Guest Reviews

• Nadine (6/5): -
• Nadine (5/5): Okay for tracking through - Convenient location, can book all trips from there No window, noise construction on the floor, not really clean
• netalie (1/5): יחס לא טוב וחדרים לא כמו בתמונות. - לא אהבנו כלום החדר שהזמנו בכלל לא כמו בתמונות, אני בספק אם יש חדרים כאלה בכלל בהוסטל!! הזמנו חדר עם נוף לעיר והיה לי חלון עם קיר מעופש. העובדים דיברו בצורה לא נעימה ואמרו שזה עדיין נקרא נוף לעיר, התנהגו אלינו לא יפה ולכן יצאנו משם באותו רגע. הם לא היו מוכנים להחזיר לנו את הכסף למרות שלא קיבלנו את מה שהזמנו. לא להתקרב!!!!!!!
• Caroline (10/5): Excellent - The breakfast far exceeded my expectations—it was clearly prepared with great care for everyone, and there was a bit of everything. The accommodation is very well located, and the best part is the care and attention from the staff. They are incredibly kind and provide all the necessary support and assistance. I will definitely come back!
• XI (10/5): Best choose - Yeah No
• Jamal (1/5): - Worst hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Bed was dirty, there was stains and hairs all over bedsheets. I was so tired I decided to lay my shirts and sleep for the night. But the next morning i found bedbugs
• Laclavetine (5/5): -
• Ana (7/5): -
• Roman (10/5): -
• Caroline (7/5): - Le personnel très sympathique et arrangeant, qui a accepté de nous changer de chambre, qui nous a bien rendu service à maintes reprises. Emplacement central mais c'est à double tranchant, quartier très bruyant. Beaucoup d'activités proposées. Chambres à l'étage avec vue dégagée. Roof top et petit déjeuner agréables Dans une des chambres dans le bâtiment annexe, énormément d'humidité (moisissures +++), une fenêtre qui donne sur un mir donc pas possible d'aérer. Cheveux dans la douche Nous avons eu une seconde chambre beaucoup plus propre au 8ème étage mais très bruyant la nuit car proche du Rooftop et les clients de l'hôtel parlent très fort pendant longtemps dans le couloir, ce qui nous a soit réveillé soit empêché de dormir. Lessives pas bien faites, linge retrouvé sale. Au rdc et au rooftop chatons enfermés dans des cages, et carpes dans un bassin minuscule, moyen pour le bien-être animal...
• Justine (4/5): - Central location Room was really small and poorly isolated from the noise from the common areas. Facilities were overall disappointing vs pictures
• Jorn (5/5): -
• Chartrand (6/5): It was good. Great location you can’t beat that. - The location was fantastic. And the breakfast was good. The hostel is quite loud, tv didn’t work and the door also didn’t work.
• Marie (5/5): - Bon emplacement, propre. Photos non conformes à la réalité de la chambre (pas de fenêtres). Salle de bain dans la chambre ce qui rend cette dernière très humide (aussi du fait du manque de fenêtres).

• Alyssa (8/5): - The beds were very comfy and staff was very nice
• Lucia (7/5): -
• Jen (8/5): great hostel would recommend for solo travellers wanting to socialise - great location, lovely rooftop bar, breakfast was great buffet selection staff could have been a little more polite on check in
• Mark Ralph (10/5): -
• Reut (5/5): - את האווירה והמיקום המצויין שירותים מאוד מלוכלכים
• Jodie (10/5): -
• Lee (8/5): -
• HITESH SAMJI (8/5): Good for solo - Location So dark room and wc is so small
• Galina (6/5): -
• Harry (8/5): -
• Miles (8/5): -
• Jeannelise (7/5): Pratique mais un peu vieillotte - L'emplacement au cœur de Hanoï, toujours une présence à l'accueil quand je suis passée, matelas très confortable, bon petit déjeuner tous les matins, offre des tours depuis Hanoï si besoin (Baie d'Halong, Sapa, Ha giang...), propre (et ça c'est quand même top), service linge très rapide, gel douche dispo Les prises avaient un faux contact au niveau de mon lit donc pas pratique pour recharger, au centre de Hanoï donc un peu bruyant (à côté d'un bar qui fait la fête), le personnel (même d'accueil) ne parle pas toujours très bien anglais (ok mais si avec l'accent français ce n' est pas simple mais quand même), seulement sèche cheveux en équipement mais pas de cuisine dispo (pour eau chaude par exemple) ou autre (il y a un billard à l'entrée), +5% de fees si on paye en carte (!), pas tellement d'accès aux fenêtres
• BÁCH (10/5): -
• Sara (5/5): -
• wego (10/5): -
• Weaving (10/5): - Everthing best bar n staff if you like to smoke the place for you,best breakfast
• Beatrice Caterina (5/5): -
• Zoe (5/5): - Easy to meet people. It’s exactly what it says on the tin
• Jesse (8/5): Ideal spot for backpackers that enjoy the nightlife - In the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter, close to basically everything Too close to Beer Street, noisy during the night
• Sarah (8/5): - Private room is very spacious and nicely furnished. It's also reasonably quiet despite the location right in old town. Breakfast was very good and the rooftop bar is pretty nice Feels a bit overpriced compared to other hostels in the area
• Serena (8/5): -
• Itallo (4/5): Just don’t. - The only good things about this place is the location and the staff. I’ll keep it short. I’ve been traveling for years and staying in hostels worldwide, so this isn’t a beginner’s reaction. Even though it’s a hostel, I booked a private room because the price was good. The issue is that the room they gave me was in a completely different building, with no elevator, and a nail salon operating on the ground floor. The nail salon doubled as the reception and stayed open to the street even at night, with no one controlling access. My room had mold in every corner. One window couldn’t be locked, and the room had interior windows that allowed anyone outside to see what you were doing inside. Sleeping was impossible because there were no curtains, so the outside lights came straight in. The bed itself was good, but there was dust everywhere on top of the mold. I wouldn’t recommend it.
