MAY DE VILLE Corner Hotel

The property was situated just outside of the old quarter but a walkable distance to Hoan Kiem lake, beer street and train street. Being outside the old quarter did allow for a more restful sleep away from the noise of the busier streets of old quarter. We really enjoyed this area and the pool and roof top bar are a great addition to the stay and the view from the top was incredible! All the staff are lovely and welcoming and made us feel looked after. Special mention to Allen, went above and beyond for us and made getting our room easy to check into.

This was our most expensive hotel in Vietnam - as I wanted to finish our 3 weeks stay in a bit of comfort after some off-the-beaten track / slightly uncomfortable adventures. I will judge then this hotel not on its own but in comparison to what I had a chance to experience in Vietnam - as a value for money. Yes, the hotel is very good, it aims to be on the posh side, as the staff is very kind, professional and attends to your every need. We even got a small gift when leaving ! BEst thing - BREAKFAST FOR KINGS ! It is a buffet and you can get absolutely everything - from traditional Vietnamese Pho to English bacon/eggs/beans to sandwiches, croissants etc. a BLAST !!! Unfortunately I am not giving it a 10 stars as we had similar comfortable rooms in other places for much lower price ( but it might be the fact that it is capital and the National Holidays were approaching - meaning higher demand and higher prices ) and few issues decribed below.

I had a wonderful 2-night stay at May de Ville Corner in Hanoi and would go back without a second thought if I return to the city! From start to finish, communication was excellent – the staff replied to all my enquiries quickly and clearly. Everyone I encountered, from the lovely reception team to the kind doormen and kitchen staff, made me feel genuinely welcome. They were all simply beautiful. A special mention to Hazel, who truly went above and beyond. One evening, I ran out of cash and realised I had left my card back at the hotel – an easy mistake when you’re used to digital cards in Australia! Hazel was so helpful and made sure we got back to the hotel safely and quickly. Her kindness really stood out. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I appreciated having a safe in the room for passports and valuables. Breakfast was fantastic – fresh, generous, and regularly topped up by caring staff. I also had the best vegetarian curry I’ve ever eaten during lunch at the hotel! What really touched me was how accommodating they were with my autistic child. He was overwhelmed when we didn’t get the same table as earlier, and the staff kindly allowed us to move without hesitation. That thoughtful gesture meant a lot to us.

The breakfast was lovely! Wide arrangement and eggs cooked to your liking. Staff were so kind and accommodating, holding doors getting lifts, looking after bags. Spa was fabulous. Obviously slightly more expensive but they had a 30% offer when we were there and it was well worth it. Private rooms and a drink on arrival and the interiors were very lovely. We had a Vietnamese massage and a hot stone massage and both were fabulous and we left feeling very well pampered.

It was in a more quiet part of the old town which actually was nice. Walking distance to everything. Rooms were very nice, clean and spacious. The view from the restaurant and tje rooftop terrace was FANTASTIC!!! We loved the terrace with the pool and we even had dinner up there with the amazing view of the whole city. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
