This is a lovely place to stay situated in the heart of the old quarter, on a tranquil side street. The owner is extremely hospitable and offers plenty of information on where to dine out, how to find ATMs without interest fees, and even assists with booking affordable transportation to the airport, among other things. I highly recommend staying here!

This capsule hostel is brand-new, modern, and sparkling clean, with cozy capsules that are both private and comfortable. The staff are warm and friendly, always ready to help with anything you need. What makes this place special is not only the design but also its unbeatable location – right in the Old Quarter, just a 2-minute walk to the famous Train Street and the vibrant local food street. It’s more than just a stay – it’s a fun and unique experience, especially if you’re traveling with friends or in a group.

The staff are friendly. The hostel is so neat and tidy. It was one of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in, and I've been traveling for 5 months now. They served a good breakfast included in the stay and they make some amazing cocktails. It was truly a pleasure to stay here. Met a few fellow travelers, they all had great things to say about there stay. You won't find anything better in the area. With bars and food right on the door step. So many choices. From Mexican to Indian food and local venders. It's right in the heart of walking Street with a circleK a barber near by and Train Street in less than a minutes walk. Thank you Rebel Rooster

I spent 9 impressive days at Wanderlust Station hotel but just dormitory sites . At first, I didn’t expect much due to the low number of reviews, but the experience completely changed my mind. Everything was spotlessly clean, hot shower and convenient are nice, especially dorm bed is the largest I ever stayed in, smelled great, and the atmosphere was pleasantly quiet. The staffs mr Kien and ms My Anh and ms Giang were incredibly kind and supportive. Although I had to park my scooter at a nearby market, they even helped by giving me a ride back to the hotel. At just over $5 per night, it’s an amazing value compared to other places. Highly recommended when you have a plan to come to Ha Noi

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Asia! The hostel is really beautiful with great facilities e.g. a hair dryer and a pool to use. The staff are really friendly, they let me check-out late, they stored my luggage for me whilst I did the loop, and they let me change the dates of my booking last minute. The beds are comfortable with a bedside light and storage locker as well as lockers big enough for my 55L bag. Great location. Really enjoyed the free walking tour which helped me meet other travellers.

    Great hostel, great location and staff is available for any questions you could have and speak good English. We booked a room as we were just arriving in Vietnam for a long trip, the room was good, confortable and clean. The rooftop is the place to go if you want to meet some backpackers and take a drink! Definitely recommended
