If you plan to stay for a month or two, it is best to stay in a serviced apartment like Somerset Grand Hanoi. They have 2-room apartments that is fully-furnished. You come in only with your luggage, your family and your excitement as a tourist, and you are immediately ready to hit the ground running. SGH is superbly located in Hai Ba Trung St. Beside it is a tourist spot called the "Hanoi Hilton" or Hoa Lo Prison, a prison facility for American prisoners during the Vietnam War. They have on display the jumpsuit of US Senator John McCain when he was captured/downed at West Lake. Question: how did they have the foresight that the fellow will be a US Senator and kept JM's jumpsuit of all the jumpsuits they ever got hold of throughout the whole war? :-)
Somerset GH has a sizable gym that includes 4 automatic treadmills, weight training machines at least three stationary bikes and a wave rotator. Friendly people at the reception as well.
And the pool is also breat. The main pool is half-olympic size and there are 2 kiddie pools. There are also saunas for men and women.
