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.

I had a great experience at Hanoi Wanderlust Hostel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the common area felt cozy. It’s located right in the center, perfect for exploring the Old Quarter on foot. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely worth coming back!

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!

    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 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.
