The Urban Tranquil

The Urban Tranquil is an aparthotel in Tay Ho, Hanoi, with apartments offering views of West Lake or the city. Set on Phố Trích Sài, it combines private accommodation with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and suits travellers who value space to prepare simple meals or want to stay near the lakeside.

The three options include a standard double or twin room and two apartments, all with air conditioning and a kitchenette. The apartments add a balcony or patio, with one looking over the city and another towards the lake. Shared facilities include a terrace, family rooms, a lift, luggage storage and private check-in and check-out. You can join cycling, walking and cultural activities, or use the bicycle rental service. Free WiFi is available throughout. A paid airport shuttle can be arranged, while private parking is available nearby for a daily charge. Guests often praise the friendly, responsive staff and tidy interiors; some note traffic noise in street-facing parts of the building.

The accommodation range at The Urban Tranquil includes a 35 m² Standard Double or Twin Room, a 35 m² Apartment with City View and a more compact 30 m² Apartment with Lake View. Each option has air conditioning, a private bathroom and a kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator and kitchenware. The standard room has a quiet street outlook, while the apartments bring outdoor space or a water view.

The city-view apartment has a balcony and patio, as well as a seating area and flat-screen TV. In the lake-view apartment, the view is the defining feature, complemented by a seating and dining area. The standard room also provides a dining area and desk, with a walk-in shower and bidet in its bathroom. These differences help you choose between a street-facing room, an apartment with city views and outdoor space, or a smaller apartment overlooking the lake.

The shared facilities include a terrace, lift, family rooms and non-smoking rooms. You can use the luggage storage, private check-in and check-out, currency exchange and daily housekeeping. For activities, the property offers cycling and bicycle rental, as well as bike tours, walking tours, cooking classes, cultural tours, themed dinner nights and movie nights. A water park is also among the available facilities.

A snack bar and tea and coffee makers are provided. The apartments have kitchenettes, while free WiFi is available throughout the property. Airport shuttle service is available for a charge. Private parking is located nearby rather than on site and costs VND 100,000 per day; a reservation is not needed. Other practical services include laundry, dry cleaning and ironing. Air conditioning and heating are available, and the building has 24-hour security.

The Urban Tranquil is on Phố Trích Sài in Tay Ho, beside West Lake, with direct access to the waterfront and nearby cycling paths. The street has a quiet residential feel, while food and coffee stops are close by: Bia Cường Hói is 100 m away, Phở Bò Tái Chín is 150 m away, and Coffee & Cocktail Guild is 50 m away. The aparthotel is 4.2 km from Hanoi’s centre around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Private parking is at a nearby location for VND 100,000 per day, with no reservation needed. The entrance is on Phố Trích Sài; you need to tell the property your expected arrival time in advance. Check-in is available from 14:00 to 23:00. With the West Lake waterfront beside the building, you can begin a lakeside walk or cycle ride from Tay Ho rather than travelling across Hanoi first.
