Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids aged 9 & 7) loved our stay at the Sofitel Hanoi. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. We were upgraded to a grand premium room in the opera wing which was appreciated. The heritage wing and its separate lobby are certainly a step in style if you can afford it but we were happy with the opera wing as it was more within our budget. The breakfast buffet (in the heritage wing in a glass atrium near pool) was amazing. We had one pool day at the hotel and were the only ones there and had a great lunch poolside. This is the place to stay in Hanoi! We stayed at the JW Marriott Hanoi at the end of our travels and although it’s beautiful as well, it’s in a modern part of the city in more of a business park so you don’t get the true Hanoi experience of staying in the old quarter near all the sights like you do with the Sofitel.

Well-appointed and well-located hotel with fantastic amenities and service. This Sofitel location is 5 star for a reason! We appreciated the thoughtful touches for our honeymoon and found the club benefits very nice. The staff is very helpful and attentive.

Location, service and luxury A great place to stay, an experience of hotel excellence, not often provided in the current climate. Staff that truly care, in an environment crafted to speak heritage. Stay in the 'heritage wing' if you can, but I am sure the service will be excellent wherever you stay.

I was just there to enjoy the ambience and had lunch at L'épicerie restuarant. Everyone from the staff i met in my short 2 hours there was amazing. Very friendly and ensured I was well taken care of. They are very friendly and were happy to share it is one of the oldest hotels in Hanoi, if not in all of Vietnam! Very classy and elegant design and interiors. I want to especially compliment Ms. Bao, who is one of the waitresses at L'epicerie. She was taking my orders for a lovely Provencal Fish Soup and Vietnamese noodles with spicy vegetables, but she went way beyond ordinary service. It was very thoughful when she recommended how i would like the dishes to be served. She always had a smile on her face! She also did not mind to go and check for me, where the old vintage car that was parked in the hotel was at! I was trying to get a photo with the nice dame!

A true luxury hotel. Starting from the check-in where we didn't have to stay at the reception. They took care of all the check-in while we are sitting in the lobby and sipping the welcome drink. We stayed at the heritage wing and I am not sure if it worth the money compared to the opera wing. Our room was small but luxurious. The breakfast was good and has alot of varieties and was enjoyable by the pool. The hotel is located at the old quarter which has an access to alot of locations.
