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. Highly recommended for those who want comfort, convenience, and something different in Hanoi.

It is a brand new hostel that has private rooms and dorm rooms for couples/ females and mix options. Nicely decorated everything is new and clean. They have food such as sandwich, coffee, smoothies, juice. Manager Jonathan is a real gentleman. Him and Johnny can assist you with tours information/organization too. I strongly recommend you stay here. You would not only be pleased but also would have good friends such as Jonathan and Johnny.

    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

    Great location, hostel has only one room with 3 level bunk beds, it is a little difficult to climb to the 3rd level bed. Otherwise good, cheap, clean, right in the middle of old town.
