Minerva Church Hotel

The Minerva Church Hotel is a delightful haven nestled in the heart of Hanoi, offering a perfect base for exploring the city's rich history and vibrant culture. Its prime location is a standout feature, just a short stroll from iconic landmarks such as Hoàn Kiếm Lake and St. Joseph's Cathedral, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a cosy retreat after a busy day exploring the bustling streets of Hanoi. Everything is well-maintained, and the attention to cleanliness adds to the overall comfort of the stay. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its exceptional staff. You are greeted cheerfully from the moment you arrive, and this warm hospitality continues throughout your stay. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Breakfast offers a variety of dishes to suit different tastes, providing a fresh and flavourful start to the day that leaves you satisfied and ready to explore.

The room was as pretty as the photos shown. It was spacious and comfortable, the bedroom was separated with the living room. The bathroom was spacious too. The room is located at the top floor (8/F) of the building. Elevator can only reach 7/F. Guests have to walk up and down one floor, but on the way can go to the balcony for the city lookout, looking at the beautiful Cathedral, very nice. The staff were so good to move up our luggage to our room. Plenty of sunshine in the whole room. The TV in the bedroom was bigger than many other hotel. There was another TV in the living room. Air-conditioners worked well. Lightings were sufficient in every corner of the room. A small balcony was attached in the living room, as it’s very hot during the period we visited. We seldom use it. May be it is nice to sit there during winter season. The Catholic Cathedral St Joseph is nearby, it’s peaceful to hear the bell rings. A very beautiful church, must visit. All staff are excellent, very caring and good manners. The Indian café at the G/F serves daily breakfast, besides the choices on the bench, guests were invited to pick a main course from the menu. I like their Vietnam Chicken Poh offered. 30% off for hotel guests to use their massage services. But you better make booking in advance to avoid waiting for the therapist. There has a small convenient store near the Cathedral (i.e. LHS of the hotel), there has a bigger convenient store just turn the corner of the street (i.e. RHS of the hotel), guests can find varieties of fresh fruits there. The hotel provides laundry services at a reasonable cost, bring to the front desk in the morning before going out, then the staff will send to your room in the evening.

"A Truly Exceptional Stay!" From the moment we arrived at Minerva Hotel, it was clear that this was going to be a memorable experience. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the staff greeted us with a warm welcome, making us feel instantly at home. The room was nothing short of spectacular. It was spacious, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom felt like a mini spa with high-end amenities and a rain shower. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a welcome gift. The hotel's location couldn't have been better—just steps away from top attractions, yet tucked in a quiet area so we could enjoy some peace and relaxation when we returned. The on-site dining options were top-notch, with delicious food and excellent service. We especially loved the breakfast buffet, which had a wide variety of options, from fresh fruit to made-to-order dishes. What really stood out was the exceptional service throughout our stay. Every staff member, shout out to RORY, LISA, SUNNY and THOMAS, from the concierge to the housekeeping team, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They were always friendly, attentive, and eager to assist with any request, making us feel truly valued. In short, Minerva Hotel exceeded all of our expectations. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and exceptional service. We can’t wait to return!

This is an exceptionally well-presented property, in a very central location close to the cathedral and Hoan Kiem lake. The room was clean and relatively newly fitted out, with all expected 4-star amenity… and the bathroom has a bath too, which is becoming a rarity now! This property is a genuine top-notch 4-star, compared to others I’ve experienced in Hanoi (which claim ridiculously high rack-rates and equally high supposed discounts) which are tired, rundown and should not be so rated. The breakfast was the best I’ve experienced in Vietnam, with eggs cooked to order and a quality range of western and local accompaniment’s, including handmade juices. The staff are absolutely focused on providing an excellent guest experience, to be commended.

I picked this hotel more-or-less at random. I needed somewhere in that location (near the lake but not in the pedestrianised area) with free wifi. I really didn't look closely. I was extremely surprised and pleased to find the glittering mirrored foyer when I arrived! My room was an ideal place to chill out after some hard weeks. Everything I needed (including bookings for trips outside Hanoi) was handled with great care and attention by the friendly and highly competent staff. I thoroughly recommend this place (Oh, and the food is excellent too, and breakfast is served with sweet little features!).
