Where to stay in Hanoi?
Can anyone reccomend where is the best place to stay in Hanoi? I am looking for areas that is nearby the shoping area. How much is the taxi from airport to city center?
ask a taxi driver at the airport and hell take u to a few diff hotels till u find one u like
cost about $15
dont book hotel till u get there as it is much cheaper than online and most hotels will sort u out with tours etc
expect to pay $10 a nite in the old quarter (back packers area)

what are your requirements for a "best place"?
i know a hotel nearby the Old quarter - qhich is the shoopping centre - called "Camellia Hotel". Some of my foreign friends came and stayed there and they were very pleased to it. it's not a luxirious hotel, but it's okie for a short trip. here is the email address so you can ask them more: camellia81tb@vnn.vn

it costs $12-$15 for the taxi from the airport to the city centre.
hope you found this helpful :D

If you would like to stay near the city center and at a low cost, the recommendation of Camelia is not a bad choice. It is fairly inexpensive ($30/day) and is near the center. If you would like something more expensive (better/more-star hotels), you could go to Guoman ($70), Melia ($80-$90), Hilton Opera ($120) or Sofitel ($140.)
From the airport to the city center, the ride takes around 40 minutes (more traffics closer to the city.) A bus ride would cost you around $3 USD. A taxi ride would cost you around $10 USD, though you could negotiate that down, especially if you share that with another companion/passenger.

"khach san mot ngan sao" [hotel of 1000 stars][ thats an old vn joke... means sleep under the stars ..outside!] stay at duong luong ngoc quen street... you'll find a suitable place to stay there very cheap at least for 1 night[ maybe the "classic" will be good for you] while you look around. taxi[ mini bus] to the old town $1 us but the'll try too get you to pay more when you get there ... dont !
