Members' reviews on SOFITEL LEGEND METROPOLE HANOI
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
L'hôtel lui-même est charmant, les installations sont excellentes et il y a une bonne variété d'options de restauration.
Le personnel est un facteur de différenciation - incroyablement serviable et poli
Si je devais trouver un point qui n'était pas 5/5, ce serait que la chambre était légèrement datée/fatiguée et pourrait probablement bénéficier d'un peu de capex. Cela dit, i) ce n'est certainement pas un problème en soi ; et ii) ils ont récemment rénové l'autre moitié des chambres, alors peut-être que celle-ci sera bientôt rénovée
