- Daniel (8/5): -
- Tobias (8/5): - Sehr ruhiges, geräumiges Zimmer in der Altstadt von Hanoi. Aufmerksames und nettes Personal. Hatte einen fensterlosen Raum, der jedoch den Vorteil der Ruhe bot. Angesichts der stark frequentierten Straße durchaus ein Pluspunkt. Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort schlafen.
- Amar (10/5): - I had a really positive experience here the staff were amazing and welcoming. Only downside is theres no elevator. Room was really clean and housekeeping came every day to spruce the room up. Martin and Binh were the 2 staff members who really stood out and went over and above to make sure everything was comfortable...even a simple how are you today was nice to hear every morning. A good hotel and a great location. It doesn't have a lift..but I know that cant be helped due to building structure.
- diane (5/5): -
- Nguyen Thang (10/5): Quá ổn cho giá phòng! - Vị trí trung tâm, nhà hàng , quán cafe rất gần, tiện đi bộ ra phố đường tầu vs chợ đêm, đi về mệt thì có foot massage ở tầng 1, khách lưu trú ở đây được giảm 10-20% giá niêm yết! Phòng tầng cao, không thang máy, nhưng được nhân viên hỗ trợ chuyển hành lý, coi như tập thể dục! Nếu bạn quá béo vs quá 60 tuổi thì có thể yêu cầu cho tầng 1-2!
- Faye Camille (7/5): - Location! Very close to a lot of hidden gems for coffee shops and michelin restaurants. Chaotic but fun in Hanoi :) the owner was really nice and responsive to messages plus he helped us bring our bags to the 4th floor (which was 8 flights high in reality! HAHA) Stains in the blankets :(
Plus we had an early checkout at 5AM, we requested help to move bags downstairs but no one was available so we had to carry our 20kg luggages
- Matthias (5/5): -
- Cyrnel (10/5): Excellent! Hotel staff were accomodating and friendly. Location is good for travellers. - Location and great staff N/A
- Suphattra (10/5): -
- corinne (8/5): Très bien pour une nuit ou plus - Emplacement parfait.
Je suis arrivée à 1h30 du matin : la réception était bien ouverte. J’ai pu avoir ma chambre très rapidement.
Personnel sympathique.
Matelas très confortable.
La chambre donnait sur l’arrière donc très calme, ce dont j’avais besoin. Pas de fenêtre dans la chambre : pour une nuit ça va, pour plusieurs jours ça peut déranger.
- M De Sousa (9/5): Good budget accom in the old town - Great location, really good massages and friendly helpful staff make this an easy budget recommendation. The place itself is what you paid for a budget accom in the middle of the old town, it's comfortable enough with hot water, air con and wifi. The little balcony was surprisingly nice to sit on in the evenings 👌
- Michela (7/5): - Posizione centrale. Stanza in ordine. Nel complesso per il prezzo pagato andava benissimo. La camera non aveva luce naturale, un po datata. Ma ripeto che per il prezzo pagato andava bene. Consigliata per brevi soggiorni.
- Nguyen (10/5): - Phòng sạch, nhân viên tốt bụng, hỗ trợ chuyển hành lý cho tôi, vị trí tốt, nhiều quán ăn vs cafe ngon quanh hotel Quá đông khách!
- Claire (6/5): Très moyen - L’emplacement et la gentillesse du patron Chambre salle, frigo moisi et les fenêtres du balcon ne se ferment pas
- Boudewijn (7/5): Prima accommodatie - Prima accommodatie, werd vriendelijk ontvangen. Kreeg een andere kamer dan op de foto’s, leek mooier dan het was
- Juliette (9/5): - The location was great, the room was big, and the receptionists + the girls from the Spa were really nice and friendly. We felt welcomed.
