The rooms are a tad dusty. There are old curtains and carpets in the room, and everywhere you go, you see dust particles floating around you. Housekeeping didn't really wipe down the surfaces of tables, etc the week we were there, and by the time we left there was a considerable layer of dust on the dressing table and tv cabinet. You can hear sounds from the street pretty clearly throughout the night (honking, beeping, etc) and lots of heavy furniture shifting in the middle of the night (for some reason) - but that didn't really bother us as we all sleep like logs, but if you're sensitive to noise it may not be for you. There are also occasional mosquitoes around the lobby, lift, and inside our room, so the first few days I sustained a considerable amount of bites (over 10 of them). Finally caught two mosquitoes and killed them myself in the room so it was OK after that. This does not affect the fact that the hotel is still great, but if you're afraid of mosquitoes then do get them to perhaps spray the room or something before you go in.

Location is superb. It's a 5 min walk to Starbucks, St Joseph's Cathedral, lots of little shops and eats. It's also a 15 min walk to the higher end areas with LV, Burberry, etc. It's a 5 min walk to the beautiful lake, restaurants, etc. The scenery around the lake is just gorgeous. We stayed for 7 nights, and walked there nearly every day. Staff service is excellent. They're patient, friendly and very accomodating. Breakfast is really yummy with lots of food options (for a boutique hotel, they really have a LOT of food choices). In-house spa service was great. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, and the therapists fantastic.

There was live music nearby one night which was quite loud in our room

The staff were very friendly and helpful! Our room was nice and clean and the breakfast buffet was delicious with lots of options available. We found the location was great, close to the lake and walking distance to most things. The massages at the spa were also great.

Excellent hospitality from the team at Solaria! Staff and management were incredibly warm, welcoming and attentive. The team was very helpful at organizing reliable tours and transfers. Rooms are comfortable and spacious and the hotel is perfectly located next to the old quarter for convenience. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide spread of variety! Great stay for sure!!

The walls are thin and sometimes I can hear the guest close their doors. Also the door in the bathroom is glass so in the morning it let light in, at night it's not completely dark.

Great breakfast! So many choices, I recommend to include breakfast. Many different choices and also a la carte. They also surprised my friend with a birthday dessert.

Nothing that I didn’t like.

While the rooms were small, the staff friendliness and the location more than compensate it. The breakfast spread was great

Some noise from the street. We were on the 7th floor and there was no double glazing on windows. Didn’t really impact our stay.

Everything. The beautiful staff. The wonderful spa and rooftop bar. The amazing location

As soon as we arrived at Solaria we were impressed, we were greeted with a refreshing drink and welcome muffins which were cute. The staff were very welcoming and informative about Hanoi and the hotel. The room was perfect for 2 people and we stayed on the 8th floor. Again this was perfect as the restaurant and rooftop bar was just the next floor. We ate at the restaurant and the food and service was amazing. Again, staff couldn’t do enough for us. The roof top bar was my absolute favourite and the music was chilled, we chilled here every night to relax from the hustle and bustle from the streets. I would 100% recommend anyone staying here if you are visiting Hanoi.

The room was spacious and clean. But the unique selling point of this hotel is its receptions team. They went above and beyond what we could’ve imagined and what we’re used to and they truly made our stay the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. BOOK THIS HOTEL and have them arrange tours for you, trust me - you won’t be sorry!!!! BONUS INFO: the location of this hotel is ideal. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone going to Hanoi.

Lovely boutique hotel located centrally to the best of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Incredibly attentive staff that genuinely cares about your experience. Excellent concierge services and great breakfast. This was our second visit to Solaria and it definitely will not be our last. They make everyone feel as if they are the most important guest.

It is only one block away from the lake where there are lots of restaurantss and many cultural things going on around the lake. They close a number of streets down in the weekends at night so children can also walk around and play. We will always stay at this hotel when we are in Hanoi

Young staff in the hotel all speak good English. They are eager to help.

The staff made us feel like royalty, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We're incredibly grateful for their hospitality! The location is superb, right in the heart of the city with plenty of restaurants nearby.

The room very dull and dark due to having only one window approximately one foot away from a brick wall which created no natural light in the room .

Nice hotel very professional staff and friendly

Amazing hotel! Richie and Henry made our stay! Clean and spacious rooms, great breakfast in a superb location right near the lake. Recommend staying on the 7th floor instead of the 8th floor to avoid hearing footsteps from the restaurant.

Maybe one point. They can make the rooms a bit more subtle. It felt like there are too much furniture in the room. Even though it is a really nice hotel it was the most expensive one we had in Vietnam.

The location is perfect. Really close to the district 1 but not very loud, so you can get a nice sleep after a long day. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They always smile and have a small talk with you and ask about your day your plans. Breakfast was satisfactory.

Rooms were good. The staff were amazing!! And the breakfast was great.

The only complaint I have and it's a very small thing is that It's an older building, so there was no AC in the hallways/elevators.

The staff was amazing. We were regularly greeted by name as if we were regulars. Everyone seemed to bend over backward to welcome us into their facility and make the stay fantastic.
