Hi! If it's for getting to the airport from your hotel, so it should be 23 Hang Tre St. But if it's for getting from the airport to your hotel, the stop should be 162 Tran Quang Khai St. (Vien Quy Hoach).

Hi! For Noi Bai Airport to Concon House, you should get bus 86 and drop off at 162 Tran Quang Khai (Vien Quy Hoach) then walk about 10 - 15 minutes. On the other hand, from Concon House to Airport, you should get bus 86 at 23 Hang Tre St. bus stop.