- Sam (1/5): Scammed us of one extra night. Would have scammed us more if we had not complained. - Good location but that's it. The staff charged me for four nights instead of the three nights that I had booked. I had extended my stay for one more night but they charged me for two rooms! They would have charged me for two rooms for my entire stay if I hadn't complained about it. They cancelled my other nights but adamantly said they could not cancel my first night of stay due to my partner and I checking in late. Understandable if I took away from their room that should've been available from their business. BUT it was their mistake to begin with AND they also had tons of rooms available as evident on their computer screen! (It showed green mark for unoccupied vs red for occupied.) It was quite evident that they just wanted the extra money. I could not go on advocating for myself after such a long flight so I decided to pay for the extra night. Looking back, I know that they would never have given the money back. They were also not accommodating when it came to be wanting some money back for the full gas that I filled on their motorcycle. I did not even use one bar of the fuel but I filled it up all the way not knowing how much the motorcycle would consume in fuel. They lend the motorcycle to you almost completely empty of fuel. Fine it is what it is, I at least wanted a shower on the last day after checking out for the cost of the extra night and the fuel because I would had to catch a train after I came back from a tour but of course they refused. Overall, I wasted one full day of stay and more due to their mistake of booking me two rooms on the first night. (Of course I only ended up using one room). Not only were they not accommodating, the room itself was dirty, Wifi barely functioning, tiny rooms that barely was able to accommodate two adults with two luggage bags. Do not listen to the reviews. Avoid this place at all costs.
- Osman (6/5): -
- Florian (10/5): - Very good room and cheep Nothing
- Hoi Sze (8/5): Not a bad place to stay - The staff are very friendly and willing to help. The accommodation is reasonable and basic if you’re ok with just finding a place with a roof over your head. Even though we got a room without a view which is at the back of the building, I’m glad we did otherwise we would hearing Hanoi traffic constantly in our room. There was a kettle in the room but no cups/ mugs.
Towels were frayed but still usable.
- ดาวราย (7/5): - อยู่ใกล้เมืองเก่าเดินไปเที่ยวได้สะดวก ห้องแคบมาก อยู่กันแค่สองคนยังจะเดินชนกันไปมา ความสะอาดของผ้าปูที่นอน ปลอกหมอนยังไม่ประทับใจเท่าไหร่
- Larissa (7/5): -
- Oana (5/5): Not that great - The hosts were quite kind and helped us book some bus tickets to Sa Pa The worst accommodation of our trip in Vietnam. Yes, it was very cheap but for the same money we stayed much better in other places in Hanoi. We had five different accommodations in the city. The mold on the walls was the worst part.
- Campbell (7/5): -
- Louie (10/5): - Super great, can easily access most places in the old quarter
- Thao (9/5): Recommended. - Convenient location. Supportive host.
- MARITES (8/5): The room is clean and near to the must-see places in Hanoi. - The hotel is near to the places you must visit in Hanoi. The housekeeping lady is very helpful. The room is spacious enough to accomodate the 3 of us. Too bad the hotel has no elevator. We had a hard time carrying luggage to the 3F.
- jack (7/5): -
- Giada (8/5): -
- Miguel Angel (7/5): -
- Andrea (7/5): - Breakfast wasn't included but the location was very good.
The staff were very willing to help us sort out a few things that weren't working when we arrived.
I like that there was a fan to use (as well as aircon) 3 of the lights weren't working when we arrived and only 2 lumpy pillows (the pic showed 4) - but while we were out for dinner they made the effort to fix the 2 bedroom lights.
no window opening to the outside so no outlook.
- Etienne (7/5): - L'emplacement est idéal dans le vieux quartier, la chambre 401 à un balcon qui donne une vue superbe. Aussi le personnel a été ultra gentil et serviable. La chambre à besoin d'un bon rafraîchissement. Peinture, décoration etc.
C'est un peu délabré et c'est dommage car le reste est parfait.
- Antero (10/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): - Great location.
24 hour desk so we could check in when our flight came in at 2am.
Nice spacious rooms and good facilities.
- Lim (10/5): Very friendly and attentive reception staff but the rooms condition are subpar. Good for a short day stay if you are onl - It's situated at a very popular location around the old quarter area, convenient to reach many tourist spots in hanoi. The staffs are really friendly, we were able to check in early at 10am when we arrived from the airport at no additional charges, and very kindly reminded us to come back to the hotel earlier to prep up after we told them that we will be checking out on the same night to catch the sleeper bus to Sapa. They also allowed us to wait at the lobby for the sleeper bus to arrive and helped us carry our luggage to the bus as well. The hostel do not have a lift so we will need to carry the luggage up and down manually (staff will help to carry if they are available). The room itself looks a little run down with broken sockets and fridge in some rooms. Our bathroom shower heads only have a few water strands coming out and it seems faster to use the toilet water hose directly instead, but luckily their hot water is working. Some room locks are not able to close properly as well and the cleaner came in directly with her master key to wash the toilet at the same time while we were still in the room O.O
- Joanna (8/5): - W pokoju było wszystko co potrzebne. Personel pozwolił nam zostawić bagaże po wymeldowaniu, a wieczorem przed odjazdem mogliśmy skorzystać z łazienki. To było bardzo miłe.
