Guest Reviews
- Chad (10/5): - Linh was very nice to me. She helped with lots of food recommendations and book Ninh Binh trip! The accommodations are great, would recommend. I even extended my stay! Location is great.
- Filipa (10/5): - Great stay! The location is very convenient, the hostel was clean, and Linh was amazing she helped me book my tours and was super friendly. Highly recommend!
- Noritaka (8/5): - ５階までエレベーターがないのが残念
- Joseph (10/5): Great hotel, great location, great staff - Luxury backpacker hotel was a great place for me and my girlfriend to stay. The host Linh was very helpful and kind, she upgraded our room for free and even helped us book a discounted tour for the Ha Giang loop. She gave us great recommendations for things to do on different days and meals to try. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!
- Simon (10/5): Solo travel trip - It was a nice stay. And the manger Linh was especially nice, and provided great service
- Amy (10/5): - Super convenient and near everything.
- Alex (10/5): - I booked a private room and honestly for the price it was great! The location is PERFECT. The staff are unbelievably lovely and helpful (I booked the Ha Long Bay cruise through them). Would definitely recommend.
- Øyvind (10/5): Perfect stay - Linh from reception desks was very nice to me!!! Comfy beds and central location. I highly recommend!!!
- Anjelika (10/5): - My time in Hanoi was facilitated with joy, comfort and ease by staying with Luxury Backpackers. Upon arrival, I was welcomed warmly and provided options of excursions with honest advice about the most popular and the one with the best value for money. I was recommended delicious local cuisine. My room was clean (and cleaned daily) and equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect as I was a walkable distance to many Hanoi hot spots. The guiding light to my enjoyable time in Hanoi at Luxury Backpackers was Linh. From first meeting, she was friendly, genuine, and joyful presence that I could trust. This is needed and so refreshing as a solo traveler. I was able to leave Hanoi having a fabulous time and a new found friend. Get the best value for this place! Book it!
- CLAUDIA (2/5): AUCUNE FENÊTRE - AUCUNE FENÊTRE dans ma chambre et ce n'était indiqué à nul part dans le descriptif contrairement à d'autres hôtels qui le disent. Aucune ouverture de la part du personnel pour essayer de trouver un arrangement. Je ne retournerai pas dans cet hôtel et je ne le recommande pas non plus.
- Philipp (10/5): - Großes Kompliment and Linh, sie und alle im Hostel waren super freundlich und extrem hilfreich. Bett ist bequem, Preis-Leistungs verhältnis auch ausgezeichnet! Einzig die Duschen sind super eklig.
- Daniel (8/5): - It was in a great area. The place was friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Aircon didnt work - We were freezing the whole night
- Addison (10/5): - Very nice, Linh the receptionist always puts a smile on my face.
- William (8/5): - Good
- Luke (10/5): - Linh was very helpful at the desk and helped me find transport to my next stop. Good location and comfortable beds.
- Maile (10/5): - Linh was the best! So helpful and friendly! This hostel is great for making new friends. It was close to everything and helped me with booking trips and booking night busses. Highly recommend this hostel!!
- SUZU (10/5): - People works in there is so so so kind even my English is not well! Thank you everyone! Com on!
- Micaela (6/5): - Overall, it was an okay experience. But we left the apartment with the AC turn on and when we came back it was turn off, when we said that we didn't want cleaning service that day. Also we book a bus with them to halong and we left more than one hour after the stablished hour, so I won't recommend booking additional services with them if you are in a rush.
- Man Tsun Jess (10/5): Pleassant Stay - It's a pleasant stay. I was there for 3 nights. The staff were able to provide timely support and assistance. They were really helpful and friendly. The location is quite near to the old town and the lake. The room was in general clean. There's little room for improvement in the cleanliness of the bathrooms, but just a little. There's slight odour.
- Amelia (10/5): - Enjoy
- ChengYu (8/5): 能住，不推 - 不算乾淨的青旅，意思是看的出來很久沒有大清潔了～ 電扇都灰塵。
- WAN HEE (8/5): - The first stay in hostel in my life. Better than I thought.
