I was told that my singtel autoroam cannot use there...iszit true?

 

[natas]

Anyone can advise which of the following hotel is better in terms of accessibility in Hanoi? For eg; going to tourist attraction such has ha long bay?

Hanoi Sheraton Hanoi Hotel K5 Nghi Tam
Hanoi Sofitel Plaza Hanoi 1 Thanh Nien Road
Hanoi InterContinental Hanoi Westlake 1A Nghi Tam, Tay Ho District
Hanoi Hilton Hanoi Opera 1 Le Thanh Tong Street, Hoan Kiem D
Hanoi Sofitel Metropole Hanoi 15 Ngo Quyen Street

Wow all the hotels mentioned r expensive hotels. Halong Bay is about 3-4 hrs drive. So non of the hotel mentioned is near.

InterCont, Sheraton, Sofitel Plaza are closed to one another in west lake. I will suggest either Hilton or Sofitel Metropole, with a lot of shops nearby to spend your time.

yeah.....hanoi itself i blive nothg much ( im gng in dec )........
it's sapa and halong bay that are attractions if u into sceneries etc....

Dec, sapa will be freezing

Sheraton, nothing much to shop there, hop into a taxi n go hoan kiem to shop. Interestingly, "Geylang" is nearby your hotel

During Dec, it seldom rain in Hanoi. But the weather will be cold. For Sapa, the weather will drop below 15 deg. Fat will not last.... Check this out, http://www.sapa-vietnam.com/sapa-weather/index.htm

hahahah

jetstar $128 return next month, i think price is cheap, although tiger cost $119, i would prefer jetstar given the fact of t1 departure. also checked hotel price, really not bad, average US$50+/night of course there are cheaper but US$50/night is alright.

really tempting ****.

wish u have nice trips.

hahahah

Guys...

can you rent a bike at hanoi without a valid local license? what's the chances of getting caught? and if get caught what can i do?

I got caught at about 3am+ vung tau toward ba ria. 2 cong an with mp5 road block, i got no license to ride. They asked for 500,000 dong equal to SGD 40+ .. so i give them . Afterward i carry on with my riding.
