Joseph’s Hotel

Hanoi


Tucked away in a calm lane dotted with boutique stores behind St Joseph Cathedral, this compact 10-room hotel features pastel tones, mod-Asian decor and breakfasts cooked to order. Try to secure a room with views of the church’s nearby towers, if its morning bells don't bother you. Balconies are available.
