Solaria Hanoi Hotel

Both the facilities and staff were amazing. Breakfast buffet has a great selection and all the food tasted amazing. The staff always went above and beyond expectations especially Hannah who made sure our stay was amazing. Sol restaurant had the best service of any place I went to in Vietnam, the way the staff presented the food and served it was very special. Also would definitely recommend getting a massage at solaria the ladies are amazing and I even managed to fall asleep mid massage which I think is peak relaxation.

Nice rooms with a great breakfast and wonderful(!!) restaurant (Mia’s) in the basement. Also a very cool, though a bit pricy) rooftop bar.

This hotel offers a delightful combination of a mini buffet and an à la carte menu, enabling guests to savor both the standard breakfast fare and some local delicacies such as “bun cha,” “pho,” and “xoi xeo.” The highlight of the breakfast, in my opinion, was the fresh juice station, and I particularly appreciated the frequent replenishment of food items. Despite its modest size, the hotel’s staff are remarkably efficient and attentive, striving to create memorable experiences for their guests. Additionally, the hotel’s proximity to Hoan Kiem Lake makes it conveniently located for tourists eager to explore the Old Quarter area.

Before we had even stepped foot in Vietnam, the team at Solaria reached out to see how they could enhance our trip. For several months myself and Ryan conversed, with him imparting his expert knowledge of both Hanoi and Vietnam, to help us organise our trip. We were then met by a very friendly and careful driver when we landed late at night at the airport who took us to the hotel which is conveniently located within the Hoan Kiem district, of the Old Quarter, literally a stones throw away from the lake. The check in process was smooth and simple and both Susan and Lily went out of their way to recommend attractions, made sure we had all the details of the hotel and provided us with SIM Cards which they ensured worked. The room itself was well appointed and was just what we needed. It had more than enough space for the two of us and the bathroom was huge! Breakfast each day was plentiful with a good array of both Western and Vietnamese options, as well as those for vegetarians. Each morning we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who provided further recommendations for activities based on the days weather and who checked that you had a good nights sleep and whether there was anything additional for the room. We also took advantage of the Sky Bar which had great views (we were even provided with hot water bottles as it was slightly chilly) and the massage service which was great and reasonably priced. Prior to arriving Ryan also helped book our Ha Long Bay cruise, and even checked in on us after we had checked out to make sure everything had gone well and we had arrived at our onwards destination safely. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hanoi and would like to thank Susan, Lily and Ryan for everything they did to make the trip so Special.

Location was perfect. Staff were brilliant! Offered welcome drinks, cake and towel upon arrival. Airport transfers were also offered. Facilities and room itself were clean and spacious enough. Breakfast had alot of choices and on top of that you could also order off the menu which was inclusive. Also had a restaurant downstairs which was amazing! Spa in the hotel was nice and comes with a discount for in-house guests. Rooftop bar was cozy and they even gave me a hot water bag for my stomach cramps and also when it was too cold. My parents had an early checkout and the hotel provided them with packed breakfast. Room service was on the dot, every time we asked for something it wouldn’t take longer than 5 minutes. And lastly, when we checked out they gave us a goodie bag of coffee. Despite the shower issue, I’d definitely rate this hotel 5/5! Worth the price! And the staff are incredible.
