Hằng Thường Hostel - Motorbikes And Tour

The room was nice, clean and functional. I got here from Hanoi with the night bus at around 3 am. It was no problem checking in in the middle of the night. Hang was just a very lovely person who was so keen on helping me plan the Ha Giang Loop. She rented me a bike for a very good price and had many good recommendations for the trip. I could store my luggage during the trip with her, without an extra fee. When I got back her husband recommended me a massage studio where I got one of the best massages I had in Vietnam for a very, very good price. Hang also booked me a ticket for the ride back- which was cheaper then the ticket I booked through my hotel when I came here. I feel very lucky to have met such a wonderful person! Thank you very much!

- The Wi-Fi worked fine - They were nice enough to let me leave my small suitcase there while I went on my Ha Giang Loop trip - Breakfast was simple (eggs, some bread, and slices of tomato and cucumber). It was waiting for me on the table before I went down.

- The bathroom drainage (the sink pipe came out of the wall near the toilet and released water onto the floor near a drain, but the drain didn't seem to flow well. - Location isn't the best (although not terrible). - Booking.com photos showed travelers there eating dinner, so I assumed that they serve dinner here, but I found out that they don't. I was told I can go look for food when I asked.

The family running it was lovely and checkin was super smooth and easy. They checked me in at close to midnight cos I arrived late from Hanoi. The room was comfortable enough and fairly spacious. The balcony overlooked a beautiful mountain. The best thing is that this hotel is a little bit of distance away from the main street - it's close but won't be anywhere near as noisy so you can get a comfortable and relaxing stay. I decided to book this place because I didn't want to stay at the hostel from which my Ha Giang loop tour was departing. It was a good decision but I recognise it may not be affordable for everyone.

The water pressure was pretty weak and the bathroom quite small (but this seems to be a common thing in affordable accommodation around Vietnam)

Great and chilled out place to stay in preparation of Ha Giang loop. Comfortable and cheap accommodation, bikes were in good condition and got us home. Very friendly and welcoming family. Would definitely recommend over the more commercial locations. Good luck on the loop and be safe.

Beware the police checkpoints, mandatory 1,500,000 vnd fine if they get you. There is a small dirt road you can take to avoid their main checkpoint. The staff may know how to avoid it.
