Eliana Robusta Hotel
A rooftop pool four minutes from the Water Puppet Theater
About this hotel
Eliana Robusta Hotel puts a rooftop swimming pool, terrace, and hot tub within easy reach of Thang Long Water Puppet Theater, just four minutes' walk away, and Hoan Kiem Lake, under a kilometre further — a rooftop genuinely positioned to bookend a day of central sightseeing. The pool bar keeps drinks moving without requiring a trip back down to the lobby, and the traditional restaurant's European menu offers a change of pace from the Vietnamese and Asian options common elsewhere in the neighborhood. A coffee shop rounds out the property for guests who want a quieter morning start before the pool and terrace fill in later in the day with the afternoon crowd.

Our take
A strong choice for travelers who want a rooftop pool close enough to walk to the Water Puppet Theater and Hoan Kiem Lake without much planning — the location does real work here. Those after a dedicated rooftop bar scene rather than a pool deck should look toward the Old Quarter's Sky Bar properties instead.
- ✓Visit Thang Long Water Puppet Theater in the late afternoon, four minutes away, before returning for a pool bar evening.
- ✓Use the pool bar for a light dinner alternative to the traditional restaurant if you'd rather stay poolside.
- ✓Try the coffee shop for an early, quiet start before the rooftop pool gets busy later in the day.
Why we love it
- Rooftop swimming pool with a dedicated pool bar
- Terrace and hot tub on the same upper floor
- Four minutes from Thang Long Water Puppet Theater
- Under a kilometre from Hoan Kiem Lake
Why guests love itBefore an evening show at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater, a couple with two children spent the afternoon at Eliana Robusta's rooftop pool, the kids in the water and the parents taking turns in the hot tub. A drink from the pool bar marked the shift into evening, then the whole family walked the four minutes to the theater. They liked how little planning the location demanded. Travelers who want a cocktail bar rather than a pool deck will find this roof built mainly for swimming.
