MAY DE VILLE Lakeside Hotel

I stayed at May de Ville Lakeside Hotel in Hanoi and was really impressed overall. The room isn't very large, but it’s clean, well-maintained, and comfortable for a short stay. Noise insulation is average—some sound from the hallway can be heard, so if you're sensitive to noise, consider asking for a quieter room. What truly stands out is the location. Right outside the hotel is the old quarter, where you can easily explore local shops, street food stalls, and authentic Vietnamese culture. Just steps away is the peaceful lake, offering beautiful views, especially at sunset. It’s perfect for travelers who want to be immersed in the city’s vibe without having to travel far. With great value for money and a central spot, I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Staying at May de Ville Corner Hotel in Hanoi was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it easy to explore everything Hanoi has to offer. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming.

Breakfast was a highlight: a well-rounded buffet with both local Vietnamese dishes and Western options, all delicious and freshly prepared. The rooftop view was simply breathtaking—the panoramic sight of the city skyline, especially at sunset, made it worth every moment. The only minor downside was some slight sound transfer between rooms, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. This hotel offers excellent value, great comfort, and a memorable stay. I’d definitely come back.

InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72

The InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72 truly delivers on the luxury experience I expected from a five-star hotel. From the thoughtful ambient scent to the elegant interior design, every detail contributes to a refined and welcoming atmosphere. While there are some construction sites nearby—something inevitable in a city as rapidly developing as Hanoi—the vibrant energy of the area adds character. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in a Korean-friendly zone with plenty of authentic shops and fellow travelers from South Korea, making it feel like a mini Seoul getaway. The hotel regularly hosts themed events, and during my stay, there was a fun fried chicken and beer night along with a special Korean strawberry tart dessert. Even more exciting? I discovered they had a countdown party that evening—staff were incredibly energetic and engaging, turning it into a memorable highlight. Every employee I interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. This level of hospitality is rare and truly worth noting. Definitely coming back.

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.

Pan Pacific Hanoi

Staying at Pan Pacific Hanoi was a real highlight—being right on the edge of West Lake makes for incredible views, especially from rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to stunning lake vistas. The photos are absolutely picture-perfect from those angles. That said, not all rooms offer the same view; some have smaller windows, which limits the scenic appeal and makes photography trickier. While the room interiors do feel a bit dated, the location more than makes up for it. Easy access to downtown by metro, peaceful surroundings, and that unbeatable lakeside setting really elevate the experience. It’s a great choice if you value ambiance and convenience over ultra-modern design.

Grand Mercure Hanoi

Staying at Grand Mercure Hanoi was an absolute delight—cleanliness exceeded all expectations. The entire property and my room were spotless, modern, and well-maintained, with a subtle fresh scent throughout that made the space feel inviting. Even though the room is compact, it’s thoughtfully designed with everything you need—perfect for a one-night stay before heading to Halong Bay. I didn’t get a chance to use many of the hotel amenities, but what I experienced was already impressive. While it's a bit removed from the city center, the quiet location actually works in its favor—no noise disturbances at all. What truly stood out was the surprise wedding anniversary gift: a sweet treat and fresh flowers delivered to my room. For such a reasonable rate, this level of personal touch was incredibly touching.

Staying at the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi was an absolute highlight of my trip to Hanoi.
