The Somerset brand is a good choice throughout Vietnam for a family that might need a little extra room. These are primarily small apartments with multiple rooms and multiple televisions/bathrooms. You can bring in food of your own, but the breakfast buffet here beats anything you can whip up while on vacation.

The Somerset Grand in Hanoi is located near the Old Quarter and beautiful Hoàm Kiem Lake — a focal point of activities and people watching in Hanoi. The hotel includes a pool, fitness center and other amenities. The one thing the staff can’t control is the street noise. Be sure to ask for a room on a higher floor to ensure a good night’s sleep for everyone.
