Stayed at the Metropole for 2nights. Hanoi was our first stop in viet nam. The staff is lovely and as it was our honeymoon they even give us a lovely bunch of flowers. We stayed in the older part of the building that it probably has smaller rooms, but it was really origininal and i assume it is what they... More

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. It's located right in the middle of the city in safe area. The hotel is updated and very clean, with staff that's really friendly and helpful. On the hotel grounds there are several delicious restaurants and a clean and AC'd fitness center. The rooms aren't huge, but they're comfortable... More

If you are going to Hanoi, there is no hotel like the Legend Sofitel Metropole. The history of the hotel plus the service and attentions given by MOST of the staff is unforgettable! Very nice experience!

Stayed in Opera Wing (have to request, other side is older, more classic). 5 star chain hotel with lovely updated design touches. Don't typically like staying in 5 star chain hotels for holiday (as I do that for business), this was borne out by a tiny room, but very beautifully decorated, red touches, gorgeous Vietnamese looking furniture with a modern...

Great 'old time' atmosphere with all the modern amenities. Service was impeccable and staff couldn't do enough to assist. On arrival the concierge arranged front row tickets to the water puppet show with very short notice. We were checked into our room with minimal fuss and drinks by the pool was no fuss and high quality. Location was excellent, within... More

We stayed in Sofitel legend for two nights during our dragon boat holiday in Hanoi. Before that we stayed in Mercure, but we decided to spend a bit more in our last two nights to enjoy a bit luxury. But the experience is not as smooth as I expected. Firstly, I booked two nights with nonrefundable rate and breakfast not... More

The Metropole is the grand old dame of Hanoi. A reputation built on over a hundred years of excellent service, they are not about to rest on their reputation. I've stayed at the Metropole a couple of times in the last couple of years, as well as other Hanoi hotels. No other hotel quite compares. It is more european than... More

I stayed here on a business trip and was in the Historic wing. The whole experience was fanstastic. Really enjoyed the stay and the rooms are classic with all modern amenities. I was told that the Historic wing is more expensive than the modern wing. Will try the modern wing the next time. Breakfast selection is decent and when I... More
