What we say:

If you love to travel in comfort and luxury, and have the green to spring for it, you don't need to shop around: This is the place. Dating back to 1901, the Hanoi Metropole is without doubt Hanoi's colonial classic, with a grandeur and timeless charm unmatched in the city. Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and even Jane Fonda have padded their way through the hotel's polished wooden corridors and lounged in the lovely, atmospheric rooms. The hotel built a new second building in 1996 and while the rooms in the Opera Wing are quite attractive, if you're going to stay at the Metropole, then stay in the original Historical Wing, as the old building is worth every single (extra) penny it will cost. Within the Historical Wing, the Classic Deluxe category is the most popular. Be sure to specify a room with a view as some don't offer much of one. The cherry on top is the location, a short walk from Hoan Kiem and the Old Quarter and a stone's throw from the Opera House. Excellent for a romantic getaway, long sleep-in and breakfast in bed. Very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

outstanding staff

Stayed for three nights on a trip for our 20th wedding anniversary. Had told the hotel in advance that it was our anniversry. Booked for the historical wing and were upgraded to the next category of room. At check in wife was presented with a bunch of long stem roses and bed was laid out with rose petals in a heart shape with a box of choclates in the middle! All complimentary. Must try the choclate buffet. Is great value. Only downside was that internet computer was hard to find (the business centre was in an adjoining building) and they charged us$5.00 per hour.
