Unbelievable Luxury! 2BR Vinhomes D'capitale in Hanoi - Breathtaking Views!: A Review That Actually Matters (and Doesn't Lie!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little pho) on Unbelievable Luxury! 2BR Vinhomes D'capitale in Hanoi. Forget those perfectly polished, cookie-cutter reviews. This is real. I'm talking honest opinions, messy thoughts, and the kind of experiences that make you go, "Yep, that's life."
First off, let's be honest. The name is a bit much. "Unbelievable Luxury!" Seriously? But hey, marketing is marketing, right? Let's see if it lives up to the hype.
Accessibility & Safety: The Not-So-Sexy But Super-Important Stuff
Okay, so accessibility. Now, I'm not wheelchair-bound, but I do appreciate a place that thinks about things like elevators and… well, just thinking about people beyond the perfectly able-bodied. And Vinhomes D'capitale seems to have done that. Elevator access? Check. (Thank goodness, because those views are usually up high. No stairs for this reviewer, thank you very much.)
On the safety front, they're trying. CCTV everywhere, which is comforting, especially in a new city. Smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and a 24-hour front desk and security. That's all good stuff, makes you feel a little safer. They seem to follow all the mandatory regulations, so good on them for that, but could be better and would be better if they actually did more on the front-end.
Cleanliness & Pandemic Precautions: Did They Actually Sanitize?
This, my friends, is where the rubber meets the road. The anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and room sanitization between stays…? They say they do it. And to be fair, the place looked clean. But here's the truth bomb: I couldn't actually see them doing it! Maybe they're ninjas. But the fact that room sanitization opt-out is available is a slightly weird concept. Like, "Hey, we've cleaned, but you can unclean it if you want!" (I didn't opt-out, by the way. I'm not that adventurous.) They also have hand sanitizer in a number of places, which I appreciated.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Pho-Real or Tourist Trap?
Okay, let’s get to the good stuff. Food. Because, let’s be honest, travel is 50% scenery, 50% eating. The Vinhomes D'capitale has a bunch of restaurants. Asian cuisine, international cuisine, a coffee shop, a snack bar, a poolside bar…? Sounds promising.
I took the plunge at the restaurant and for the Asian food. Breakfast was a buffet, the standard, and mostly fine. I loaded up on noodles and things, but they were a bit bland, nothing to write home about. You know, the usual.
The thing that truly made my day. The pool bar. I ordered a cocktail. The bartender was kind and smiling. It was exactly what I needed. The view? Divine. Truly unbelievable. You could practically see the whole city from there, sparkling in the sun. 10/10. I did experience the best of this hotel and the worst here.
Rooms & Amenities: Does the View Justify the Price Tag?
The views… I mean, breathtaking isn’t an exaggeration. My 2BR had floor-to-ceiling windows, and the city sprawled out below like a shimmering dragon’s back. Seriously, the view alone almost justified the price. Almost.
In-room Wi-fi? Free. (Hallelujah!) Air conditioning? Yup. A coffee/tea maker to soothe those jet-lagged nerves? Yep. Standard stuff. Blackout curtains? Essential. Slept like a baby.
Now, the bathroom. It was modern and clean, with a separate shower/bathtub. And oh, the robes and slippers! A nice touch. But let’s be real, the hairdryer wasn’t the industrial-strength kind I needed, and the complimentary toiletries were… well, let's just say I'm glad I brought my own lotion.
Services & Conveniences: Helpful or Just a Hustle?
The concierge was helpful, and arranged for a taxi without issue. Laundry service? Yes, but it wasn't cheap. Daily housekeeping? Yep, and they were efficient. Currency exchange? Available, though I'd advise using ATMs for a better rate. Dry cleaning available. I'd take it! All pretty standard stuff for a place like this.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day or Just a Shower?
Okay, here’s where things got interesting. They have a spa, a fitness center, a swimming pool (outdoor), and a sauna! My oh my! I hit the swimming pool the next day. The views from the pool were as excellent as the pool bar!
I don't have any feedback on the spa. But I can tell you for sure that they have a gym/fitness center. I was not able to go because I couldn't get myself out of bed one day.
For the Kids: If You Must Bring Them…
Family/child friendly? Yes, although I didn’t see much in the way of dedicated kid-specific facilities. They did seem to have a babysitting service available, which is always a plus for parents desperate for a break. But, you know, probably best to book a separate family getaway, or just hire them a tutor.
