it is one of those hotels that while they have marked history, they are still excellent in their own right! Location is excellent. Both rooms and service are of excellent standards! Rooms are extremely well equipped with absolutely everything you may need as a traveler. In a country where food is one of the main highlights, Sofitel keeps up to... More

This is a wonderful hotel in Hanoi ... I only stayed for one night, but it was beautiful with a colonial feel ... first class customer service ...lovely rooms, restaurant, pool and shop. Really special and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel, with beautiful rooms, and a fabulous pool and bar scene. Service is excellent. We enjoyed coming back to the beautiful grounds, and our lovely (and cool!) room to take a break from the madness of Hanoi. I used the gym a few times- excellent. I also went to yoga one morning- it took place atop... More