• Bolloch (5/5): -
• Karina (7/5): - Trés bon emplacement, et literie propre, petit dejeuner trés bien pour le prix qu’on paye. Photos trompeuses concernant les dortoirs
• Miho (9/5): -
• Rafaela (2/5): Ich konmte dort nicht übernachten. Viel zu laut, kalt, schimmlig und überhaupt keine wohlfühlatmosphäre - Die Lage ist zentral. Das Einzelzimmer befindet sich in einem anderen Gebäude. Man muss durch einen Nailsalon laufen, um zu seinem Zimmer zu gelangen. Es gibt keine Fenster sondern nur Fensterläden. Somit kein Tageslicht im Zimmer. Keine Isolierung, es ist eiskalt im Zimmer. Der Lärm draussen ist unerträglich. Im Badezimmer hat es Schimmel und es riecht unangenehm. Auf den Bilder sieht es schön aus, in echt nicht. Konnte nicht dort übernachten, da ich mich sehr unwohl fühlte.
• Thuy (8/5): - 😍 😍
• Bettina (2/5): - Kein Auge in der Nacht zu bekommen, weil das Hostel an der Partystrasse liegt. Sehr laut. Die Wände im Zimmer waren schimmlig. Für junge Leute die feiern wollen okay. Für uns war es nichts. Sind nach einer 1 Nacht wieder ausgezogen.
• Garcia (10/5): - This hostel is honestly one of the best I’ve ever stayed in, no exaggeration. The staff are incredible! Huge shoutout to the reception team: Linda, Thuong, Son, Gabriel, and of course the owner, Sam. They’re always ready to help with literally anything, and they go above and beyond every time. I highly, highly recommend this place.
• Ezechiel (10/5): - Super endroit ! 👌👍👍
• Elise (7/5): - Rapport qualité prix exceptionnel. L'emplacement aussi. Il y a rooftop avec bar et possibilité de commander à manger. Il n'y pas d'endroit "tranquille" où se poser. Évidemment cela dépend de ce que vous voulez + cela dépend de votre chambre mais cela peut être très bruyant en soirée/nuit.
• Sevigny (8/5): - Rapport qualité prix excellent. Le petit déjeuner inclus valait à lui seul le prix de la location.
• Narela (10/5): -
• NICHOLAS (1/5): -
• YUERAN (2/5): Not worth to try - Good location The property was very old, and most of facilities were quite dated and dirty
• Federico (6/5): -
• Анастасия (9/5): - Классное расположение! Приветливый персонал, вкусный завтрак!
• Jamie (7/5): - Location to shops and restaurants I like To noisy from the clubs
• William (8/5): - The staff were amasing and super helpfull The section i stayed in didnt have an evaluator, carrying lugguage up stairs
• Manpreet (10/5): -
• Sanne (3/5): - De privé kamer was heel duur. De badkamer was erg vies en er kwam veel licht/geluid in de kamer.
• Lauren (8/5): - The hostel was very good and had a breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, the room was very cold and there was only a sheet, no proper blanket
• Anh Ngoc7 (10/5): -
• Michael Renz (9/5): I’ll be back again soon. - Rooms are always cleaned as well as the toilet. Very happy with the staff as they are very helpful. Kudos to the front desk run by Shaira as they were fast to action an issue about some very noisy roommates. Breakfast, as always, is divine. It’s my third time but definitely wont be the last!
• Danielle (7/5): -
• Long (10/5): -
• Danielle (7/5): -
• Tejas (6/5): Clean beds and bathrooms, but the inattentive staff and overall experience overshadowed it - Good location. Clean rooms. Clean bathrooms The staff often seemed distracted, and the atmosphere was dominated by loud British and Australian guests. Only the first eight floors are served by an elevator, so reaching the breakfast area and rooftop bar requires climbing a narrow, two-story staircase that feels claustrophobic. Late at night, my friend tried to step out onto the bar area for a breath of fresh air, but the staff blocked him and spoke curtly, even though there was still a table full of people outside. I’ve come to believe it was probably after closing, but they could have been more hospitable. For my own peace of mind, I’m assuming those remaining guests were volunteers and that the staff’s behavior wasn’t racially motivated.
• Emre (7/5): - Top locatie. Leuke activiteiten die werden georganiseerd door het hostel. De badkamer was aan onderhoud toe.
