bathrooms in hanoi, vietnam
An upscale coffee shop
Not sure exactly, in the Old Quarter. One of the ones near Hoan Kiem Lake| Rating: | GOOD | | Hours: | Business hours | | Gender: | It flushes! (Guys, the urinal is quite small, be careful) | | Fee: | Should probably buy a drink while you're there | | Details: |  clean
safe
| | Style: | It flushes! (Guys, the urinal is quite small, be careful) | | Comments: | This bathroom is located inside a coffee shop in the main shopping district, the cafe is quite upmarket (would fit in perfectly in any western city), foreigners only. The drinks were quite expensive but oh well. The toilet was absolutely spotless, and there was even liquid soap! (A luxury unsurpassed in this country). If you're sick of Hanoi (though how that could happen I don't know) you can relax and pretend you are in Sydney, for example (so long as you don't look out the window to see the latest motorcycle accident). |

Leonardo Dicaprio | | Style: | It flushes! (Guys, the urinal is quite small, be careful) | | Comments: | Careful to go before you go -- other toilets are available (nice to offer a 5, 000 dong head fee) in anybody's house or shop, toilets are ceramic holes in the floor, whereas the facilities at these hotels are superb and refreshing, with newspapers posted on the wall in front of men's urinals for your distraction from the matter at hand. Phone calls can also be made nearby. |
Temple of Literature complex

safe
| | Style: | It flushes! (Guys, the urinal is quite small, be careful) | | Comments: | There was toilet paper in the Western stalls and running water at the sinks, though not soap. Each stall was private with a real door. A tour guide took me or I would not have tried a toilet at a public site. |

| | Style: | It flushes! (Guys, the urinal is quite small, be careful) | | Comments: | I couldn't use this WC without separation or door. It was so surprising. Two others ladies were there... |
