“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Rooms: They gave us a free upgrade for the room. Our room is clean, with a basket of fruit, it was similar to what we would have in any 4 star hotel in the US but only paying less than $80.

I have to add a note about the travel agent. Before going on the Halong Bay cruise, i had read about all the horror stories on the forums--about people not getting what they have been promised. We had the travel agent at the hotel to help us book the cruise trip-- Oriental Sail. We were promised that our 2day-1 night cruise would have all kinds of activities--Kayaking, visiting fishing village, etc. The second day of the cruise on Oriental Sail, it was raining a bit, our tour guide somehow decided to cancel all the activity scheduled. We didn't realize soon enough to complain while we were on the cruise. After we got back to the hotel, the agent asked about our trip. I complain to them about the 'non-activity day', which was not the hotel's fault at all. They called the cruise company and confirmed. To make it up for us, they got the cruise company to pay for our car ride back to the airport. that was very nice of them since it's not their fault. It was cruise company's fault. They went one more step to make sure our stay was perfect. I was very happy with my stay.

“Best service ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here last year and would highly recommend it. Firstly it's right in the heart of the old town but it was there customer service that was really outstanding. They organized a tour for us to Halong Bay and I left my hat on the bus. We were leaving to another hotel the day that we came back (not because we didn't like Hotel Elegance but because it was given to us as a honeymoon present), anyway they tracked my hat down for me and delivered to our new hotel. I had only mentioned that I had lost my hat in passing but never thought they would get it back for me. The ironic thing is that we stayed in a 5 star hotel for the next few days and felt we got better service at Hotel Elegance!

Hanoi Elegance Hotel Hanoi Elegance Hotel, Manager at Hanoi Elegance Emerald hotel, responded to this review
19 January 2012
Dear All,

On behalf of the management of Hanoi Elegance Group, we would like to express our sincerest acknowledgement for having chosen to stay at our Hanoi Elegance hotel at No. 85 Ma May street during your trip to Hanoi.

As you may know, the Hanoi Elegance hotel (formerly named Hanoi Elegance 2) has been on service for years and the building itself and its facilities have been worn out and depreciated. Though the service provided by our staff is always maintained at second to none level, many facilities and amenities are now merely in acceptable condition and in a dire need for major renovation or a re-build. Even though, our hotel staff and management are striving our best, we realize that the service cannot meet your expectation if the facilities are not up to high standard of our brand name. Therefore, we have decided to close this venue by the middle of this December 2011 and move the staff to our brand new venue at Essence Hanoi hotel – No. 22 Ta Hien street, just 50m from the Hanoi Elegance hotel.

The management and staff of the hotel would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your whole-heartedly support and look forward to welcoming you at other hotels in the chain. Please contact us through the official website or via the TA mailbox if you have any inquiries or need further clarifications on this matter.

Rest assured that we are always doing our best to live up to our long term commitment to create a memorable stay for you in Hanoi.

Thank you for your kind attention. We wish you all happy travel in this festive season and the New Year to come.

Sincerest Yours,

The Management
Hanoi Elegance Group

“GReat value, GReat staff,GReat location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

From the best hotel group in Hanoi, we checked out the other hotels on our walks around.
We have stayed here 3 times now once in 2004 and twice in august 2011.
attentive staff, clean facilities.
A great position in Ma May st, in the old quater of hanoi.
The tour orgainiser was helpful and not pushy.
they recently emailed us to tell us that they are closing for renevations, to me thats premature but that is the standard of this hotelgroup from what i saw at the other hotels.
im sure the new hotel same site will be a gem.
they offered the basic things you want from a stay.
clean serviced rooms, efficent staff and good value for money.

Room Tip: balcony rooms not much more expensiveand more spacious
