Has anyone got a good idea of which area in Hanoi would be best for me? Gonna spend at least a week there getting shit organised, want to be fairly central for walking the old quarters but not necessarily in those quarters, don't mind going local in terms of Nha Nhgi type places as I don't need much in the way of comforts. A hard mattress, hot water, clean n secure with good WiFi and some decent eating and drinking nearby.
Cheers for any replies.
Hanoi, which area to stay in?

Plenty of accommodation in the old quarters for cheap. Check the room first, even tho they hassle you at some.
I love bitches n gonna fuck Texas and the USA+ right up their god damn ass! Hallelujah!

Hanoi - possibly the most beautiful city in all of South East Asia, but now under assault by terrible pollution. Sad.

Rather than stay right around the tourist district lake of Ho Hoan Kiem I'd be tempted to stay around the lake of Ho Truch Bach, on the SE corner of West Lake (Ho Tay). Then you have a nice stroll down to the old town, drinking bia hoi as you go or a cycle through the beautiful architecture of the gov/military district on your way.
The touts bang in the tourist district can be pretty annoying. You'll get enough of that when you go to Halong.

^^ Cheers my good man. I was actually looking at that area earleir and tbinking it might be a good spot especially as it's near to a recommended cycle shop. However, the last time I followed your advice I ended up in some toilet on the beach near Hoi An in a typhoon.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