- ?? (10/5): - I love Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh 1 day trip from Linh . Highly recommended this hostel because Linh stay here . Good location and clean room 👌
- HYOYOUNG (10/5): - 24시간 내내 안내 직원이 있었고 깨끗하고 지내기 편리했습니다
- Ian (6/5): - Bathrooms weren't very clean, but staff was friendly and the area was great for exploring the Old Quarter
- Angela (8/5): - This was a good place to stay. They did a good job of communicating with me via the app and arranged for a driver to meet me at the airport. A staff member helpfully carried my bag for me up to the 5th floor. The room was as advertised, comfortable & clean. The options for eating near by were overwhelming and sights were walkable. They were quick to offer any help in booking travel services & stored my bag for a bit after check out.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Linh이 매우 친절하게 안내해주었습니다. 숙박시설이 매우 좋아요!
- patrick (6/5): - L’hôtel est bien situé et tranquille. Le personnel ne parle pas anglais.
- Joanna (10/5): - The staff was very helpful, arranging my tours, bus tickets, laundry and helping me extend my stay. Beds were comfortable with a nice privacy curtain, hooks, fans, cubbies which made the place feel like home for the days I spent there.
- RIKU (10/5): - Very Nice!!! Thanks you very much!!!!
- Finn (10/5): - Nice Stay, easy reachable, clean room!
- Selamawit T. (10/5): Affordable hotel in the old town - Good hotel right in the middle of the old town. Very helpful staff who facilitate your stay. I had a convenient stay there.
- Max (10/5): Fantastic stay - I had a great stay at Luxury Backpackers, Linh and the rest of the staff are so kind and helpful with anything you need. The facilities and beds are great, and it is in a great central location. I would highly reccomend.
- Scott (10/5): - In my 3 month asia traveling, this was my favorite hostel. Very private once you are in your bunk and also right in the middle of the city. I wish I was staying longer!
- Kittikun (10/5): - Just a few steps away from Old Quarter where restaurants and shops are available all day & night. The hotel/hostel itself is decent - could improve a bit on a few things but already good at a level of standard. Just one thing, as a person who doesn't smoke nor fancies being around smoke-filled environments, this is what they need to come up with strategies to bring it down as other guests smoke everywhere, sometime even in the bathroom, and there was no protocol to eradicate this issue. The bed is so comfy. I loved the fact that there were bedside space and on-the-wall hookers for personal stuff. The mini fan also worked and I was glad it was there because it could het warmer or hotter and when the AC couldn't reach me, I still had my mini fan to keep me cool. Great!
- kasi (8/5): - 男女兼用の部屋はロッカーキーもあり安心で快適でした。日本人なのでシャワーとトイレの仕切りがないのには最初戸惑いましたがベトナムの文化を味わえて良かったです。 ホステルを出たら賑やかな街が広がっていてめちゃエキサイティングでした。匂いも騒音もぜひ体で感じてほしいです。
- Marissa (10/5): - Very friendly staff, clean room, and great location.
- Stijn (10/5): - We felt very welcome in Luxury Backpackers Hotel, especially Linh helped us with arranging the best trips and the best hotspots in Hanoi. Definitely recommend this hotel.
- Faiz (10/5): - Please be aware, at the time of this writing (23/09/2023) that there is no lift so going to your room requires traversing up and down the staircase :(. However, putting that aside, this hotel is located in Old Quarter, surrounded with many dining options nearby. It is also located near a cathedral. The receptionist, Linh, is fantastic. She provided great suggestion and tips about Hanoi culture, things to do, places to eat. She ensured that the guests are welcome.
- Eric (10/5): Bathroom is much nicer than individual rooms - I am in a 8 months trip, normally i have my own room, but most of them don't have clean and nice bathroom, i give a try share room that i don't like, this bathroom is very clean and modern, much better than all my bathrooms, share areas also very clean, cost much less than my own room, i have locker that i always worry about, only problem share a room but not as lonely. I start booking share room after 6 months trip
- Christopher (10/5): - Great place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helped me find places to go and book tours. Best location in Hanoi
- Jaron (10/5): - Really friendly and helpful staff were able to provide great insight and excellent suggestions for food and adventure alike.
