though I wish I was a baby again…
Getting Around (the chaos, the glory):
Okay, I’m biased here. Hanoi in general is a challenge.
- Taxi Service: Use it. Trust me.
- Car Park [on-site]: They have parking! This is a miracle in Hanoi. The scooters will still try to eat your car though.
My Verdict (the messy, honest truth):
Look, Nanahousing isn’t perfect. It's got its quirks (and the accessibility needs some work), but overall, it's a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are great, the food is delicious, the pool is amazing, and the staff are lovely. It's a solid base for exploring Hanoi.

Escape to Royal Luxury: Celtic Hotel & Spa's Caernarfon Getaway
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're hitting Nanahousing-Vinhomes Skylake, smack dab in the middle of Hanoi's Korean Town. Prepare for a delightful mess, because that's how I roll when I'm not glued to a screen!
The "Hanoi, Hold My Beer" Adventure: Where the Pho Flows and the Reality Bites
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pho Hunt (and Subsequent Regret)
- Morning (Slightly Delayed): Landing in Hanoi. Honestly, the customs line felt longer than my last relationship. (Too soon?) Found my pre-booked Grab to Nanahousing. The driver, bless his heart, was a maniac. Weaved through traffic like a caffeinated mosquito. Made it, miraculously, in one piece.
- Check-in Chaos & Apartment Assessment: Nanahousing… okay, it's got potential. My apartment? Tiny but clean. The AirCon, however, is the main character. It's the star of the show. I feel like a cat watching it, judging it, and simultaneously needing it.
- Lunch (The Pho Quest Begins…and Ends Badly): Time to eat! I needed pho. Like, a spiritual need. Found a place near my apartment. It smelled divine; the broth was…watery. The beef… chewy. A deep, guttural disappointment. My first taste of local cuisine, and I botched it. I cried a little. Okay, a lot. "Maybe this city isn't for me" I mumbled.
- Afternoon (Recovering with Coffee and a Stroll): Sucked it up, buttercup. I needed caffeine. And something sweet. Found a cute little cafe, “The Bean Scene". The coffee was STRONG. Sweet Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. The walking tour of the neighborhood turned into a stroll. The people-watching game was strong. The chaotic energy of the city is a bit nuts, BUT I love it.
- Evening (Korean Town Reconnaissance & Karaoke Contemplation): Vinhomes Skylake is practically a Korean enclave. My introverted self nearly combusted. I’m not a naturally social person, and the thought of karaoke…well, it had me contemplating life choices again. I made it to the Korean market to get supplies. Later, the karaoke plan got scrapped, because, you guessed it, I'm a coward.
Day 2: The Temple Tango, Egg Coffee Euphoria…and the Existential Dread of the Motorbike
- Morning (Temple Triumph & Breakfast Redemption): Checked out the temple near HoĂ n Kiếm Lake. It was supposed to be peaceful. But the crowds! The energy was palpable, wild, and overwhelming. Managed to appreciate the history and architecture. Breakfast: Finally found a pho place that delivered. My faith in pho… partially restored.
- Mid-day (Egg Coffee Nirvana & Street Food Mishaps): Had the famous egg coffee. Oh. My. God. Liquid gold. I could live on that. Now, for street food. Found a place selling spring rolls. Then I ate the wrong ones. Next time, I will be more careful about reading the descriptions.
- Afternoon (The Motorbike Malaise): I tried to rent a motorbike. I actually did it. This is a big deal for me! But then I saw the traffic. I'd have a heart attack, and the thought of dodging a thousand bikes scared the hell out of me. I opted for a Grab instead. Maybe tomorrow.
- Evening (Rambling Through the Old Quarter & the Bargaining Blues): Wandered through the Old Quarter, a labyrinth of shops and vendors. The bargaining is a game for the brave. I'm not brave. Paid far too much for a scarf. Then, felt guilty about my inability to haggle. And hungry. More spring rolls. Again, the wrong ones.
Day 3: Water Puppets, Tailoring Temptation, and the "I'm Leaving Tomorrow" Panic.
- Morning (Water Puppet Wonders): Saw the water puppet show. It was bizarre, charming, and completely nonsensical. I loved it. The music was so loud; the puppets were so good!
- Mid-day (Tailoring Terrors & Temptation): The tailor shops were calling my name. "Come buy a suit, a dress! I'll make you look amazing!" I was so tempted. Maybe later. A friend told me about a place that sold customized clothes. I spent the afternoon looking around to see if it was legit.
- Afternoon (Banh Mi & Souvenir Scramble): Banh mi for lunch. Best decision ever. Pure, unadulterated joy. Now, souvenir shopping. I bought all the things! The anxiety of "I'm leaving tomorrow" hits, I started feeling it.
- Evening (Farewell Feast & Reflection): Went to a fancy restaurant. Ate so much. Overate. Had a bit too much wine. Sat on my balcony, watching the city lights. Realized how much I've grown to love this chaotic, beautiful place. Feeling the bittersweet sentimentality of saying goodbye. The air is thick with the scents of street food, and the distant hum of motorbikes. I guess I'll be back.
Final Thoughts:
This trip wasn't perfect. I ate questionable pho, nearly got run over by a motorbike, and spent a small fortune on scarves. But it was mine. It was messy, emotional, and full of unexpected moments. Nanahousing – you were a good starting point. Hanoi, I'll see you again, and next time I'm going to ride that damn motorbike!

