Luxury Hanoi Apartment: Vinhomes Smart City SA3.34 - Breathtaking Views!
My Chaotic, Honest Take on Luxury Hanoi Apartment: Vinhomes Smart City SA3.34 - Breathtaking Views! (Buckle Up!)
Alright, folks, let's get real. You’re looking at another hotel review, probably already seen a zillion of them. But trust me, this ain't your grandma's sterile, corporate-speak summary. I've just spent what felt like a lifetime – actually, a few glorious days – at Luxury Hanoi Apartment: Vinhomes Smart City SA3.34, and I'm here to spill the tea, the pho, and maybe a little bit of my sanity in the process.
First off: The Hypes (and the Holy Hell Yeahs!)
Okay, the "Breathtaking Views!" part? Not kidding. Seriously. From my little slice of heaven in SA3.34, the city sprawled out like a dazzling, twinkling, chaotic masterpiece. The sunsets… oh, the sunsets. I swear I saw colors I didn't even know existed. (And yes, I took approximately 500 photos to prove it.)
Before I get lost in the sunset haze (which I easily could), let's break this down, shall we?
Accessibility: Navigating the Maze (Mostly Smoothly!)
So, accessibility? This is a major plus. The website says "Facilities for disabled guests." I checked, and it's legit. The elevator whisked me up with ease (essential!), and the building itself is set up pretty well. This is Hanoi, so expect some bumps – but the apartment was very easy to navigate, and the key is that elevator. Also, yay for the elevator!
Rooms: My Personal Oasis (with a Few Quirks!)
My room (okay, my apartment – hello, luxury!) was honestly… impressive. Huge, honestly. The air conditioning was like a silent, icy ninja, keeping the Hanoi heat at bay. Blackout curtains? Bless them! Finally, a haven from those early morning rays (which, let's be real, I often miss anyway). And the bed! Oh the bed. Extra long, as promised, and SO comfortable I almost didn't leave. Almost.
The Wi-Fi [free] was flawless. Like, no buffering, no dropped connections, just pure, glorious internet access. They also had Internet access – LAN in the room (for the hardcore gamers, I guess?), but who needs that when the wireless is gold? Free bottled water? Yes, please! And a coffee/tea maker – essential for a caffeine addict like myself. Though, I'll admit, I’m still figuring out the whole complimentary tea situation.
But (There’s Always a But, Isn't There?)
- The Bathroom: Fine, but not mind-blowing. Adequate and clean. Good hot water, which is a godsend after navigating those chaotic Hanoi streets.
- The Scale: Why is it there? Am I supposed to constantly monitor my vacation weight gain? Rude. (Just kidding…kind of.)
- The View (Again!): Okay, some of the apartments on the lower floors, I'd guess. May not be the breathtaking experience the higher floors offer. So, ask for a tall one.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized and Secure (Mostly!)
They were serious about cleanliness. Anti-viral cleaning products were clearly in use. They mentioned rooms sanitized between stays, daily disinfection in common areas, and, honestly, you could smell the cleanliness. I'm paranoid about germs, so this earned major brownie points. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere. The security [24-hour] gave me peace of mind, and the CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property just confirms the safe.
The "Things to Do" (and the "Ways to Relax") – My Blissful Battle!
Okay, this is where it got tricky. They’ve got a fitness center, sauna, spa, swimming pool (outdoor), even a pool with a view! This is where my inner struggle began. Do I work out? Relax in the sauna? Get a massage? Drink cocktails by the pool? The possibilities!
Here is what I did:
- Fitness Centre: The Gym/Fitness was a thing. I spent an hour and regretted it.
- Swimming pool (outdoor): This was a great experience. Clean, and not too crowded
- Massage: Had a massage (yes!) – amazing! The spa/sauna area itself was a little crowded, but the experience was a great way to relax.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with Some Hiccups!)
Here’s where things get really interesting. There are restaurants! I'd read about the Asian Cuisine in restaurant and the Western Cuisine in restaurant, and I was hyped. The breakfast [Buffet] was a godsend (though, honestly, I'm not sure how many pastries I ate). The coffee/tea in restaurant was pretty good. They had a poolside bar (yes!). The room service [24-hour] was a lifesaver after a long day of exploring.
The Happy hour was particularly happy.
The Hiccups:
- The "vegetarian restaurant" thing – well, it wasn't as clear as I hoped. I ended up mostly eating a lot of salads.
- The snack bar, good lord. It was fine, but there was a limited amount.
Services and Conveniences: The Extras That Make a Trip Sing (Sometimes!)
They had everything you could think of. Concierge? Yes. Laundry service? Yup. Doorman? Check. They even had a convenience store – crucial for late-night snack runs!
The Airport transfer was seamless, and the car park [free of charge] was a relief.
Staff. The True Test.
And the staff! Everyone was genuinely helpful and friendly. The people at the front desk were so helpful, the people serving in the restaurant were kind.
Overall: Should You Book It?
Absolutely. Yes. YES! Despite a few minor hiccups, this place is a winner. It's clean, safe, the views are breathtaking, the amenities are top-notch, and the staff is fantastic.

I’d recommend Luxury Hanoi Apartment: Vinhomes Smart City SA3.34 - Breathtaking Views! to anyone who wants a comfortable, convenient, and truly memorable stay in Hanoi. It’s a perfect base for exploring the city. But be ready to book in advance! This gem is popular, and for good reason.

Albufeira Paradise: Your Private Heated Pool Villa Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip, we're living it. This is the itinerary for my absolutely bonkers adventure in Căn hộ cao cấp - SA3.34 Vinhomes Smart City Hanoi, Vietnam. Remember, this isn't some polished travel brochure – expect the REAL deal, the messy, the glorious, and the downright bewildering.
