One thing to keep in mind and this happens also in Saigon, though not sure if you have encountered it, is that in the smaller locally-owned hotels, the reception closes after a certain hours and usually the receptionist sleeps right by his desk. So, if you have to bring a guy over at night, you would have to wake the receptionist up. it can get a bit awkward and unpleasant for all, especially if the guy you bring over is not spending the night in your room. He would then have to wake up the receptionist again when he needs to leave your hotel.

In conclusion, if you want to stay in an hotel, I would go with a big-chain one, like Marriot, Hilton, etc. Yes, a bit more expensive, but it offers more flexibility.
Have a great trip and enjoy what Hanoi has to offer.
thank you so much
