“outstanding”

A level of service I had never experienced before. The best hotel we encountered in an around the world trip

“Calm amidst the chaos”

The Metropole provided a sense of calm in the midst of the chaos on hanoi, a short walk to the opera & also to the lake demonstrated how convieniently located the hotel is, I can strongly recommonend the following: 1) taking advantage of the BMW7 series airport pickup & drop off service - ensures you arrive feeling calm & refreshed 2) the cooking school is a must but dont eat much beforehand as you to taste all you have prepared! 3) the spa - lash out & have a long treatment 4) Spice Garden restaurant - great mix of local & international cuisine

“The place to stay in Hanoi”

Beautiful hotel property in a great location, close to the old quarter. Club level rooms were magnificent. Service was great. Wish more hotels were like this!! For a stylish trip back into the colonial past of Hanoi, there is no better place to stay.

“An oasis of calm with wonderful traces of yesteryear”

My third visit to the Metropole -- a beautiful hotel, with the nicest and most friendly staff imaginable. The location is ideal -- close to the lake, easy walking distance from shopping. The rooms in the historic old wing are charming, but the Opera wing is more comfortable.

“The Best of the best”

Staying here is a trat not to be missed. Everyone on the staff is there to cater to you. They are accommodating and super efficient. The hotel management has thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. I found that they were thoughtful helpful and sooo efficient. The food service is wonderful ; the atmosphere of the lounges and restaurants makwes each a special place.

“One of the best hotels in the world?”

My wife and I are seasoned travelers, and have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world, but none of them came close to the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi in terms of quality and value. The quality of the rooms, both in the old and the new wings, is simply stunning, from the exquisitely appointed bathrooms to the leather cases for the remote controls for the TV and CD player (really!). The quality of the service was simply the best we have ever experienced. With many period features dating back to its founding in 1901, four great restaurants, and and a proper business centre, I cannot imagine how this hotel could be improved.

“The best place to stay in Hanoi”

Check it out for yourself. 5 Star all the way apart from Breakfast. Not the standard of the hotel, go out for breakfast instead.

“Hanoi excellence”

3 recent days at Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. a charming ,historic hotel with ambiance, service at the highest level. The Sofitel Grand Ankor in Siem Reap, Cambodia was also superb.

“Best hotel in Hanoi”

Very traditional and nice atomosphere

“Stay in Sofitel Metropole”

During winter vacations we chose this hotel and never regretted the decision.The hotel is set very near to the Old town,which is a plus itself. As it is very dirty on the streets and you can hardly breath outside, so entering the hotel you immediately forget about extremes of Hanoi and totally immerse in a warm and cosy atmosphere of an old but still fashionable hotel. Service is good, food is fine.The Screw Driver in the bar is accompanied by a jazz singer from South Africa. So Sofitel is certianly a place to stay for a while.
