First Hoianese Center Hotel
Description
First Hoianese Center Hotel sits close enough to the Old Town to walk there in minutes, but far enough that you’re not dealing with tourist-street noise at 11pm. The rooms are clean, the free upgrades appear to happen more than you’d expect, and the staff (Julie, Ann, and a rotating cast of equally helpful colleagues) are the main reason people come back.
The standout offering is a free three-hour walking tour of the Old Town, run by a guide named Cindy who actually explains what you’re looking at rather than pointing vaguely at old buildings. It’s the kind of orientation that saves you two days of confused wandering. The team also handles tour bookings and day-trip logistics without making you feel like you’re being upsold.
This is a hotel that earns its reputation through people rather than amenities. If you arrive wrecked from an overnight train, they’ll let you shower and have breakfast before check-in (this apparently just happens, not a formal policy – be grateful).
Highlights
- **Free Old Town walking tour** - three hours with a knowledgeable guide, included at no cost (tip the guide)
- **Strong location** - quiet enough to sleep, a short walk to the Old Town, restaurants, ATMs, and a few vintage shops
- **Flexible on arrival** - multiple guests mention being allowed early check-in perks like showers and breakfast after long journeys
- The free tour is guide-dependent; Cindy gets strong mentions but availability isn't guaranteed
