This is the place to stay in Hanoi. It really has something for everyone. The historic side completely takes you back in time. You feel the French colonial style (but with all the modern conveniences). While this side of the hotel is original it does not feel shabby. It's as though you've stepped back in time and it's brand new.... More

I first stayed at the Metropole in 2007 and while the venue itself was of course impressive, I found the service a little aloof and frosty at times. I started going to other hotels when staying in Hanoi (always for work). Just recently I needed to come to Hanoi with a larger team and I had limited control over where... More

Amazing location and staff. Rooms a bit small but beautifully maintained. My only meal at the hotel was in it's Italian restaurant and it was pretty poor. I should have known better then eating at the hotel in one of the best eating cities in the world.

We stayed 2 nights in a standard room and 2 in a Club Room and would really recommend spending the extra on the Club Room as it was gorgeous and the breakfast in the Club was really nice and so were the afternoon teas and cocktails which we made sure to be around for. The bathroom in the Club Room... More

I was surprised to read the reviews of hotels in Hanoi and see that the Metropole wasn't number 1. I have stayed here every time I have been to Hanoi and would not stay anywhere else. It is an absolutely beautiful colonial style hotel, each room is decorated tastefully (both wings are equally wonderful) and the service is impeccable. I... More

Hanoi is a very busy and noisy city. The Metropole is an oasis of relaxation, superb service, excellent facilities, great casual eating at Le Club, and just oozes understated luxury. We spent 4 nights here in February this year. We travelled with some friends and all of us felt that this was one of the best hotels we had ever... More

This hotel is an excellent first class spot in Hanoi. It's a hotel that remembers what service actually means. The staff were terrific. We were on our honeymoon and the staff gave us an upgrade to an amazing room.We stayed in the new Opera section which was elegant and classy. Our view was of the pool, which meant no outside... More

This is a classy, first-rate hotel in every way; can't believe that it is not rated the Number One hotel in Hanoi. Colonial beauty, responsive staff, well-appointed rooms, easy internet access, excellent breakfasts -- I had no complaints whatsoever. For good measure, throw in its convenient location. I had been to Hanoi twice before but had stayed elsewhere -- no... More

We stayed in the old part of the hotel, which was charming. The layout of the room was a bit awkward, probably due to its age. Very clean, lovely lobby, good location, very helpful staff. Vegetarian food options were limited, although we had a nice meal in the Spices restaurant. Have stayed at the Melia before, and the Metropole definitely... More
