This has to be the best hotel in Vietnam. You can't go wrong here. We stayed in the historical side of the hotel for 3 nights and then because we missed our shuttle to Hanoi we stayed in the other side of the hotel the follow night (make sure you confirm you flights the day before you arrive at the...

We booked a king bed room in the historic wing. Upon opening the door to the room, we were met with an overwhelming blast of odor - sewer gas type odor. We immediately asked the bellman to get us a different room. ( By the way, the room itself was a beautiful large and gracious room and bathroom as described... More

Stayed in the Old Wing 1/F Grand Luxury Room...room is huge with a large marble bathroom. The ambiance of the old wing is just great so as the room. The service of the hotel particular that of the lobby coffee shop does not commensurate with the status of the hotel... Vietnam Spice Market also serves great Vietnam food.... Would love... More

From the spectacular architecture, to the French (and English) service, a great gym, and the best Vietnamese coffee (aside from Au Lac) that we have ever had during our breakfast there, it was an outstanding stay that sadly ended too soon. I can't say that i loved Hanoi as a city, but i did love their Sofitel. More

We stayed two nights in Metropole. One night at Premium room then Business upgraded room another night. The best hotel in Vİetnam! Rooms are spotless, spacious, feels like at home (sheets and towels). King size bed, shower and old style bathtub are separated. While I take the shower, my daughter enjoyed the bathtub watching Disney channel in front of her.... More

My husband and I booked a "GRAND LUXURY ROOM HISTORICAL WING" (their description of their ordinary rooms, which are far from ordinary!) for 4 nights in January 2012. From the second we walked through the front door we felt at home. We had two rooms, broken by an overnight Halong Bay (booked by hotel, separate review) both of which were... More

When I told people that I would be staying at the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, everyone I spoke to said "It's the BEST hotel in Vietnam." I went in with high expectations. I travel to Hong Kong for work quite a bit and usually stay at The Peninsula, which in my mind has set the standard for service and... More

The experience begins as you're picked up at the airport by an attentive staff. Then you're led to a BMW 7 Series limousine waiting for you with cold towels, refreshments, french macaroni and an iPod with nice music for the 45 min drive to the hotel. Then you do your check in at your room as you get comfortable and... More

We stayed on the club level in the new wing. The service level and room were excellent which I would expect for the price we paid. The food in the executive lounge was better and the service more attentive than in the breakfast buffet adjacent to the pool. The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the old quarter...
