“Hanoi's storied legend, beautifully kept”
Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is the 1901 icon — a classic French-style property with tropical trees, professional super nice staff like front-desker Celin, and breakfasts of top quality across three restaurants spanning Vietnamese and Western dishes. The historical tour with a polite, funny guide is a highlight. Real flaws temper it: no clear signage makes the lovely interior hard to explore, one room smelled moldy with a sunless balcony, a cracked canopy and a tub-shower combo, the pool is small, and a full main breakfast restaurant once meant an à-la-carte fallback.