- Dimiter Todorov (9/5): - Excellent budget accommodation in Hanoi
- Gitit (9/5): -
- Stéphanie (6/5): - Private room with terrasse. People were Nice There is no common room for meeting other travelers. The room was at the 4th or 5th floor. No lift. Very small bath room.
- Nguyen (10/5): -
- Jean-Luc (8/5): -
- Malgorzata (8/5): -
- marine (6/5): Cheap but not clean 🤢 - Great location and easy to find. The room were not clean at all, we found hair in the bed sheets and the door room was almost breaking in our hands each time.
- Harry (6/5): - Hosts were really lovely.
Location was great.
Room was spacious.
Shower was hot.
Airport transfer was really easy and ready when we got there.
Able to leave our bags after checking out. The door handle to the room kept breaking off.
There was mold in the bathroom and it smelled a bit.
The shower head was broken so that you could only really use the handheld bit.
- Magdalena (4/5): -

- Lutsia (8/5): -
- Irina (10/5): Рекомендую - Все было отлично Нет лифта
- Đăng Khoa (8/5): Aufenthalt war super - Super Zentral, mitten in der Altstadt, mega liebes Personal.
Wir müssten aus persönlichen Gründen eine Nacht früher die Reise beenden und konnten es auf Booking nicht mehr ändern. Das Personal konnte da theoretisch auch nichts machen, da es mit Booking geklärt werden sollte. Jedoch kamen die uns entgegen und haben uns die Hälfte des Geldes für die eine Nacht zurückerstattet. Kein Fahrstuhl
- Arun (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (6/5): Pleasant -
- Zai (10/5): Exceptional - I had a lovely stay at this hostel. The room was very clean and tidied daily by the cleaning staff. Fresh towels and water were provided every day, which was a really nice touch.
There’s even a beauty salon on-site. Perfect for a relaxing spa day, and as a guest, you get a 20% discount! The room had a balcony and a fridge, which made the stay extra convenient.
The staff speak English and are always ready to help with any questions or requests. Their service is great. They greet you warmly every time they see you and check if everything is okay. You really feel looked after here.
Excellent location!
Highly recommend!
Note: The room wasn’t very spacious, but we already knew that before booking.
- Victoria (8/5): Great value hotel - Great location and quiet. Comfortable bed. Cold aircon. Basic but has all you need for a stay in the heart of the Old Quarter. Bottle water provided free daily which was a nice touch. Night receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. Free baggage storage. Little bit worn.
- Samantha (10/5): The hotel we originally booked got cancelled and we happened to find this gem and did not regret choosing it! The staffs - Everything! We were surprised how we can easily locate it and how near it was to pretty much everywhere we want to go! Our room was situated in the third floor 301 (but it was understandable 'coz we all know that most of the hotel and hostels don't have elevators)
- Marcus (8/5): Very good -
- Geoff (8/5): Very good -
- Adelynde (10/5): Great value and convenient location - Great value- super central location right in the hustle and bustle. Awesome having a little balcony to watch the street below, the bathroom was clean/modern and spacious compared to other places we’ve stayed in a similar budget. The beds were surprisingly comfy- with really cozy doonas. Air conditioning worked super well, the staff were lovely and cleaned our room when we were away + left more water and fresh towels. Laundry service was also done super fast.
Cannot thank the owner enough for her honesty- we accidentally left our wallet in the lobby right before getting on our sleeper bus and only realised as we were driving away. She checked all the areas for us and found the wallet!
So lucky as it contained a lot of cash and it would be easy for someone to take it or be dishonest.
Very thankful for that Nothing to dislike- only thing to note is the room isn’t super spacious and is quite narrow but that was no issue for us.
- Lisa (9/5): Superb - We arrived very early after night bus from Sapa and the hotel owner let us have a little sleep on the massage tables while we waited for our room. This place is so central, across from great coffee places and local eats!! Would stay here again! None
- Julian (9/5): Great Value hotel in a famtastic location, and the staff were brilliants, thanks. - Value and location were fantastic, the staff were super nice and very helpful.
- Lawrence (3/5): Pay a few $ more and stay somewhere else - front desk was nice
location is great, walking distance The place is pretty run down, does not look like the photos presented on google and booking.com.
