さすがです。
Pros:

ハネムーンと伝えていたころ、チョコレート、バラの花束、ラウンジへのチェックアウト後のアクセスなど、暖かいサービスを用意してくれていました。オペラウィングに泊まりました。内装の豪華なこと！！また機会があれば泊まりたいです。スパイスガーデンのサービススタッフもかなり教育されていて、楽しいひとときでした。

Cons:

特におもいつきません。

Best way to end the honeymoon
Pros:

Location, attention to detail, food, staff.

I want to give shout out to Nghia at the reception for being the best staff experience we had in the whole trip in Vietnam.

Cons:

It was hard to communicate with some of the staff in English. The biggest miss was our server in the Le Beau restaurant. We booked the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing and we could understand the explanations of the courses.

A joyous mixture of heritage and luxury
Pros:

This hotel is a glorious time capsule, but in no way feels stuffy or oppressive. The Heritage Wing, which has been recently renovated, is absolutely worth the additional cost. It made visiting a bustling city like Hanoi a dream.

Cons:

I loved it all.

Luxurious escape from the teeming bustle of wonderful Hanoi
Pros:

Calmness that surrounds guests entering the hotel from a busy and noisy Hanoi!

Cons:

The area round the pool seemed a little constrained by outdoor eating area but this is likely down to limited space anyway. Pool water was rather on the cold side too
