52 Au Trieu, Hoan Kiem
Tel: 3828 8344
Housed in a narrow Vietnamese house a few steps away from the cathedral, don’t be misled by this spa’s humble appearance. They offer a long-lasting, professional manicure and pedicure service for barely more than you would pay to get your nails cut on the street. The staff doesn’t speak much English, but they have an extensive menu to choose from.