Plug was out of the wall, noisy (doors don't block noise), toilet seat not fixed, shower head not working...
The last straw was when I was pressured and forced to change rooms at my last day so they can accomodate a last minute booking, even if I pre-paid for this room and I told them I already unpacked all my stuff.
Not the best experience so I went to stay in another hotel down the road after
- David (10/5): Second stay and just as good - Second time I've stayed at this Hotel and would recommend it. Great location and value for money and the staff can't do enough to help you and very friendly Having to leave
- James (9/5): Perfect budget stay in the Old Quarter - Great location, lovely staff, very good value. Nothing
- Mariecris (8/5): Good value for money - Good location, just walking distance to many nice cafes and restaurants. The staff were good and helpful. They allowed us to just leave our stuff after we checked out early and I got back the coat which I forgot in our room. The toilet door lock should be fixed.
- Ishita (8/5): Very good -
- Shakira (10/5): Definitely would come back here :) - Loved our stay here, good location, very kind staff Nothing
- Natasha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sanam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anjani (5/5): Good hotel in budget in the centre of olf quarter - The property is on a walking distance to night market and many restaurants. Staff is really helpful. Martin helped us with the details we requested. They do not have a restaurant on property.
- Merilyn (9/5): For a mid-budget stay this is a good option with a very central location - Great location, friendly staff The shower has no curtain, room is a bit small
- Vanessa (8/5): a good choice for something mid-budget. - Clean, good service, nice balcony, good location, rooms are a little small, no elevator
- Chris (6/5): Great location in the old quarter - The hostel is in a great location and the staff are nice and very helpful. They organised laundry, airport taxi and massages which were very good. However, our room was very tired and and situated on the 4th floor of the hostel and as there is no lift it was a lot of stairs to climb. The bed and the pillows are hard but this may be my personal preference.
- Joshua (8/5): Very good -
- Will (9/5): Perfect location and very nice staff, was great value for money. Thank you very much - Great location, quiet, staff were friendly and helpful Shower didn’t have a curtain/door
- Lei (7/5): Good -
- Olivia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Louisa (5/5): Passable - Great location, staff friendly, bed was clean It's not like the photos, the room was super run down, the blinds were tapped to the walls, there was mould on the ceiling. some lights didn't work, one plug only worked. The shower was covered in limescale and there was a part of the skirting board that fell off to reveal a bunch of nails facing up we luckily didn't stand on. Thought it was have a view or balcony but the window looked onto a brick wall. It could be nice and the beds were clean but it needs a refresh and deep clean
- Alexa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (8/5): Overnighter in Hanoi - Nice large room, we had a balcony so it was lovely to watch the hustle and bustle from above. Clean bathroom. Limited storage space. Beds are very firm, my friend really struggled to sleep. For anybody that has physical limitations or health issues, this property doesn't have an elevator and there are a lot of stairs to carry large luggage.
- Verena (9/5): Very nice hostel in Hanoi - Warmly Welcome - despite arrival early in the morning.
Friendly support with bookings and tours.
Nice Balcony Pillows - very hard
- Dtrekcomms (8/5): Good value for money - The location was great Needs more hanging space
- Wayne (5/5): Mediocre - Location was central.
Friendly helpful staff Shower either scolding or cold.
Wouldn't drain but was sorted.
Extractor didn't work but started after 2 days.
No wardrobes to put our clothes in.
Hotel smells of damp.
- Friedrich (6/5): Pleasant -
- Amelie (10/5): Exceptional - Great Location, very friendly!
- Louis (7/5): Good - Good location Hard mattress
Noisy at night
You can hear all your neighbours in the hotel
Noise of water pump I guess that you can hear all night
- Ella (7/5): Good location, Friendly Staff - Really liked the location - less chaotic but within walking distance to the busier areas with cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff were very friendly. There was a weird shutter style window hidden behind a blind in the room that wouldn’t close. This made the room really cold as it was 10 degrees outside at night. I had to put the air con on the heat setting but it still didn’t warm up. This would be something to bare in mind if you’re coming to Hanoi when it’s colder
- Linden (10/5): My favorite place to stay in Hanoi - I always stay here when I'm in Hanoi. The staff are very helpful and kind
The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Price is very reasonable for Old Quarter.
- Charlie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shraddha (7/5): Good -
