Any advice on interesting places around Sunny Hotel ?[/QUOTE]
Havent stay there b4 but i know its near west lake.. can go to try a KTV at Lake Side hotel, i'm not sure whether it is still open or not the ktv. Used to be operated by a taiwanese boss. Gals come in 3 class. 1) Speak viet only 2) Speak english/chinese 3) Speak english,french. a bit pricey though.
Boss KTV at Fortuna Hotel is a good recommendation. Gals there have to go through health screening before allowed to work there, so relatively 'clean'.
Another KTV is Nhat Thong at 14 Thi Sach. Price lower, gals ok. KTV and massage at Hanoi hotel also ok. And another is at Daewoo hotel KTV.
If alone, can try the Sakura massage near Nguyen Du. If you are first time there, you wouldnt have time to go 'fishing' around..so those places should be ok.
If want to fish, try Ho Guom Xanh near Hoan Kiem lake, New Century club at Trang Thi road, Hale Club at 64 Nguyen Du,Apocalypse disco, or 17 Saloon at 100 Tran Hung Dao.
Hope it helps...and grab some viet vocab before u go...makes ur life easier
all depends on how much time u have at hanoi....cheers
