Alula Residence

Alula Residence is a homestay in Tay Ho, Hanoi, with apartment-style rooms that include private kitchens in selected units. The property offers family rooms and four accommodation types, ranging from a 25 m² double room to 40 m² apartments and studios. Every room has a private bathroom and air conditioning; balconies, terraces, city views and spa baths distinguish particular options. The one-bedroom apartment has a separate living room, while the studios include kitchen facilities and washing machines.

Shared facilities include a garden, sun terrace, outdoor furniture and play equipment for children. You can arrange bicycle hire, walking and bike tours, hiking and local-culture activities through the tour desk; room service and luggage storage are also available. Free WiFi is provided in public areas, and public parking nearby may involve a charge. The homestay is 4.5 km from Hanoi’s centre, with West Lake 1.6 km away. Guests praise the spacious, tidy rooms, helpful staff and value, while a few reviews note that bathroom fixtures feel dated.

Alula Residence offers four accommodation types: a one-bedroom apartment, a Superior Double Room and two studios. Their sizes range from 25 m² to 40 m², and each has a private bathroom and air conditioning. The apartment and both studios include a kitchen; the apartment also separates the bedroom from a living room, while the studios provide self-contained layouts. Soundproofing is noted across the rooms, and flat-screen TVs feature in several types.

Balconies distinguish the apartment and Superior Double Room, while the spa-bath studio has a terrace and city views. The apartment is the only option with a separate living room, and its sleeping layout includes a super-king bed and sofa bed. A spa bath also sets the Superior Double Room apart; the Deluxe King Studio instead has a walk-in shower and a quiet street view. At 25 m², the Superior is the smallest room type.

Outdoor furniture, a garden, terrace and sun terrace give Alula Residence several places to sit outside, while kids’ outdoor play equipment serves families. Bicycle rental is available, and activities include bike tours, walking tours, hiking, fishing, movie nights and tours or classes about local culture. A tour desk, luggage storage and private check-in and check-out cover practical arrangements.

WiFi is free in public areas. Vehicle parking is public and available nearby without a reservation, although charges may apply. Room service, family rooms, non-smoking rooms, heating and air conditioning are among the additional amenities. Laundry and ironing services, trouser pressing and dry cleaning are available, along with full-day security and CCTV in common areas.