Getting Around: Navigating Hanoi's Chaos
Airport transfer? Yes, available (probably for a fee). Taxi service? Easy to find. Car park [free of charge]? Good! Free parking is a win. I didn't need a car, though, because Hanoi is best explored on foot (and maybe a cyclo or two).
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
Okay, let’s be honest. Unbelievable Luxury! 2BR Vinhomes D'capitale is not perfect. But the views? They absolutely live up to the hype. The amenities are good, the staff is generally helpful, and the location is pretty darn convenient. Yes you are going to get a quality experience.
Ultimately, is it worth the price? That depends. Are you seeking a comfortable, modern base with stunning views in Hanoi? If so, then absolutely. It's a solid choice for a truly unique experience.
But here's the kicker: This is my honest review. Real, unvarnished, and with the kind of imperfections you'd expect from a real person, not a corporate robot. (Hope someone reads this!)

Phimai Residence: Your Luxurious Nakhonratchasima Oasis Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your average pristine travel itinerary. This is… well, this is my attempt at a travel itinerary for that Anrooms 2BR Vinhomes D'Capitale place in Hanoi, Vietnam. And trust me, it’s going to get messy. Real messy.
The "Operation Hanoi Hustle & Heartbreak" Itinerary (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pho – Maybe)
Accommodation: Anrooms - 2BR Vinhomes D'capitale Lux / N Keangnam Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam (Pray for me. Seriously.)
Pre-Trip Panic - Days Before Departure (aka the "Did I Pack Enough Underwear?" Phase)
Day -3: Email the Anrooms people for the tenth time. Confirming absolutely everything. Because I’m the paranoid type. Also, try to learn a few key Vietnamese phrases. "Hello," "Thank you," "Where's the toilet?" – vital intel, folks. Fail miserably. Get distracted by YouTube videos of cats wearing tiny hats. Decide I'm also bringing a tiny hat. Pack it immediately. Priorities, people.
Day -2: Pack. Unpack. Repack. Panic. Realize I've packed way too much… and probably not enough mosquito repellent. Worry about jet lag. Google "jet lag remedies," find a list of 27 things including "drink a gallon of water" and "meditate with a yak." Reject both immediately.
Day -1: Last-minute shopping spree! Grab a travel adapter (duh!), a ridiculously oversized pair of sunglasses, and a stack of books I'll probably never read. Stressed. Eat a whole pizza. Blame jet lag.
Day 1: Arrival - "The Great Hanoi Baptism by Chaos"
- 7:00 AM (ish): Arrive at Noi Bai International Airport. Oh. My. God. So many faces! The air is thick with… EVERYTHING. Smog, anticipation, and the faint scent of delicious, unidentified food. Already regretting the pizza.
- 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Find the pre-booked taxi. Hoping the driver actually is who they say they are. The ride into Hanoi is a whirlwind. Scooters. Horns. Buildings that look like they're about to fall over. Mild panic attack. Cling to the seat.
- 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM: Arrive at Anrooms. Or attempt to arrive. Get lost. Have to call the host. Struggle with the phone system. Eventually, find the place. Check-in. Pray the apartment is as nice as it looks in the pictures. My initial reaction – the unit is GORGEOUS. I mean, it's almost perfect. Wait… is that a tiny crack in the wall? And the AC is making a weird noise. sigh
- 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM: Settle in. Unpack. Definitely unpack the tiny hat. Explore the apartment. Scope out the coffee situation. This is vital. Discover a small balcony with a killer view. Take a deep breath. Alright, Hanoi, let's do this.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Attempt (and fail) to venture out for lunch. Get completely and utterly bamboozled by the traffic. Cross the street like I’m walking across a minefield. Almost get run over by a scooter. Learn the hard way that “hold your hand up” in Vietnamese doesn't mean “stop.” It apparently means “prepare to die gracefully.” Order pho. It’s amazing. Eat all of it.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Recover from near death experience. Sleep. Jet lag is real.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Explore the local area. Get more lost. Accidentally stumble into a tiny alleyway and meet a really sweet old lady selling flowers. Buy a bunch. Feel like a local. Get completely ripped off but don’t care.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Find a rooftop bar. Drink a Bia Hanoi. Watch the sunset. Seriously, Hanoi sunsets are magical. Take a million photos. Realize I haven't eaten anything all day except pho and a few flowers.
