We were wowed by the service provided by the staff. First Do Thu Ha provided excellent service, informing us of the upgraded room to the club lounge. It was then followed by the excellent service provided by the staff at club lounge floor. A special shout out to Vu who took the trouble to recommend and write down the dishes we should have at the local Bia Hoi place. Not forgetting the excellent and comprehensive services provided by Liam at the Le Bieilieu restaurant . Staying at the Metropole was the best experience at Hanoi, all thanks to the service provided but the staff.
