hello gents
i've been out of the game and haven't posted frequented this site in a while. just came back from Hanoi so I thought I'd give back to this community. i noticed there is not much post history here regarding Hanoi, most Vietnam reports are Ho Chi Minh.
As such prior to visiting Hanoi I did some research on other sites, which I will link below anyway in case you want to check them out. (Mods please let me know if this is not allowed).
There's a generic list of massages here but what I found valuable were actually the comments at the bottom. Some are as recent as January 2020
Some reviews here on Hanoi

Some general observations regarding Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh (which I also visited).
- Hard to find Full Service places in Hanoi, looks like most massage parlours only allow up to oral and hand jobs. Whereas in Ho Chi Minh it's pretty much up to your negotiating skills with the girl after your massage.
- There's a website called kynu.net (i can't remember whether it is one "u" or two "u" behind the Kynu) which is like the Vietnamese equivalent of the 141 Hong Kong Girls Database. But it's entirely in Vietnamese and google browser translate feature is still not 100%, so i found it pretty hrhard to navigate and in the end didn't bother.

Anyway on to the review:
I got to Neko around dinner time on a weekday. the Singleman post above covers in good detail about what you can expect, so I'm not going to go into that.
i was brought 3 girls to choose from as i waited in the room. i picked girl #53 (her name is Hanh) and i very much enjoyed my session. the massage/happy ending service was excellent and she was very kind throughout. she let me touch and lightly finger her (although I made sure to ask her first whether this was okay).
bear in mind that this is my first Nuru experience so i'm not sure what the standards of other people's expectations are. personally i felt it was great.
I went for the standard 60 minutes package that is listed on the menu as 600k room fee + 600k tip, but I tipped her extra.
in general i would strongly recommend this place. staff were professional and i will say that the facilities/interior design are top class (felt like a 5 star hotel).
Also FYI you can pay by credit card (with no extra surcharge which is much appreciated since most shops in the country always have a surcharge). i used a card from an overseas bank and it worked fine.
