The Red sits in a red building right at the entrance to Dinh Thon street. You do not have to go deep into the Korean district to find it, so a first visit is straightforward. It is also one of the shortest walks from the Korean restaurants nearby.

The rooms were refitted cleanly, in red and black with lighting and sofas, and each room has its own toilet — so you never step out and never run into another group.

There are only about eight rooms. It stays quieter than the big venues, which suits groups who want a calm night. The flip side is that rooms go quickly on weekends and at peak hours, so reserve ahead.

A Korean manager is on site, so you can sort out choice and pricing in Korean on the spot, with no interpreter. Reviews speak well of how the manager handles guests.

The address is 5 Ng. 1 D. Dinh Thon, My Dinh, Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi. Telling a taxi driver "Dinh Thon" is enough, and the red building is obvious once you step out.

Tell us your group size and how long you plan to stay and we will work out the full room and service cost in advance, and check whether a room is free at the time you want.
