Any city in Vietnam is inexpensive if you stick with local stuff, you can live off peanuts, but if you live like an expat it can get very expensive (imported goods) 5 star hotels etc are comparative in price to any city, in any case I would have thought they would have picked HCM, rather than Hanoi, it's a little more cosmopolitan.
