I stayed at Meritel Hanoi for 2 nights, which opened 2 months ago. I made a reservation because it was an opening event and I could make a reservation at an unbelievably low price, and the facilities looked good, and the location was relatively good. I was worried because there weren't many reviews, but I chose it because I thought it would be clean since it was newly opened, and it was a place that was so satisfying that it exceeded my expectations. In particular, the kindness and service of the staff were so excellent and wonderful that I didn't know where to put myself. Thanks to that, my first impression of Vietnam was so good. I arrived before check-in time due to an early flight and was planning to leave my luggage, but thanks to the kindness of the staff, I was able to check in early, and I even received a 2nd level room upgrade (although it was only for one day because the next day was full). Some staff members could speak Korean, and most of them spoke English well, so there was no major problem in communication! The swimming pool was well-maintained, and as expected, the staff members who managed the pool were so kind! The water temperature was just right, so it was nice~ In addition, the breakfast was clean and neat, and on the day of check-out, the staff helped me with a free late check-out, so I was able to check out with about an hour to spare. I would 20000% visit again next time I go to Hanoi! A place I highly recommend to many people. #Hanoi #HanoiTravel #HanoiHotel #MeritelHanoi #meritelhanoi

Possibly one of the best places to stay at Hanoi. The service and the hotel in general was possibly one of the best. Hanh was very helpful helping us show the street and taking care of our needs quickly. He was able to give us some tips for travel and was very gentle and kind as well. He has a very charming personality. Daisy the travel concerge helped us plan our travel itinerary and also showed us great places to eat and explore during the stay in Meritel. She is very good at communication and is genuinely helpful. I would be very happy to come back to Meritel for a stay again.
