Hi guys, will be making my first trip to Hanoi in about three weeks on company business, having been to Saigon about two years ago.

Just wondering about the Fortuna Hotel, about its standard and if it is a good place to stay during the visit and any spots where I can pick up chicks nearby. Heard there is a karaoke lounge in the hotel, but i'm not really into karaoke. And roughly how much am I expected to fork out?

What is the current situation there, given the police checks that I read in the other posts?

Also heard about these places in Vietnam, not sure if they are in Hanoi, where they are basically pool parlours but you get girls servicing you at the same time. Did not find any in Saigon when I was there.

Really would appreciate any help I can get, and will keep the group posted on any details that I find.
To me, Fortuna Hotel is good compared to most other hotels in Hanoi. How much you got to fork out with depend on how many drinks, how many gals etc.... previously i paid VND$500,000 plus for 3 drinks and a gal accompaning me for 3 hrs.

About the pool parlours, you can also find in Saigon. I've also heard about them in Hanoi but never visited it due to the bad feedback from local partners.

cheers.
