I had a great stay at this hostel in Hanoi! The location is easy to find and super central—close to anything you might need as a traveler, whether it’s food, sights, or transport. The rooms are spacious with plenty of storage for each person, and I appreciated the shoe racks outside to help keep things tidy. Bathroom is clean. Their food menu is both affordable and varied, which was really convenient. The staff were all very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The dedicated common area wasn’t too busy, with most guests hanging out in the lobby/dining area.

I had a wonderful experience thanks to the front desk staff. Since I was traveling alone, I felt a bit anxious at first, but he made me feel very welcome and safe. It truly made my stay much more comfortable. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved how awesome and friendly the staff are. The rooms were big with tall ceilings and big windows to peer out of. The aircon works great. The accomodation is down an alley which we came back at night feeling very safe. It’s amazing how busy the city is and just down the alley how quiet it was. We hardly heard any vehicles. We are in the Old Quarter but not in the super touristy areas which was great. We liked hanging out with the locals and eating the amazing food. Juan (I definitely spelled his name wrong) sent us links to awesome food places and dishes to eat which we loved. He also booked our bus for us to Sapa and it was a great. Price. Juan is very communicative and responds quickly to our messages. You will not go wrong with this local Homestay. We were trying to book again but they were full and we were sad. We will definitely book here again in the future.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect. The street does not allow cars so it is pretty quiet. The place looks pretty new and the rooms are great (at least the female dorm).

The owner and his family are great people. The place is spacious and very clean. They try to help you as much as possible. The owner even drove me to the grocery store and got a sim card with me and I didn't even suggest it! I am super happy to have had a relaxing and nice stay here. The shower was great too. I recommend staying 2 days if you really want to recharge. There's not that much In the area but still nice restaurants and café to explore. Most people only stay a few hours to catch a flight after. But I stayed 2 days and it felt like a had a gigantic apartment to myself. If an older guy approaches you that's the owner's dad. I wish I knew that beforehand cause he invited me to have a drink. I regret saying no. Hope to come back in the future!

All hostels in Hanoi

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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.
