This hotel is a wonderful experience! Even with the Emir of Qatar visiting at the same time using metal detectors to go back and forth......it is a courteous, charming old world hotel that has not lost its appeal, at all. No signs of wear and tear......and the pool area is worth a whole afternoon. The bamboo Bar off the pool... More

We stayed at the Metropole on January as part of the I love Chocolate package. We had club privileges which I highly recommend, including cocktails and afternoon tea in the club lounge daily. We loved our room in the Opera wing. Loved the French restaurant, particularly the Tet degustation menu. The only thing we did not liked was the spa... More

Stayed in the new wing. the hotel is charming & retains the old french colonial look/atmosphere. Close to the near by lake, water puppet show & the old quarter. Lots to see in the old quarter--within easy wakling distance. Many restaurants nearby. A big advantage is to be able to use US dollars--no need to exchange into Dongs. More

I stayed in the new wing both times in a standard double room (1 king bed). Pros: - The hotel is exquisitely charming. Great French colonial feel to the entire hotel in... More

Hotel is beautiful, staff very accommodating. Just wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the pool. Oh well, the champagne in the romantic Club Bar made... More

The location is exceptional, many of the major attractions of down-town Hanoi can be reached by a few minutes walk and as well famous luxus brands as also the old city center with pittoresque streets, small shops and restaurants are just nearby. The hotel lobby, rooms and... More

This is my second time in Hanoi for a holiday. This time I decided to stay at the Sofitel Metropole because of the charm and the ambience of the hotel. This didn't disappoint me as the hotel is the best place to stay in Hanoi. Beautiful and charming! We bought the Accor Plus Advantage card that we were able to... More

Hard to add much beyond what everyone else has written. We stayed there twice over the course of a trip throughout the region, and both stays were wonderful. Would recommend getting a room in the old wing, the new wing is nice but less charm. Was a great experience. Club bar has a really nice old world vibe. More
