A short guide to Old Quarter - Hoan Kiem Lake

The atmospheric, narrow streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter have much to offer travelers, including Red River boat tours and water puppet theatre. Hoan Kiem Lake features its own temple, 8th century Jade Mountain Temple, as well as a small tower, built on an islet to honor the lake’s golden tortoise of legend.

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi 2009.09.26
Recommended Trip type: Romance "The best in Hanoi"

Reviewed by Tim of New York on Sep 26, 2009

Great service in the heart of Hanoi. The staff is very nice and the hotel is beautiful! Was offered free internet access since I was staying for 5 days. That was really nice since internet access is about $25/day. The only thing I didn't like was the spa services.. the massage was pretty bad..and considering the cost, that was the only downside. My wife felt even worse about her massage. We ended up at a outside massage place hoi coc(sp?) that was great for 1/3 of the price at the hotel. The restaurants were good..not great.. the french restaurant in there was over rated.. food was very high quality but bland. I liked the Italian steakhouse much better. use room service a lot and the general restaurant for pizza,pho, ice cream and breakfast.. all very good. Didn't try out the Spice restaurant.. seems to have only grilled food. Hotel is about a 5 min walk to the famous lake and 10 min to the old quarters.. you can also take a cyclo ( 3 bucks/hr ) to take you around if its too hot or your lazy like me. For 3 hours plus tip its only 11 USD! What a deal! Hands down one of the best 5 star hotels I've been in.. and I've been in a lot of them.

Recommended Trip type: Business "If you like "old" comfort"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 20, 2009

Sofitel has two properties in Hanoi - the colonial-era Metrolpole and the new Plaza. Both are excellent with excellent service, food and facilities. If you would like the comfort of a hotel that "reeks" with history, antiques (real and faux), and elegant decorations, then the Metropole is an outstanding choice. Meals are a little pricey, considering the standard and its sister hotel, the Plaza, but breakfast can be included in the standard rate. The Metropole's location is also outstanding in the heart of the historical quarter.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Splendid Experience in Metropole Hotel"

Reviewed by S of Bangkok, Thailand on Aug 31, 2009

I think this hotel can give you a good experience in Hanoi. In fact, Hanoi city is very crowed and chaotic. Staying in this hotel can make you feel being in another world. I would recommend this hotel for those who want to stay and relax in busy Hanoi. Nice and easy life in Hanoi is yours when you stay in this hotel. One minor remark here is the check-in process in a bit slow but it is accpetable for me in 5 stars hotel arena.

Reviewed by D of Los Angeles, California USA on Mar 6, 2009

The Metropole is a world-class hotel that offers fabulous service in an understated way. All of the staff is extremely courteous and professional. The hotel is in great condition. The rooms in the new wing are larger but lack the charm of the older ones, which are less expensive. The hotel is in a very centralized location. The various eating choices, while more expensive than the neighboring restaurants, offer high quality. A highly recommended place to stay.
