All three room entries are double rooms for up to two people, with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and garden and landmark views. They measure 13 or 15 m², and each has an extra-large double bed (Super-king size). Two are King Room with Balcony options; the King Room is the 13 m² choice without a balcony. Room facilities include a shower or bath, bidet, free toiletries, towels, slippers and a hairdryer.

The two 15 m² balcony rooms share the same principal features, while the 13 m² King Room is the smallest option. An electric kettle is available in the rooms, and garden views run across the range alongside views of nearby landmarks. A private bathroom is provided in each room, with the balconies distinguishing the larger options.

Room essentials at Olenji Homestay include private bathrooms, air conditioning, garden or landmark views and hypoallergenic bedding. In-room fittings include an electric kettle, clothes rack and sockets near the bed; parquet or hardwood floors add a consistent finish. Bathrooms have a shower or bath, bidet, toilet, hairdryer, slippers, free toiletries, towels and linen.

Free WiFi is available throughout, and private parking is provided on site at no charge with a reservation. The property has family rooms and non-smoking rooms, with a non-smoking policy throughout. Heating and a fan are available alongside air conditioning. Upper floors are accessible by stairs only, a relevant point if you prefer step-free access. Floors are hardwood or parquet, and a fan supplements the air conditioning for room ventilation.

The homestay is set back from traffic in a small alley in Hanoi's Old Quarter, where narrow lanes, shopfronts and street food businesses shape the neighbourhood. Yen Thai Temple and Kim Co Pagoda are both 50 m away, while Hang Da Galleria is 150 m from the homestay. Saint Joseph Cathedral is 300 m away, its neo-Gothic façade standing among the busy streets west of Hoan Kiem Lake. This part of the quarter is easiest to explore on foot, using the lanes rather than expecting broad boulevards.

Ha Noi Railway station is 1 km away; a taxi or a walk covers the final stretch through the Old Quarter's narrow streets, with the homestay down an alley. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 18:00, and you need to tell the hosts your expected arrival time in advance. Free private parking is available on site, but a reservation is required. Alley activity can remain audible into the late evening.

Hanoi Train Street is 400 m away, while Hoan Kiem Lake is 600 m from the homestay. The lake's paths offer a change from the close-packed lanes, with Turtle Tower among its familiar sights. Hoa Lo Historical Prison is 700 m away and houses a museum focused on Vietnam's history under French rule and during the war. You can also walk to Hanoi Old City Gate, 800 m away, or the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, 850 m away, for a look at different periods of Hanoi's past.
