Hotel mythique. Une belle architecture, l’emplacement est parfait. Tous les restaurants/bars sont excellents.
Piscine sublime!
L’odeur dans les couloirs des chambres est très désagréable. L’armoire pour les habits est petite.

食事が美味しい、ホテルが綺麗。
5星ホテルなのに、浴槽が付いてない
This was my first time in Vietnam on a last minute business trip.
My colleagues recommended Sofitel, especially mentioned it has an excellent breakfast program, in addition to exceptional coffee.
My room was fantastic, beautifully decorated, very clean and quite comfortable.
Breakfast was easily in the top 3 among top hotels around the world, both in quality and selections...and i have been to quite a few of them. I had the pleasure of enjoying Sofitel's delicious breakfast twice before I depart. Both daily soups are freshly made, special and unique in their own way.
The coffee service definitely stands out....best Egg coffee I ever had. It was exquisite in the way it was served and taste.
Service was extraordinary. Special shout out to Giang, who guided me through hotel's breakfast services + coffee station. And introduce me to their daily noodle/soup station, including all the authentic local ingredients. Her assistances is definitely a highlight of my stay at this very fine, world class hotel.
I look forward to my return visit to Hanoi, both on business or on a personal vacation with family.
Sincerely
C. Lin
Fabulous historical hotel in Hanoi
A must stay if touring Vietnam.
Great restaurant for breakfast.
Enjoyed the bar in the evening.
Thoroughly recommended
Ottima posizione, cibo di qualità e gentilezza del personale. Design curato e stupenda piscina.
Ho prenotato la stanza nella nuova ala e purtroppo non era stato comunicato che ci sono ancora lavori in corso che disturbano.
L’ho fatto presente e subito dopo hanno soltanto appeso un cartello. Sono rimasta delusa visto lo standard di hotel scelto
We spent two nights at the Metropole in the year it celebrates its 125th anniversary. It rightfully deserves its legendary status. We received a complimentary upgrade to the Graham Greene Suite in the Heritage wing - which is simply spectacular. The service from staff across the board was outstanding. Metropole benefits give you access to a luxurious afternoon tea and also evening cocktails experience, both of which we enjoyed very much. We had a late flight to catch and the team offered us a late check out, making use of a different room. Really this is a hotel that goes above and beyond.
A heartfelt thanks to the whole team - until next time!
An unforgettable birthday dinner experience for our friend Jeremy.Excellent cocktails !Our compliments to the waitress Ngoc for her recommendations on the cocktail Charlie Chaplin!Exceptional birthday dinner at the Spice garden and our compliments to the assistant manager Selena for her impeccable service.We hope to be back some day
A beautiful property with a fascinating history. The staff provided exceptional, warm service throughout our stay, and the food and beverages were truly outstanding. It made our trip extra special.
This is the most exceptional hotel I have ever stayed at. The photos do not lie. The dining options are exceptional. Above all, the staff have a commitment to the highest level of service. Special call out to the Bamboo bar/pool area staff. Can't wait to return for the 5th time.
Nothing to fault with a hotel that maintains the highest attention to detail.
The staff were incredibly helpful and hospitable. It was a joy to stay here
Our stay at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi exceeded every expectation and was undoubtedly one of the most memorable parts of our visit to Vietnam.
From check-in to departure, the level of hospitality was outstanding. Every interaction with the staff reflected genuine warmth, professionalism, and a sincere commitment to making our family feel at home. They paid close attention to every detail and were especially caring and accommodating with our children, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The hotel itself is elegant and full of character, with beautifully appointed rooms, excellent facilities, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Hanoi. What truly distinguishes this property, however, is the exceptional team whose dedication and gracious service leave a lasting impression.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi for making our stay so special. We leave with wonderful memories and would gladly recommend this remarkable hotel to anyone seeking an unforgettable luxury experience in Hanoi.
What a wonderful introduction to Vietnam! This hotel is an amazing in every way! First and foremost — the service is impeccable! The attention to detail and concern and anticipation of our needs was unparralled. Two examples: when we checked out today they had a breakfast basket waiting for us because they knew we were checking out early. We did not ask them — they just did this! Another example — yesterday, they reminded us of our benefits for afternoon tea and drinks! Which we had not previously realized…. Anything we asked they immediately responded to. And we ask them for all kinds of things - from where to buy silk to what coffee to purchase and where.
Regarding the food, the quality is also excellent and plentiful and tasty. Especially their coffee...Their fine French restaurant a real treat... AND their Charley Chaplin cocktail was amazing... I had so many ..
About the room -- we wisely booked one of their metropole suites. So worth the money! it was ENORMOUS - we loved the space and especially the large bathroom AND a second FULL bathroom. The amenities were fantastic. The AC works extremely well (very important). Housekeeping is also excellent.
The hotel itself is a historical site and we very much enjoyed the atmosphere and history. I recommend not to miss the tour of the bomb shelters — although I warn you that it is intense.
Basically - they get everything right… Not a single misstep in our 5 nights and 6 days here!! Our only regret is that we did not book our tours etc via them (we booked with a private agent). I would recommend that you book with their concierge.
Some tips about Hanoi - it is HOT (soooo HOT) so pace yourself…. Outside of Hanoi proper, we visited Nam Bing (which was just so-so) and Ha long Ba (amazing…). We wisely booked a private boat cruise for Ha Long Bay. It was much better than the large groups, although the boat itself was not as comfortable.
Overall - if you are visiting Hanoi - you cannot go wrong to stay in the Metropole and I would suggest that you benefit from this excellent hotel as much as possible! You will not be disappointed.
Everyone vaguely familiar with the Sofitel Legend Metrople is aware of it's history steeped luxury.
Moving from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi city into the lobby of the Metropole is akin to time travel to a bygone era.
It is of course a matter of taste but I am tempted to say that the experience is as close to perfection as it can get.
But what made our stay particularly legendary is the very friendly and attentive staff.
The very warm welcome of Sam at the Club Bar made us feel at home right away. Giang at the Spice Garden helped us discover and appreciate some of the Vietnamese delicacies served at the breakfast buffet and gave us some very helpful tips for our day in the city. And finally we need to mention Ngan operating behind the scene as the wonderful barista at the Spice Garden. The egg coffee and salted coffee are nothing short of fantastic. Thank you!
