Excellent experience and an exceptional bunch of team ensuring the hotel guest is enjoy their stay .
Pros:

Everything , most importantly the team making our stay and the experience truly memorable. Since this is the second part of our stay in continuation of our first phase stay 24-27May , the break of a night because we had booked an overnight cruise and we returned back the following day in the evening and continued our holiday stay at Lucien . As I had mentioned , each and every member of the team made our stay and experience a memorable one . Dana stood out for her exceptional and deft handling of our stay ensuring we had the best experience and Frank always ready to help with information .

Accomodation and tour booking and communication, suggestions and advice were all excellent.
Pros:

The most friendly and helpful staff of pretty much any hotel i stay with. They put some of the big hotel chains to shame with the service and engagement!

Cons:

Shower spillover kept the bathroom floor wet in the smaller unit.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay
Pros:

We were extremely satisfied with our stay, and the hotel exceeded all of our expectations.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff with cold drinks and fresh fruit. They provided all the necessary information right away.

Every staff member was attentive in a very professional and thoughtful manner — never intrusive, but always making us feel genuinely cared for.

The room had everything we needed: it was spacious, well air-conditioned, and kept perfectly clean every day. The happy hour at the rooftop bar is highly recommended. There is even a jacuzzi pool with a stunning view over the lake, which made the experience even more special.

Breakfast offered both Vietnamese and European options, with a wide variety of delicious food to enjoy.

The hotel location is also excellent. Nearby, you can easily find ATMs, great massage shops, convenience stores, the night market, and the lake — everything is within walking distance.

Notwithstanding, the highest praise goes to all the staff members, especially Grace. For a special birthday surprise, she and the other staff secretly put so much effort into beautifully decorating the room and arranging extra gifts and a cake (which I had, of course, paid for and discussed in advance). Their kindness and dedication made the stay truly unforgettable. Thank you so much!

Excellent and memorable stay !
Pros:

Centrally located in the old quarter , stones throw away from the Hoan Kiem Lake . Exceptional team , from the bell boys to the Managers , each and every one were genuine and honest in their attitude, always ready to help with a smile. A big shout out to Grace for making the arrangements , Dana for ensuring our stay was as comfortable and pleasant as possible , not forgetting Frank for his attention briefing us with all the local map/logistics , then Luna , Lily and the rest of the team , all of them made our stay memorable . We had split our stay in two parts 24-27May & 28-30May ,as we had booked an overnight cruise and had to leave some of our luggage with the Hotel left luggage . It was a breeze , the team ensured a seamless transition , we never felt we had actually left the hotel . While our stay was short , the experience left a lasting impression , we will certainly visit again .

Cons:

Even if there were one , the staff and the team made it up . Never let us feel any short coming’s .

Pros:

Das Personal war sehr gut, überaus freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war gross und hat ein grosses Fenster, die Klimaanlage war effektiv und LEISE. Das Hotel liegt in der Altstadt und nahe einem See, um den herumspazieren kann. Der Autoverkehr wird am Wochenende um den See herum ausgesperrt. Die Trainstreet ist zu Fuß erreichbar und Restaurants sind in der Umgebung reichlich vorhanden. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausreichend und lecker, da sollte jeder etwas finden.

Cons:

Es gibt zwar ein grosses Fenster im Zimmer, was wohl in Hanoi nicht selbstverständlich ist, aber die Aussicht war nicht schön. In der Nachbarschaft gingen Renovierungarbeiten, auch in der Nacht weiter. Das Hotel hat versucht Abhilfe zu schaffen und es gab Rabatt auf eine Anwendung im Spa. Uns waren die Kissen im Bett zu hoch und hart, was aber eher Geschmackssache ist. Im Badezimmer würde ich mir mehr Haken wünschen, um etwas aufhängen zu können. Für 2 Personen sind die Staumöglichkeiten für Bekleidung zu gering, wenn man länger bleiben möchte.

Schönes Hotel mitten in der Altstadt nah am See mit super freundlichem Team und schöner Rooftop-Bar.
Pros:

Super freundliches Team mit sehr nettem persönlichen Empfang durch die Rezeptionistin Lucie mit Erfrischungsgetränk und vielen Informationen und Tipps. Tolle Betreuung und Unterstützung bei der Planung und Buchung von Taxi und Aktivitäten. Auch alle anderen Mitarbeiter im Hotel waren super hilfsbereit und freundlich. Klasse Unterstützung beim late checkout - mit Gepäckaufbewahrung und Duschmöglichkeit im schönen Spa-Bereich. Obwohl das Hotel in der verkehrsberuhigten Altstadt liegt, können Grab-Taxis vor die Tür fahren - nach kurzer telefonischer Abstimmung durch die Rezeptionisten mit dem Grab-Fahrer.
Schöne Lage - nahe am See, inmitten der Altstadt, kein Autolärm,v alles zu Fuß erreichbar.
Wunderschöne Rooftop bar mit Traumblick auf den See und die Stadt.
