Phen Art House, Artistic Living in the Heart of Old Quarter

Phen Art House is an aparthotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, with a 30 m² double room opening onto a balcony with city views. Rooms accommodate up to two people and range from 20 to 30 m². Alongside the balcony room, the choice includes a Standard Double Room and a Deluxe Double Room; all three have air conditioning, a minibar and a private bathroom. The bathrooms include walk-in showers, and the rooms have flat-screen TVs, with streaming services in the Standard and Deluxe categories.

A terrace, coffee house, snack bar and bar provide several shared places to sit or have a drink.

Hoan Kiem Lake is 750 m away, and Hanoi Weekend Night Market is 300 m away. Guests frequently praise the staff and cleanliness, though feedback notes that some rooms hear street traffic or sounds from the café below.

Phen Art House has three double-room categories, each with space for up to two people and a private bathroom. The range runs from two 20 m² rooms to a larger 30 m² option. Air conditioning, a minibar and a flat-screen TV are common to all three, along with a shower, bidet and free toiletries. Size and outlook provide the clearest distinctions between the rooms.

The 30 m² Double Room with Balcony pairs a balcony with city views. Both 20 m² rooms have king-size beds: one is the Standard Double Room, while the Deluxe Double Room has a city view. The Standard and Deluxe rooms also include streaming services on their TVs. All three have a private bathroom, with towels, slippers and a hairdryer among the bathroom amenities.

Shared spaces at Phen Art House include an outdoor terrace with furniture, a coffee house, snack bar and bar. Room service is available, and the food and drink selection also includes wine or champagne and minibars in the rooms. Free WiFi is available throughout; the aparthotel has no parking.

Inside, air conditioning, heating and a fan are complemented by a flat-screen television with cable channels and streaming services. Bathrooms have showers, bidets, towels, slippers, hairdryers and free toiletries. The building has a lift, family rooms, non-smoking rooms and an allergy-free room, as well as baby safety gates.

The aparthotel is on Phố Hàng Phèn, among the closely packed streets and shopfronts of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. The district’s dense street grid retains names associated with traditional trades, and the lanes around the property have cafés and small restaurants. Hanoi Weekend Night Market is 300 m away, Ta Hien Street is 450 m away, Hoan Kiem Lake is 750 m away, and Quán Cháo Lòng is 50 m away.

Ha Noi Railway station is 1.3 km from Phen Art House. The aparthotel has no parking, so visitors arriving by car need to arrange parking separately. Its front desk operates 24 hours, but you need to tell the property your expected arrival time in advance; check-in is from 14:00 to 22:00. The station is the nearest named rail connection in the surroundings, while the aparthotel itself is on a street within the Old Quarter’s compact network of lanes.

Dong Xuan Market is 500 m away, O Quan Chuong City Gate 550 m, the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long 800 m, and Hoa Lo Historical Prison 1 km. Dong Xuan’s covered stalls offer a look at everyday trade, while the old gate and citadel mark earlier layers of the capital’s history; Hoa Lo interprets the prison’s colonial and wartime past. The Huc Bridge crosses to a small temple island in Hoan Kiem Lake, adding another nearby stop to a walk through the historic centre.
