Book here if you want a guests-only pool with clear hours. It sits at the top of the hotel, outside the fitness center, and is open from 7:00 AM until 8:00 PM each day, towels included.
The pool
Meritel's pool sits on the hotel's highest floor in Hoan Kiem, right outside the fitness center. Views are panoramic sky views over the Old Quarter. It closes at 8:00 PM, so night swims are out.
Our take
Meritel has the clearest schedule of the guests-only pools on our list: open every day from 7:00 AM until 8:00 PM, with towels included. Anatole, the other guests-only pool in Hoan Kiem, publishes no hours.
The floor number isn't published, and the hotel lists no day pass. If you aren't staying, this pool is closed to you. Heating isn't published either, and Hanoi's average highs fall to 21.3°C in December and 20.2°C in January.
Good to know
- Open every day, 7:00 AM until 8:00 PM

Tips
- Swim before 8:00 PM; the pool and fitness center share the same daily hours.
- Plan the trip for March to May, the best three months to swim in Hanoi.
Before you go. Check with the hotel on heating if you travel between December and February, when average highs are 21.3°C in December and 20.2°C in January.