Hanoi's Skylake Vinhomes: Nanahousing - The Whole Mess, in Questions (and Maybe Answers?)
Okay, lay it on me straight: Is Skylake Vinhomes actually the "hottest" place in Hanoi, like, *really*? Nanahousing's hype is intense!
Alright, alright, settle down, buttercup. "Hottest"? That depends on your definition of "hot." Is it visually stunning? Yeah, those towers are impressive, especially at night. Is it convenient, being near the Korean Town? Absolutely, if you're into Korean BBQ at 2 AM (guilty!). Nanahousing, bless their hearts, *does* go a bit overboard. They're good at marketing, but also… let's just say, they're *very* enthusiastic. Think of a golden retriever with a LinkedIn profile. It's not the most authentic Hanoi experience, but it's definitely… modern. And the views? Seriously, the views from the upper floors… I once almost cried during a sunset watching the city twinkle. Okay, I *did* cry. Don't judge me, the beer might have been involved.
Nanahousing: Are they actually trustworthy? Heard mixed things online.
Trustworthy? That's the million-dong question, isn't it? Let's put it this way: do your due diligence. Read *everything* you can find. Nanahousing, like any agency, has its pros and cons. They're persistent (good for finding you a place, sometimes annoying when you're swamped), and they *know* Skylake. They’re like the gatekeepers of the golden kingdom. But… I've heard tales. Always check the lease, always ask for multiple viewings, and NEVER be afraid to negotiate. I personally had a decent experience, but I'm also ridiculously cautious. My friend, on the other hand… let's just say he learned the hard way about hidden "administrative fees." I’m going to put it gently, the fees needed more explanation.
What's the deal with rent at Skylake? Is it ridiculously expensive? I'm on a budget!
"Ridiculously expensive" is relative, my friend. Compared to a tiny, run-down *pho* shop apartment in the Old Quarter? Yes. Compared to a shoebox in London? No. Skylake is definitely on the pricier side, especially for the prime locations with epic views. Expect to pay a premium for the amenities – the pools, the gym, the "luxury lifestyle" vibe. You can find deals, especially if you look for smaller units or are willing to compromise on the floor level. But don't expect a steal. Remember, you're paying for the views, the convenience, and the… well, the perceived status. And let's be honest, the status is sometimes worth it when you just need a break from the daily Hanoi grind!
Okay, the Korean Town thing. Is it *really* that good? I love Korean food... and karaoke.
Oh, you're in for a treat. Korean Town is a culinary and… entertainment… wonderland. The Korean food? Delicious. The karaoke? Gloriously, wonderfully awful (in a good way!). You can stumble out of a BBQ joint, into a karaoke bar, and then… well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination. It's loud, it's vibrant, and it's a fantastic escape. Plus, if you're homesick for Korea, it's like a little piece of home. Just… pace yourself. Those soju shots? They sneak up on you. And the next morning… well, let's just say a strong coffee and a good *bibimbap* are essential.
What's the vibe like inside Skylake? Is it full of expats, or is it a mix?
It's a mix! You'll find a decent number of expats, a lot of affluent Vietnamese families, and plenty of young professionals. It's not a "party all night" kind of place, although the pool parties *do* happen (and sometimes they're epic). It’s more of a… comfortable, modern, slightly "sterile" environment. Think clean lines, shiny surfaces, and the faint scent of… something expensive. You’ll see more people walking dogs than chasing pigeons, and generally the elevators are clean. If you're looking for the raw, chaotic energy of Hanoi, you *won't* find it here. But if you want a safe, convenient, and relatively quiet place to call home, Skylake might just be your jam. The gym is also seriously good. That’s a big plus, right?
Are there any downsides? Because, let's be real, everything has them.
Oh, absolutely. Where do I even begin? The traffic getting in and out of the area during rush hour is a NIGHTMARE. Seriously, prepare to add an extra hour to your commute if you’re not a scooter person. The apartments can be, dare I say it… a little bit generic. They all feel the same after a while. And while the amenities are great, they can get crowded, especially on weekends. And, this is a big one for me: the lack of authentic Vietnamese life. You're kind of in a bubble. You're surrounded by modern conveniences, but you're also a bit removed from the real Hanoi. If you want to truly experience the city, you'll have to venture out – and that traffic…
Okay, the pool(s)? They look amazing in all the photos. Are they actually swim-able?
The pools… ah, yes, the pools. They *are* amazing, especially at sunset. And yes, they're swim-able! They're well-maintained (usually), and the view… oh, the view! I could spend all day there. And I almost have, on more than one occasion. The only catch? They get *packed*. Weekends are a no-go. You'll be fighting for a sun lounger. The music can sometimes be… well, it's not always my cup of tea, but hey, at least they *have* music. And the occasional pool party? Pure gold. Just remember your sunscreen. Seriously. That Hanoi sun is brutal. I speak from experience - trust me!
What about the gym? Do they have good equipment?
The gym? Alright, alright, I'm sold. It's one of the best things about the place. They have decent equipment, enough treadmills, a good selection of weights, and usually it's clean. Compared to some other gyms in Hanoi, it’s almost a luxury. I've actuallyHotel Adventure