- Kneesaa Iahtara (10/5): 5 Stars - The place was really cozy. It was really affordable and the manager who assisted us was very accommodating. He even allowed us to do an early check-in and gave us discount for a room upgrade. The hotel is also very near to good restaurants and coffee shop so I am really happy with my visit in Hanoi. Thank you so much for taking care of us!
- Everett (8/5): - Dorm was clean and quite, with good location. The double door lockers do not secure. They need a stationary pin for one side, then lock would work.
- Sidney (4/5): - Got moved to a different hotel that they own, it was very average hot water didn’t work in the shower and lights were very dull
- Patrick (10/5): - Hotel operators David and James are excellent. Friendly warm services and assistance available 24/7. Highly recommended.
- Anita Maria (10/5): - I suggest this place. Super nice and friendly. We had a big issue with our luggages fron the airport and the owner helped us out! Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very supportive staffs
- Rashta (10/5): - I was booked here for just a few nights in March when the Covid-19 pandemic was just starting. The hostel took EXCELLENT precautions, taking down itineraries and taking temperatures every morning. Since my tours got cancelled I holed myself up here and had the absolute loveliest time. My room was GORGEOUS and the free breat every morning was delicious. Very happy with Daniel ( Dzung) and all his service. All the staff were excellent. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hostel. Would stay longer but the journey must continue... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast and good location.
- Christine (10/5): I had a good stay - Nice and helpful staff. Can be better if the hot water supply can be more steady.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I had an excellent stay at the Luxury Backpacker’s hotel. I booked a double room which had plenty of space, comfy bed, and air conditioning which was perfect after a day walking in Hanoi. Check-in was easy and staff were very friendly - free breakfast is good too! Perfect location in Hanoi and very well-priced. Definitely recommend!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - How friendly the staff were to me in helping me out on booking things for me.
- Han Yu (10/5): Strongly recommend - Comfortable place with extremely friendly staff, the facilities are great and beer is cheap. It is near many great food and attractions. Will come again!
- melody (10/5): Just as good as was advertised, excellent exp! - It was great for the price, beds were clean, service was great, breakfast was good (compared to many backpackers hostels where it's just toast and eggs). Location was great as well. I was staying at their dorm and was quite satisified with it. The quality of this place is just as advertised.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I stayed for three nights in a private room. It was as shown in the photos - clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I’ll stay here again when I come back to Hanoi.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The place is clean and neat. I stayed in a dorm and was very good... I booked a ha long overnight boat tour from the reception. I wanted to book ** tour that costed $95. However, the guy at the reception tricked me into booking a tour that costed 105$ saying there is a tax of $10 and portrayed to me that I was been given a free upgrade to ***. I later checked that all the prices are including taxes...even the invoice given to me did not show tax component. He thought he fooled me but I didn't was to spoil my mood on the second day of my tour...
- Paurene (10/5): Definitely A Luxurious Backpacker Hostel - The location is great. Nice street food and attractions within walking distances. Staff are friendly and attentive. Bed is comfy and shared bathroom is ok. Clean towel is available everyday and a locker for your belonging below the bed.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - i have traveled a lot. Stayed in lots of hostels. Why I like this one so much is because of the Staff. Very kind and helpful. Plus there is plenty of room where we sleep. It’s clean and there’s a good breakfast. It’s a great location and they are really helpful with getting you where and when yo want ti go. Topshelf.
- li (10/5): - A wonderful hostel in Hanoi.My and Ben are both nice staff，nearly they helped me solve all the problems.I must come back！
- Verified traveler (10/5): - i love this place. Staff My was.very nice and helpful. Halong bay was perfect.
- Karen (6/5): - Decent place only stayed fir 9 hours. Came in late and left early. Decent breakfast. Friendly staff except they asked at 1130 for us to go to bed so they could close. The bed was a bit hard.
- chandra (10/5): - It was a great location. The staff went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcomed!
