Hanoi Marvellous Hotel & Spa

We stayed in the Marvellous suite with balcony. The room was more of a junior suite than a suite (one room with nice sitting area vs two separate rooms), and the “balcony” turned out to be a lovely private terrace. We will definitely book again. The breakfast dining room is pretty, like a small restaurant. We enjoyed the included breakfast. Hotel Marvellous doesn’t offer an enormous spread, but you get everything you need like fresh cut fruit, eggs and crepes to order, western options, and Vietnamese foods like pho and dumplings. The front desk was very helpful. Andrew explained Hanoi’s district one when we arrived - how to get around, what to visit, night market hours, and where to buy great coffee (like right across the street). I am so going to miss delicious afternoon Vietnamese coffee when I return home! The front desk also helped us book our transport to Halong Bay as we were having trouble reaching our cruise company. Cons: the air conditioning is comfortable enough but doesn’t get cold if that’s your preference. One small improvement Hotel Marvellous might consider is to move away from little plastic shampoos to refillable pumps. Great staff, nice lobby and room, and reasonable price. Hotel Marvellous is an oasis to return to after battling the noise and bustle of Hanoi. We highly recommend.

The staff were most helpful and attentive even though we stayed for only one night before heading back home. Need help to get some flowers and they directed us to the relevant spots and we got what that we wanted easily after a short walk. The room was very well appointed and fairly large ( family suite with city view) . Breakfast was good and fresh. Thanks to Daniel for the insight on the Vietnamese language and it’s uniqueness.

The first thing that needs mentioning is that the counter staff at Hanoi Marvellous were friendly, always smiling and helpful. They helped me book a transfer to the airport for my family of six and gave good advice on how long it would take to get to the airport, typical traffic situations to watch out for, etc. The two family suites with city view we booked were sufficiently spacious for accommodation around the squeezy Old Quarter area. These rooms were at the front end of the building, thereby offering a large clear glass (double curtained) view of the city below. Best to keep windows close if you don't like the ambient hooting noise characteristic of this part of Hanoi. We enjoyed the breakfast provided at the Marvel Restaurant on the 6th floor. The food options were just nice and of high quality. Not too many varieties of the same food type, so one is not tempted to over eat and also less food wastage. Hotel is also conveniently located, which makes it easy for us to walk out to the good restaurants nearby, gift shops (if you like hand painted pottery, try visiting Tava Handicraft at Hoan Manh Street nearby) and the Vietnam Military History Museum, which we visited on 22 Dec. There were many school children there as it was also the founding day of the Vietnam People's Army. It is an interesting nearby place to visit to get a Vietnamese perspective of the struggles the people endured through the many centuries of war and fight for their independence. I would consider stay

We loved staying at Marvellous Hotel. Stayed in a family room on 8th floor spacious with great views. Room was excellent. Rooms are new with very comfortable beds. Location is fantastic in the old town. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Airport transfer was a fair price and driver excellent in comfortable new vehicle. Our children received a farewell gift from staff. A nice touch. Laundry service was also very reasonable. It goes by weight and all our wet clothes from Halong Bay were whisked away and washed and dried so quickly and weighed when dry which was fair. Breakfast selection excellent. Stay here and your stay in Hanoi will be even better. It's a wonderful city to explore. Enjoy.

Hotel location is Great! Room size is enough big even for 2 adults and 2 small children.
