Q- Where to stay in Hanoi, what hotel should we select? What are the room rates, is breakfast included?
A- There are many different options for hotels, both in Hanoi and other destinations. We select and recommend the best hotels in all budget ranges. For our package tours that include accommodation, we choose the best hotels in that destination. Breakfast is included at most hotels, our sales staff will inform you if it is not. On a private tour, the choice is yours.
Q- We want to book a double room, will it cost more?
A- You can always stay in a double room if it is available. Some hotels only offer twin accommodation. In some hotels a double room is a ‘deluxe’ room, so the rate is higher. On our boat trips in Halong Bay, we cannot promise you a double room as there are only a few. Please check with our sales staff for further information.
Q- What is single supplement?
A- The price is based on twin shared accommodation. Single supplement is the extra cost applied for those who want private rooms on the trip.
