Service plus que parfait, des chambres confortables, un emplacement clé pour visiter Hanoi !
Merci à toutes les équipes de nous avoir fait rêver quelques jours ☺️
La piscine est fantastique, le spa et la salle de sport sont très agréables.
L'emplacement est bon et proche du lac et des zones authentiques bondées. On peut se rendre partout à pied en 45 minutes.
Le bar Angelina de l'hôtel est très élégant.
Le prix de la chambre, 250 euros par nuit, est tout à fait suffisant pour Hanoi. Je ne dépenserais pas plus, c'est encore une ville en pleine ascension.
En juillet, il a fait brutalement chaud, pas de soleil, une humidité comme sous la douche !
Malgré tout, c'est formidable de découvrir la culture vietnamienne et de voir une ville si différente de l'Europe.
Cet hôtel est un point de départ idéal.
Ce qui nous a le plus marqué, c'est qu'il nous a proposé de nous apporter du pho dans notre chambre, même si c'était si tard dans la nuit. Nous avons accepté et ce fut notre premier bol de pho au Viêt Nam et, honnêtement, le meilleur que nous ayons mangé de tout le voyage. Ce petit geste nous a fait sentir qu'on prenait soin de nous et a vraiment donné le ton de notre séjour.
La gentillesse et l'attention de Long ont fait une grande différence, surtout après une longue journée de voyage. C'est en grande partie grâce à lui que notre expérience au Sofitel a été si mémorable.