Day 1: Arrival and the Apartment Hype (and a Reality Check)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Land at Noi Bai International Airport. Ugh, the jet lag already hitting me like a brick wall. I swear, pre-boarding the flight, I was so ready to embrace "culture." Now? I just want a decent coffee and a shower. Okay, taxi ride (negotiating the price felt like a contact sport – I think I got fleeced). Arrive at the apartment. Oh my god, SA3.34! The photos looked gorgeous online. And…it is gorgeous. Panoramic views of the…well, apparently, not the city yet. Mostly other buildings. Still, the air is cooler here than in my hometown, and that's enough to get me from the red zone.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Unpack. Or, attempt to. Everything is so… compact. Where's all the space the online tour promised? Find a decent, thankfully available, restaurant. I eat something called Bún chả (a messy noodle dish with grilled pork) that is so amazing it makes me emotional. It's like a hug in a bowl. I have zero regrets. I feel the emotional power of the food. The streets are insane. Scooters everywhere. I feel vulnerable in the face of this beauty.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Attempt to navigate the local convenience store. This is where my linguistic skills fail me miserably. I successfully buy (I think) some bottled water, a bag of something crunchy that might be chips, and a mysterious fruit that I have absolutely no clue how to eat. Eat chips in the apartment. The water is tasty. The view, from the balcony, is still alright. I almost fall asleep on the sofa. The lack of anything to watch on the available television is a blessing.
Day 2: City Exploration (and a Near-Disaster involving a Street Dog)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Okay, real exploration time. Catch a Grab (the local ride-hailing app – life-saver) to Hoan Kiem Lake. Ooh, the lake is pretty. The Ngoc Son Temple is even prettier. I manage to buy a ridiculously oversized conical hat, and I look immediately ridiculous. People are clearly amused. I take a selfie. Then, I almost step on a tiny, adorable, and probably rabid street dog. I squeal, the dog barks, and I nearly trip over a child's tricycle in my haste to escape. My dignity is slightly wounded.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch at a Pho place. Pho is basically Vietnamese soup noodles, right? It's good stuff. I order, or at least gesture vaguely in the direction of a bowl, and hope for the best. Success! I get precisely what I wanted. I feel like I am actually starting to get the hang of things. Venture into the Old Quarter. Total sensory overload. Motorbikes, hawkers yelling, smells of everything imaginable. I love it. I nearly lose my mind to a stall that sells what look like giant, fluffy pancakes. Buy one. It's… unexpectedly dense. I eat it anyway.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Cooking class! I sign up for a cooking class to learn how to make spring rolls. It's a disaster, in the best possible way. My spring rolls are misshapen, and I spill fish sauce down my shirt. My teacher, bless her heart, just smiles and patiently fixes my mistakes. We laugh a lot. Dinner with my new cooking friends where we eat our delicious and somewhat flawed creations. I feel like a true local, for a moment, until a mosquito attacks me.
Day 3: A Day Trip & a Very Long Bus Ride, That's What I Call Fun!
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Day trip to Ha Long Bay! The bus ride is long. Really long. I am the only one still awake. The driver looks like he has not slept in three days. The scenery is beautiful, but I am starting to feel it.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Ha Long Bay. It's breathtaking. The limestone karsts rising out of the jade-green water are incredible. We take a boat tour. There are tourists everywhere, but the beauty manages to shine through. I take a million pictures. I buy a cheesy souvenir. I eat seafood. It's all perfect, until…
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): The bus ride… back. Did I mention the bus ride? Because it is. Long. I start to question all my life choices. I wish I had brought more snacks. I try to sleep, but the potholes and the bus's questionable suspension make that impossible. I watch a movie on my phone until the battery dies. I find myself feeling lonely and missing family.
- Night (10:00 PM and beyond): Arrive back at the apartment. Exhausted. I shower, fall into bed, and dream of… well, not a bus.
Day 4: Reflecting and a (Failed) Attempt at Local Shopping
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Finally, I take a moment to be still. I sit on the balcony, drink coffee, and just look at things. Actually, there are the buildings. I write in my journal, processing all the things that have happened, good or bad. I feel this place getting to me. The city is in my bones.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Decide to go shopping for gifts. Venture into the local markets. Get completely overwhelmed again. I try to haggle (badly). End up overpaying for a silk scarf that's probably fake, but I don't even care. It's pretty.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant I found online. It turns out it's across the street, but tucked away. The food is delicious and a total surprise. The restaurant is charming and is a good change of pace. There also are fewer people. I read a book. The meal is simple but satisfying. The beer is cheap. I feel like I am really getting something right.
Day 5: Departure and the Sad-Happy Goodbye
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Pack. Say goodbye to the apartment. Look at the view one last time. Grab another taxi (negotiating skills, mildly improved). Stop at the airport.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Say goodbye to Vietnam.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): On the flight home, which takes its toll, I look at all the photos and think of the next time.
- Night (10:00 PM and beyond): Home.
Random Musings & Imperfections Guaranteed:
- Food Diary: I'm probably going to gain five pounds. (Worth it).
- Language Barrier: My Vietnamese vocabulary consists of "xin chào" (hello), "cảm ơn" (thank you), and a lot of pointing and smiling.
- Cultural Blunders: Guaranteed to happen. Embrace them. (And maybe try not to offend anyone too badly).
- The apartment: I'm going to try to keep it tidy. (No guarantees).
- Emotional Rollercoaster: Prepare for highs, lows, and moments of utter bewilderment. This is travel, baby!
- The Heat: It will be hot. Real hot.
- The Motorbikes: I'm pretty sure they're sentient. Or at least possess a hive mind.
This itinerary is flexible. Anything can happen. It's more of a guideline, but I might change and adapt it for anything that happens, from the weather or some local events! See you on the other side (of the jet lag, that is!).
