Guest Reviews
- David (10/5): Bien situado en Old Quarter, mejor personal - Excelente servicio Nada
- Anna (10/5): The best place to stay in Hanoi, everything a hostel should be - The best hostel in Hanoi, I will always book to stay here- perfect location in the Old Quarter, yet feels like a quiet oasis. Everything you need, with a great communal space to work during the day, a good value restaurant and cafe on site, and free beer and games in the evenings to meet people and make friends. There were always plenty of people on reception to help, and the housekeeping team worked non-stop keeping everywhere spotless. The only downside was that the shower in the girls dorm would flood the bathroom floor, despite a towel being left there to try and block it.

הצוות היה מדהים עזרנו לנו בכל מה שרצינו
קרוב לכספומט
יש אווירה צעירה וטובה
קבלה 24 שעות
מציעים טיולים מאורגנים ואנחנו לקחנו איתם וזה היה פצצה
דואגים לכל דבר קטן ובקשר רציף בווצאפ .
אפשר לסגור דרכם סליפר לסאפה
חדר טוב והרגשנו בביטחון להשאיר את הדברים שלנו .
מדברים אנגלית בצורה טובה
יש מסעדה בתוך ההוסטל שזאת אופציה טובה לאנשים שיש להם קצת קושי באוכל
מיקום מרכזי מאוד 3 דק הליכה לכל מקום
יש מזגן !!! אהבנו הכל .
אנחנו בחרנו שלא ינקו לנו את החדר אבל הם מציעים לך שירותי ניקוי . פשוט צריך לבקש יום לפני
- Mohit (8/5): Worth the price for sure and specially their pub visiting is the best - Location and services Less sharing washrooms

- Raya (9/5): - The location and facilities. Breakfast was delicious. The door was a bit loud. Also the water filter could be more accessible. It was located in the bar and they closed the door after, I think, 10 PM.

- Diana (9/5): - Awesome buffet breaks fast included in the price.
Try to get the rooms with less people so your bathroom is inside and clean.
The beds were confortable and with a lot of space to put your luggage

- Dolagy Bahaa Reda (8/5): -
- Yu (9/5): - 前台工作人员十分热情的帮助我,我住的房间也很干净卫生 就是附近晚上有点吵,可能是旁边是夜市的原因
- RuIlep (8/5): - Staff was helpful, breakfast was amazing. Location was ideal to get things done as it was in the middle of everything. Can hear loud noise as it was in the busy area of the city.
- Ramiro (10/5): - Very easy to meet people Nothing
- Sugandha (9/5): Comfortable, affordable and easy commute - The property is located at a central location surrounded by cafés, shops, etc. so you can easily walk. I took a private room and got an upgrade at no cost. The room is nice and clean, washroom is good. They give bottled water also. Location is the plus point. The best part is it offers affordable private room in the hostel. I didn’t want the common room so I opted for private room The staff wasn’t that friendly. I had an early morning tour and requested to pack the breakfast and they took no effort to help me.

- Artur (8/5): Dobra lokalizacja - Lokalizacja Check in dokładnie o 14-tej. Ani minuty wcześniej
- Hannah (5/5): -
- Anna (9/5): - Must be an old hotel building. Highest floor has low celling Height. Outdated bathrooms and you can hear everything ”open Doors”. Old bunkbeds but nice anyways. The lockers has alarms annoying! Free beer and free breakfast. Towel for 100 000WND. Nice social areas. Bubblepool and bar with drinks and food. Alot of stairs but also elevator! Just nice and social and next to beer street? Backpacks and suitcases everywhere in reception( Loop packing maybe) not so nice breakfast. Just alot of tables and chairs no sofas etc. Felt small for how many that stayed there. Alot of party!
- Andreas (9/5): Busy hostel with great and friendly service - Room had a great view and was space. Breakfast was really good, the staff was helpful and professional. Free water/tea during the day

- Daniele (7/5): -
- Marcel (8/5): -
- Rani (7/5): - Het is een leuk hostel en ze hebben genoeg activiteiten om mensen te ontmoeten. Ik heb een aantal nachten op een kamer met een badkamer geslapen, dat was top. Maar ook de algemene badkamers zijn goed en worden schoon gehouden. Ook via hen een Ha Giang Loop geboekt, dat was goed geregeld!
- Nimmi (9/5): - The vibe and the location. It felt like a home that I keep coming back to throughout my 2 week trip in Vietnam. 24-hour open reception also helped a lot when I had really odd travel timings. The bathroom had all facilities, even a hair dryer and it was nothing less than what I get in a hotel room but at a cheaper price for one person. No such thing.
- shubham (10/5): - just freaking awsome , washroom were clean and the beds also
it was fully books as wveryone loves this place budget friendly
the breakfast for us was awsome you must visit there if u get the stay u shall stay there .

- Padmanaban (10/5): - Yes it’s very good property in excellent location and nice breakfast About the AC it’s not very chill on time I was visited
- Veli-Matti (7/5): -
- Judith (9/5): -
- Noah (9/5): - Beds are really comfortable, breakfast has some nice options, free beer hour in the evening, pub crawls and other events every night
They offer laundry service, filtered water refills and free towels (100K deposit). I've heard from other guests that the reception is really helpful with planning trips and making bookings
The hostel is located right in the Old Quarter, in a walkable distance from most sights. Just be aware that most hostels are located there and Beer Street is like 2 corners away. Amazing if you like this vibe, not so much if you prefer a calmer, less overcrowded setting The luggage storage room isn't big enough for all the bags so they just pile up in the entrance. They also didn't check anything when I took my luggage with me, so although nothing was stolen, this did not feel very safe
Some minor things, bathroom lacks hooks for towel while brushing teeth and gets really stuffy, it's like a sauna in there (4th floor)
Opening the locker with the keycard is quite loud, I'd actually just prefer using a normal lock because you don't make as much noise
- claudia (7/5): - Was very central A lot of really young people, students doing their gap year. If you are +22 try to avoid that hostel.

- Beth (10/5): Really enjoyed staying at buffalo hostel and I would recommend this place to all travellers :) - I loved the private rooms, the breakfast and the atmosphere:) The storage cupboard for leaving your bag was quite small so everyone left them all over the hotel lobby.
- Mart (10/5): -
- Wouter (10/5): - Fijne plek midden in het oude deel van Hanoi. Mijn kamer was basic maar had alles wat ik nodig had. Beneden in de recreatieruimte is het levendig en gezellig.