• Riley (10/5): -
• Wassim (5/5): -
• Ishan (10/5): -
• Gavin (4/5): Don't bother - Location is good for beer street Arrived 9.30am, had tried to contact them about early check-in but got no reply. Was told check-in was at 2 but when I offered to pay extra my room was soon ready. However it was not in the hostel like previous years, it was in a nail salon next door & was a dirty room with no window. Basically for the money you could get something alot better in the area.
• Anh Ngoc7 (10/5): -
• Carlos (8/5): -
• Charlie (10/5): Perfect - Was an an amazing stay , amazing rooftop bar , can book the ha giang loop through the hostel and all of it is done for you , will definitely stay again Nothing , everything was perfect
• Bailey (10/5): Exceptional -
• William (8/5): Very good -
• Will (10/5): Good a close to everywhere - Very close to the centre and beers street 😀 Could do with better bedsheets
• Joshua (7/5): Good -
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mirjam (7/5): Good -
• Abdelrahman (1/5): Bad - I had an unfortunate experience at this hostel. On my last day of staying with them, I traveled for the whole day and came back at 11 pm to find out that some of my personal belongings were missing, including my reading glasses, sunglasses, towel, and food items. I reported this to reception, and they told me the cleaning staff had mistakenly cleaned my bed earlier than scheduled and may have taken my items. Unfortunately, nothing was recovered. Additionally, the hostel has a strict fine of 2 million VND for eating or drinking in the room, which wasn’t clearly explained beforehand. A 100k VND deposit is also required for the room key. While the location is good, I found the overall management and handling of the situation disappointing. I hope they improve communication and care regarding guests’ belongings.
• Jesper-frederic (8/5): Nice party hostel with great breakfast. Too many Brits. - It's good value because the breakfast buffet is amazing. Sharing the room with annoyingly inconsiderate brats
• Marielle (8/5): At the heart of th party! - Location and rooftop! Lack of A/C in the lobby. Not soundproof enough.
• Matteo (3/5): Good location, but otherwise a very clear skip. - Good, central location and the elevator is quite efficient and pleasant to have. Staff is quite nice Cushion is hard as a rock, the beds are nailed into position in an absolutely horrendous position. Anything smaller than a full sized blanket will fall down the side if you don’t watch out, and if anyone decides to sleep with light in the bunk under you, prepare to sacrifice your blanket to cover the sides up or sleep with what is basically a fully lit bunk. They don’t even offer free towels by default which is crazy for a hostel. The lockers are in a terrible spot outside of the room, meaning most people just leave all their stuff out in front of the bunks, making the path you can walk down very narrow. Finally, I wasn’t sure whether to mention this but checking into my next hostel I found a singular bed bug in my previously used towel. I’m hoping this was a lone hitchhiker that fell off a fellow traveller or so, but I really worry right now that there may have been an infestation I did not know about.
• Madison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nidhi (2/5): Very poor - Being a solo female traveler, I booked my stay well in advance. Reached at 1:30 am for check in and They said the staff didn’t see my booking go through the system and there are no vacant rooms anymore. Ended up staying on streets for the entire night as it was peak season
• Manuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anne (3/5): Poor - We booked two deluxe rooms but one room were placed in a separate building and looking nothing like the pictures. It was very old, the window glass was broken, so it was filled with mosquitoes, and you could hear really loud music from the street. When trying to solve the issue, the staff couldn’t provide an immediate solution. Finally, after a long time, they were able to contact a manager, who initially told us that both rooms had the same name and that we should have emailed them prior to arrival if we wanted the room shown in the pictures. When I book a room, I assume it's the one in the pictures and that I don’t have to email the hotel to request it. After going back and forth for over an hour, they agreed to refund only 50% of the price for 1 room for 1 night even though we had 2 nights. We had to find another hotel because the room was in such poor condition. They only wanted to refund 50% for the one room/1 night, even though we didn’t stay there, and they also told us we could only receive the refund the next day, which would have meant spending more time going back and forth. Eventually, after more discussion, they agreed to issue the refund immediately. The lady we spoke with was very kind though, I just believe the hotel has very strict policies, which makes it difficult to handle complaints. They should list the two rooms as different categories on booking platforms. In the other room we received, which was the correct one, the music from Beer Street was very loud until 5 a.m. The hostel, of course, can't control that (they stop their own music around midnight), but travelers should be aware.
• Mishra (7/5): Good -
• Uroš (8/5): Very good -
• Heather (9/5): I stayed for 2 nights at the start of a trip to Vietnam. Great hostel, staff were really helpful witb booking tours. Roo - Great location, comfy beds, clean, amazing breakfast and good bar on the roof to chillout.
• Emily (9/5): Superb - Premium location, it is close to everything you need! We actually stayed here in a private room, which was great after travelling from Canada (40hrs of travel), we then stayed here again in a dorm room style. We obviously like the private room better, dorm was to be expected. The rooftop bar was great - lots of drink specials and could pre drink before going to beer street. Staff was absolutely phenomenal for helping us plan our trip making everything very convenient. I would come back here Cleanliness in the dorms - however this is kind of to be expected.
