Soleil Boutique Hotel Hanoi

We loved our large room with a huge bathroom, and a balcony with a view. This was our first time in Vietnam and so glad we picked Soleil Boutique Hotel. They arranged transportation from the airport to the hotel and were very good about communicating details so we didn't miss finding our driver. I loved going out on our hotel balcony to enjoy the view and the action of the city. Breakfast every morning was great with lots of variety of food. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always willing to help and answer any questions you may have. We enjoyed cocktails at the SkyBar and cooling off in the rooftop pool with the panoramic view. So nice to have the pool after a long hot day of sightseeing. The hotel is just minutes away from Train Street so we went there twice, at night and during the day to get both experiences. We ate delicious Hot Pot just across the Street, to the left, and down a smaller street. We enjoyed spa treatments at the hotel with Anna and Hannah with Leah making sure everything went well. It was easy to get a spa appointment at the time we wanted. Make sure you arrive to check-out in the morning a bit early before you have to leave for your next place. They get busy in the morning and they need to check your room before you can leave. Hanoi is noisy so just know that depending on the room location, you are not going to have a room that is totally quiet because the noise of the city comes through. Lots of sirens and honking. That's just the Hanoi experience. The city does mostly quiet down after midnight and you will be so exhausted from walking and the heat that sleep should come easily. We walked everywhere. It was nice to walk around the city and explore for a few hours. Then have a beautiful hotel to go back to, to shower off the sweat and change clothes, and go out again to experience something different. Love, love, my time in Hanoi, and at Soleil Boutique hotel.

We had an excellent stay at this hotel! Peter and his front desk team were fantastic—always welcoming, professional, and eager to help. Peter, in particular, went above and beyond to assist us in navigating the complexities of organising our day trips, making our experience seamless and enjoyable. The entire hotel staff was exceptionally polite and professional, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our stay. Our room was fantastic—elegantly designed, spacious, and with a classy feel that added to the overall comfort. The hotel’s location is another major plus. It’s situated in a great spot in the city, close to many must-visit places, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. Overall, a superb experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

We stayed in the top room with a great view of the city and a round bed (suite with terrace). There was a luxurious bathtub and lots of closet space. The weather was cold and rainy while we were there, and we were glad our room had central heating. The room was large and modern, although not decorated to the level of a top hotel. Because of the weather we didn't get to enjoy the rooftop bar, pool or use our balcony. The staff spoke very good English and were very helpful to us with restaurant and tourism recommendations. The hotel is very close to the train street which was entertaining.

The room was beautifully appointed and comfortable. The hotel was in a good location, just on the outside of old town, but still close to everything. But if you don't want to walk, most places are about 30k long in a grab.

We had an amazing stay at Soleil. The Hotel staff is very well trained and extremely friendly. Whatever our request was, we received prompt and great support by the front desk. The rooftop Pool and bar provide great cocktails as well as an incredible view on Hanoi - you can even enjoy the sunset very nicely here. The spa treatments were very enjoyable and relaxing while also being affordable. The location of the Hotel at the outer rim of the old quarter is still relatively central. Everything in the old quarter can be reached within max 25 minutes by foot (and the area is not small). There are several nice restaurants in the area as well as other nice bars. A busy streetfood area is closeby, worth checking out. The breakfast was of high quality, although more enjoyable to omnivores than vegetarians. Extending the cheese selection by 2 more cheeses, or providing some vegetarian spreads would already achieve a lot in this regard. On a closing note - great coffee. All in all an exceptional stay, we felt very welcome. We cannot recommend Soleil enough.