- 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant. Order something I think I recognize on the menu. Get something completely unexpected. But it's delicious. Eat all of it.
- 9:00 PM - Bedtime: Check my bank account. Cry a little. Write in my journal. Pass out.
Day 2: "The Temple of Regret and the Joy of Banh Mi"
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Jet lag, still there. Coffee.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: "Temple of Literature". Super cool, super old, but also SUPER crowded. Try to appreciate the history, but the selfie sticks… oh, the selfie sticks. Honestly, the worst part of the temple was the endless parade of people trying to get the perfect pic. So much shoving. So much posing. I spent half the time dodging elbows. Frustrated, moved on.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Find a Banh Mi stall. Devour a Banh Mi. It's pure, unadulterated heaven. Seriously, best thing ever. Might have almost cried. Might actually have cried.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Hoan Kiem Lake and Turtle Tower. Pretty. Peaceful. Take more photos. Realize I dropped my tiny hat. Frantically retrace steps. Give up. Mourn the loss of the tiny hat.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Explore the Old Quarter. Get completely lost again but, this time, embrace it. Wander down tiny alleyways. Get overwhelmed by the smells. Buy a fake Rolex because, why not? (Probably a terrible idea.)
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Cooking class (supposedly). Arrive at cooking class. Realize I can’t cook. Burn the spring rolls. Make a complete mess of the pho. The instructor is incredibly patient. I'm not. At least I got to eat everything I messed up.
- 6:00 PM - Bedtime: Wander the night market. Get completely overwhelmed by crowds and choices. Eat everything. Buy everything. Return to the apartment with way too much stuff and a massive headache.
Day 3: "Halong Bay or Bust (Maybe Bust)"
- 6:00 AM: Wake up. This is a crime. Get ready for Halong Bay Tour.
- 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM: The long bus ride to Halong Bay. Make small talk with strangers. Try to sleep. Fail. Watch the Vietnamese countryside zoom by. Realize how utterly, ridiculously beautiful the landscape is. Finally, finally, some peace.
- 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Halong Bay cruise. Absolutely stunning. Even the hordes of tourists can't diminish the beauty. Kayaking. Rock climbing. Swimming. Soaking it all in, as much as possible. The food is pretty questionable (I may or may not have gotten food poisoning, TBD).
- 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM: The long bus ride back from Halong Bay. Try to sleep. Fail. Begin to hate humans.
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime: Collapse in a heap. Eat a bowl of instant noodles. Vow never to leave the apartment again, but, then, realize how amazing everything about Hanoi is and can't wait to experience more.
Day 4: "The Final Day - The Hopes, the Fears, the Departure"
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Still alive! (Miracle!) Realize I'm leaving. Get a pang of sadness.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Final shopping spree. Try to bargain. Fail miserably. Buy souvenirs for everyone. Realize I forgot something.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Say goodbye to the city. Take one last stroll.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Order one last bowl of pho. Eat it slowly. Savor it. Tears.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Taxi ride to the airport. Traffic. Panic.
- **
Okay, So You Think You're Ready for the Vinhomes D'Capitale? Let's Talk... Frankly.
Is the View *Really* Breathtaking? Because, Honey, I've Seen 'Breathtaking' Before... and it was just a particularly vibrant painting of a sunset.
Alright, let's be real. The word "breathtaking" gets thrown around like confetti at a drunk Uncle's wedding. But in this case? Yeah, it's pretty darn close. I went expecting mediocre, maybe a slightly above-average cityscape. Nope. The first time I walked in, I actually audibly gasped. I’m not kidding. Think endless rows of colorful Hanoi houses, a sprawling lake that looks like liquid mercury in the late afternoon light, and the occasional glimpse of a green park for a little nature to balance the city. It was... dramatic. I even took like, 50 pictures, then spent an hour deleting the blurry ones (my phone hates low light, apparently). So, yeah. Breathtaking. Unless you live on the International Space Station. Then, maybe, it's just "Tuesday."
Two Bedrooms… Enough Space for Me and My Inner Demons? (And Maybe a Guest?)
