Rooms: family, connecting or two rooms

On Booking, filter by number of travellers and read the listing: the maximum capacity may count extra beds. If you need connecting rooms, ask the hotel in writing, since they are not guaranteed at booking. Also ask for a cot and the breakfast hours.

Pool and services

A pool makes the difference in the afternoon, when heat or rain cuts sightseeing; many small central hotels have none, or only on the roof. For a choice with a pool, see hotels with a pool in Hanoi.

Which area with children

Around Hoan Kiem Lake everything is close and the streets are pedestrian on weekends, which is reassuring with children; nights are noisy, though. Areas further west, towards West Lake, are calmer but need a ride for each outing. For activities, read Hanoi with kids.

Three real family hotels (listings read on 29 October 2026)

Facts below come from each hotel's own page where it loaded (Lotte) and from Accor, Agoda, Expedia and Booking-type listings read on 29 October 2026. Check pool hours, child rates and room types before booking.

  • Lotte Hotel Hanoi (54 Lieu Giai Street, Giang Vo, inside Lotte Center). The hotel's own page lists an indoor and an outdoor pool; a listing adds family rooms and a score of 9.2, and puts Hoan Kiem Lake about 6 minutes away by car. Why pick it: two pools and a high score. Limit: it is not in the Old Quarter, so you need a taxi, and its page does not mention a kids' club.
  • Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi Centre (83A Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hoan Kiem). Accor's family page mentions family suites, a pool, children's menus and babysitting; scores on listings are around 8.5 to 8.6. Why pick it: central, within walking range of the Old Quarter. Limit: I did not find an official page confirming pool hours or child rates.
  • Sheraton Hanoi Hotel (K5 Nghi Tam, 11 Xuan Dieu Road, Tay Ho). West Lake is about a one-minute walk; one listing mentions a kids' pool and a Kids Club, and Ho Tay Water Park is about 5 minutes by car; Expedia shows 8.8. Why pick it: space and water for children by the lake. Limit: far from the Old Quarter, and the Kids Club appears on a single listing only.
