Luggage storage Ngoai Giao Doan 1

Ngoai Giao Doan means the diplomatic corps, and the name is meant literally: this planned district west of West Lake was laid out with land set aside for embassies, representative offices and international organisations, next to rows of high-rise apartments and broad, quiet streets. It draws a different traveller from the Old Quarter crowd. People come for an appointment at a mission or an agency, for a posting that starts next week, or to stay with someone who works at one. Appointments rarely line up with checkout times, and official buildings are not keen on a suitcase at the security desk. Leave it here first. The spot is open around the clock, so you can drop the bag on the way in, get the paperwork done with free hands, and pick it up whenever you are ready for the airport or the ride back into town.
