Lovely small hotel with the friendliest staff
Pros:

Excellent location and very comfortable room. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful

Cons:

Our room was at the front of the hotel and was noisy due to the road, but that is Hanoi and we slept very well anyway. Just be aware of this

Pros:

I was searching some place that was not that busy as the center of old quarter but not that far as well. There is no such option. So location was great.

Breakfast great. The room is large with a small balcony which I loved to drink coffee at 5 am wathing local people starting daily

Some people complaned about street sounds during the night but It is the price you pay to be walking distance from everything.

Staff is amazing indeed

Cons:

Bed could be more confortable and tv bigger but nothing that change my score

Izjemno osebje, dobra lokacija
Pros:

Odlična lokacija, izjemno prijazno osebje, ki ti ponudi osvežilno pijačo ob prihodu. Skrbno so nam spravili tudi prtljago po check out-u in bili zelo ustrežljivi.

Cons:

Hrana za zajtrk ni najboljše kvalitete, tudi oprema v sobi ni najbolje ohranjena. Sprejemljivo za to vrednost.

Highly recommend for a clean and comfortable stay in Hanoi
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sono Hotel.
We enjoyed the location - an easy walk to all the action in the Old Town and also a nice walk to the West Lake for something different. Our room was very clean and comfortable - nice and dry, no damp or mold (people travelling in the region will likely appreciate this as unfortunately, being such a humid climate can be an issue) and a lovely comfortable bed.
Although the window did not have any real view (which we did not expect) it let plenty of natural light in (another issue that can be common) and the AC worked well.
The breakfast was a decent buffet spread - the breakfast room was a bit hot, but just the nature of the time of year.
Above all the staff were so friendly and kind - greeting us by first name and asking how our days were, it was a wonderful level of customer service - thank you!

Because you can book tours through the hotel, and that is something that's mentioned in the reviews a lot, I wasn't sure if we'd feel any kind of pressure to book anything. This was not a concern at all - the staff left us to our own devices (which we appreciated because we were enjoying just exploring Hanoi and also resting a bit) but I felt they were very approachable had we wanted to enquire about anything as well :)

Una noche en Hanoi
Pros:

Cuando llegamos, hacía mucho calor en Hanoi, y el chico de recepción, preocupado por nosotros, nos acompañó a nuestra habitación para encender corriendo el aire a tope, despues de habernos recibido con una refrescante bedida.
El hotel está muy bien, y en una zona inmejorable, al lado de la zona más turística de Hanoi, cerca de todo, pero en una calle tranquila.

Cons:

Todo estaba bien

Fast alles super
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt! Das Zimmer war genau wie angegeben, sauber und bequeme Betten. Als wir ankamen, wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und haben viele tolle Empfehlungen bekommen. Der Mitarbeiter war sehr zuvorkommend und hat uns auch am darauffolgenden Tag gefragt, was wir machen wollen und uns sehr lieb beraten.

Cons:

Wir mussten im Nachhinein noch einen Koffer vom Flughafen abholen, weil dieser verspätet in Hanoi gelandet ist. Das haben wir einer Mitarbeiterin gesagt, woraufhin sie uns einen Fahrer organisiert hat. Sie hat uns einen Preis für die Fahrt genannt, mit dem wir zufrieden waren. Im Endeffekt hat die Fahrt mehr als das doppelte gekostet, weil sie uns nur den Hinweg berechnet hatte, obwohl wir ja nur kurz einen Koffer holen wollten und das auch so kommuniziert hatten, und der Rückweg vom Flughafen zum Hotel scheinbar teurer ist, als vom Hotel zum Flughafen. Hätten wir das vorher gewusst, hätten wir einen Fahrer über Grap bestellt, das wäre deutlich günstiger gewesen.
Am nächsten Tag haben wir einen Tagesausflug mit einem Boot gemacht und hatten gefragt, ob wir Handtücher (auch gegen Geld) ausleihen könnten. Dies wurde uns von der selben Mitarbeiterin verweigert. Sie meinte, auf den Booten würden sowieso meistens Handtücher verliehen. Dies war bei uns nicht der Fall und wir standen ohne da.

From the moment I checked in until the day I left, I had an excellent experience at The Sono. The service was fabulous. I could keep my luggage at the hotel during my trip to Sapa and Ha Long bay. They made my trip so much more memorable