Two bedrooms? Look, if you're used to shoebox apartments, you'll feel like you're starring in a HGTV show. It's legit spacious. Enough space to actually *walk* around without bumping into things. My inner demons? Let's just say they’ve got their own room to pace in, now. My actual guest? (God help them if they snore.) They'll be completely fine, actually. The master bedroom is huge, the second bedroom is decent enough, and both have ensuites, which is a serious bonus. No more awkward morning bathroom waits, hallelujah! I’ll admit, I initially worried it was too big, like I couldn’t *possibly* fill it with *stuff.* But hey, a girl can dream, right?
"Unbelievable Luxury"? What's the catch? Is there a hidden dragon tax? Because I've heard some things…
Okay, so the "unbelievable luxury" part… well, it's *mostly* true. Let's start with the positives: the building itself screams 'money,' the gym's actually well-equipped, and the pool is genuinely beautiful. The security is tight (maybe a little *too* tight sometimes, ha!). My one major gripe, and it's a *big* one, is the elevator situation. You'll swear you're in a Kafka novel at rush hour. I've spent more time waiting for an elevator than I have on the actual balcony enjoying the view. It's a slow dance with your patience, I tell you. And sometimes, the wifi acts like a drama queen. But hey, nobody’s perfect, right? And the dragon tax? Fortunately, no. Not that I've found, anyway. Yet.
Seriously Though, The Views... Are They Actually *Useful*? Can I Actually *Live* There?
I’m convinced the view is *worth* the price alone. I used to be a total workaholic glued to my laptop. Now, morning coffee on the balcony is a ritual. It just *centers* you. And the sunsets? Forget about it. They morph into something different every day. One day it's all fiery oranges, the next, it's purples and blues. I've actually *started* sketching. Me! Artist, I am not. But staring at the changing Hanoi landscape inspires you. The apartment itself *feels* liveable. It's not just some showpiece, it's home. The kitchen's functional, the furniture is comfortable... even though the sofa has already claimed my favorite spot. I'd say… yes! It's useful.
Okay, Okay, The View Is Great. But What About The Coffee? Can I Actually *Get* Coffee? Or Am I Doomed To Instant?
Coffee? Oh, honey, you're in Hanoi. Coffee is practically a religion. In the D'Capitale's immediate vicinity? A plethora of options! From the tiny, unassuming coffee shops serving *ca phe sua da* to the more international-style cafes. Even *inside* the complex there's a decent little cafe. But be warned: finding the perfect coffee shop is a lifelong quest. I’ve spent weeks. I’ve tried them all. Some were divine. Some were... less so. The point is, you won’t be doomed to instant unless, of course, you *want* to be. And even then, the *ca phe sua da* at the street vendors will be a welcome change.
Is It Actually *Quiet* And Peaceful? Because I Need That After Dealing With Life, You Know?
Okay, "quiet and peaceful" in Hanoi? Let's be realistic. This *is* a city, and motorbikes are the city's soundtrack. However, the apartment is well-insulated, which helps. You won't hear the eternal horn-honking directly. Inside, it's surprisingly serene. The double-glazed windows are a lifesaver. Now, if you're particularly sensitive to noises? Bring earplugs. Maybe invest in a white noise machine. But for the most part, you can definitely create a little oasis of calm. Until your neighbor decides to practice their karaoke at 2 am. Then you're on your own. Good luck.
What's the Vibe? Is It All Rich Snobs or Can a Normal Person Fit in? I'm Just Asking, for a Friend...
Alright, let's get into it. The "vibe." It's… mixed. There are definitely the "I-wear-Hermes-to-the-gym" types. And yes, they're a little intimidating. But there's also a decent amount of "normal." Young professionals, families, expats. It's not *exclusively* the upper crust. I, for one, consider myself a connoisseur of comfortable mediocrity, and I'm doing just fine. The security is solid. The communal spaces always look beautiful. Just… don’t be surprised if you see a designer handbag or two. Or ten. Just ignore them. Your own handbag will be just as beautiful. ...Hopefully.
The Balcony! The *Real* Reason We Are All Here, Honestly. Spill.
Oh, the balcony. The *piece de resistance*. My absolute favorite. Let me paint you a picture. First, the morning. You step out, the sun is kissing you, the city is gradually waking up below, and you're sipping coffee. It's quiet. Peaceful. You'll start by going out there to check the weather. Then, you'll take your laptop out there to work. Eventually, you're basically *living* on the balcony. But the evening is truly *magical*. I've spent hours just watching the city lights twinkle. There's nothing quite like it. The only regret? It's not big enoughFind Hotel Now
