# Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

A five-star Sofitel Legend on Ngo Quyen — Hoàn Kiếm 0.1 km, historic luxury prose — with food scores that do not match the room-quality praise.

## Verdict

Book it for the Metropole address and beautiful rooms; do not book it expecting breakfast or hotel food to match — food and beverage scores 8.29 with appalling breakfast prose in the same analysis.

Geography: Hoàn Kiếm 0.1 km, Old Quarter 0.2 km, water-puppet theatre 0.2 km, Opera House 0.9 km. Location scores 10 out of 10.

The supplier rating is 9.6 out of 10 from 1,206 reviews, captured 9 January 2026. Room quality 9.98; service 9.99; location 10; amenities 10. Food and beverage 8.29 — the weak link — with uninspiring food and appalling breakfast named. Overall experience 9.29 with disappointment language in the same seed block.

Facilities include pool, garden, terrace, airport shuttle and multiple restaurants. Sofitel Legend branding.

Noi Bai Airport is 25 km on our POI figures.

## Is Sofitel Metropole worth it despite the food scores?

Only if the historic address and room quality (9.98) are what you are buying. Food and beverage is 8.29 out of 10 from 1,206 reviews as of 9 January 2026 with breakfast called appalling — plan meals outside.

## How close is the Old Quarter?

0.2 km on our POI figures — essentially the same lake cluster as the boutiques, different heritage front door.
