Capella Hanoi

Staying at Capella Hanoi was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Hanoi—despite not receiving a pre-arrival welcome email, the moment I stepped into the lobby, I knew this was going to be special. My Junior Suite was upgraded to a Capella Suite for both nights, and the space was breathtaking—the balcony offered stunning views, and the opulent opera-inspired interiors were perfect for slow, luxurious moments. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome cake and fresh fruit, and all soft drinks and snacks were complimentary. The manual coffee machine was a real treat—no pods, just rich, aromatic coffee made fresh by hand. There’s even a QR code linking to a tutorial video, which added a nice personal touch. Every room came equipped with an iPad, making it easy to schedule housekeeping, dining reservations, and activities—all from the comfort of your suite. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the in-room amenities like the sleep-enhancing tea and sweet mung bean paste were thoughtful little details. The suite was spacious enough to separate work and rest areas seamlessly, and the kids’ toiletries were adorable—plus, they were restocked the next day. Afternoon tea was free, and breakfast was half-buffet with unlimited oysters and steak—seriously great value. While the beef pho wasn’t as impressive as advertised, the red bean pho was absolutely delicious—so fresh and flavorful, it literally brought tears to my eyes. The pool is small but beautifully designed, and as soon as you sit down, refreshments are brought right away. Overall, the experience was exceptional. This is the only hotel in Hanoi I genuinely felt attached to—and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Plus, they even delivered detergent and dishware upon request—no need to go downstairs or hassle with supplies. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout my visit. This hotel offers incredible value for the price, and I’d definitely book again. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a home-like feel in the heart of Hanoi.

Sheraton Hanoi Hotel

Staying at Sheraton Hanoi Hotel was one of the quietest experiences I've had in any hotel—seriously, it felt like a peaceful oasis amid the bustling city. I'm not sure if it's because most locals ride electric scooters (which are quieter than regular motorcycles), but the ambient noise level outside was surprisingly low, making for a restful night's sleep. The location is excellent—right in the heart of Hanoi, just a short walk to major attractions and public transit. Breakfast was a highlight: diverse, fresh, and well-prepared with both local and international options. Comfortable rooms, great service, and an overall experience that exceeds expectations. If you're visiting Hanoi and want a calm, convenient, and high-quality stay, this hotel is absolutely worth considering.

I was thrilled to stay at this hotel during my first visit to Hanoi, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and feature real windows (with a small balcony), which made the space feel airy and inviting. Annie at the front desk was incredibly helpful—her English was excellent, and she gave me great recommendations for nearby restaurants and cafes. She even helped me communicate with our local driver, which saved me so much hassle. The breakfast pho was outstanding—so good that I had it for both my first meal and last meal of the trip.

La Sinfonia Citadel Hotel and Spa

Staying at La Sinfonia Citadel Hotel and Spa was a delightful experience overall. While it's a bit of a walk from the Old Quarter, the location is still convenient—just a short metro ride away, making access easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially the front desk attendant who was not only handsome but also genuinely shy and polite—such a pleasant surprise! The room itself was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches, creating a cozy and elegant atmosphere. Breakfast was simple but sufficient—nothing fancy, but definitely filling. The highlight has to be the second-floor spa; it’s serene and luxurious, but booking ahead is essential—showing up without a reservation could lead to disappointment. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, great service, and a peaceful retreat in Hanoi. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort and charm.