- Simone (10/5): Clean, central location and super friendly - We were a group of 7 who rented out the entire 10-bed dorm room to ourselves. We received a key to the room. Worked out great. Clean firm beds, great set up with privacy curtains and two toilet/showers and one sink. Note that it is on the top 6th floor with no elevator so make sure everyone in your group can handle the climb. Breakfast included was solid and tasty, staff helped with taxi to and from airport for very reasonable price and no hassle, and they all just did so much to help us during our stay. Never once did anyone push tours or anything like that at all. I would highly recommend their dorms if that suits you or their private rooms. They also offer reasonably priced laundry service!
- Joleen (10/5): Hanoi the perfect chaos - It's crazy everywhere you go in Hanoi and therefore you need to get a place where you can settle down, get travel advice, cheap beer, wifi and a comfortable bed with a aircon. This is a Good location in middle of old quarter but not in main road which means it's more quiet. You can also expect an good International breakfast which include bacon, eggs and toast or some flap jacks. I could recommend this place to young travelers.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hostel, very helpful, good spacious bunks. - Great stay, incredibly helpful, flexible staff who helped with booking tours, buying a si card and currency exchange. Able to leave baggage there while off on trips. Reasonably nice communal area with tables where you can get some relative peace and quiet
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel with personal touch - The staffs are very warm, helpful and personal. Noise from the streets if can cut down will be perfect for me.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good clean hotel with good location - Staff were super - helped us to call the taxi we booked at the airport & walked us out to the road where the taxi was waiting. We felt most welcome upon arrival. Place was clean. Shower was good. Breakfast was good too. Location was great. Only snag was no elevator but will definitely stay there again if we are there.
- Brooke (8/5): Great -- but other guests not so great - The hostel was nice and clean, however, people in my dorm were not great (not the hostels fault, but a definite bummer). Keep in mind that the bathrooms are in the room and other people in the dorm may decide to come in and shower after midnight and then blow dry there hair.. two nights in a row. The staff was fantastic though and I felt like they were very helpful despite my encounters with other guests who were disrespectful -- maybe post signs in dorm telling people to not use blow dryer after 10 pm and respect others after 11 am.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly and clean hostel. Would stay again
- Czar (10/5): Good for first time travellers - It's my first time travelling abroad so I had to book the most recommended hostel and I came across this. My booking included one bunk bed in a 10bed dorm. The curtains per bed provided privacy and and the bathroom and shower was good. Breakfast was also okay, helpful and friendly staff and they dont have to keep your passport. I only had a minor problem with the light in my bed, it was a little dark and I think the light needed changing but other than that it was all great. I would recommend this hostel for first time travellers.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice boutique hostel - This hostel was great, room was clean and shower was great. Beds were a little small and hard but ok for 2 nights. Breakfast was great. Staff friendly and helpful.
- Wilson (10/5): Perferct hostel experience in the perfect location - This hostel is everything every backpacker dream of. Sam, at the front, was extremely helpful and honest with booking all my tours to Sapa and Ha Long Bay. The rooms are extremely comfortable and clean. Breakfast is amazing...if you're staying in Hanoi, definitely choose this hostel. Best hostel experience I've ever been in.
- Katie (8/5): Nice hostel - Nice hostel next to other hostels. Nice location, easy to walk to different attractions. Breakfast and food options were delicious. Safe hostel - you have a key/card for the room and your own locker. They clean the rooms everyday. I caught a cold because of the A.C.
- Harry (10/5): Excellent all round! - The staff are just so helpful, the private rooms are big, clean with a nice design. James on reception helped us book a saps trip which was fantastic and also helped book us into their other hotel when the hostel was fully booked! Such good service! Wonderful place
- Tim (10/5): Good stay - Good stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean and comfortable - The location was great. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious and very clean.
- Daisy (10/5): Great Hostel - Lovely hostel, good location (just make sure you don't have your map round the wrong way like me) taxi service is very good too ask them to book this for you.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect stay in Hanoi - This hostel was perfect. We stayed there 2 nights. Breakfast was good, room was clean and the best part was the staff (James) who were so kind and helpfull. Would go back anytime. Only negative point was that it could be noisy in the room, but this is Hanoi haha!
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Great, very helpful staff and a very clean and cozy place to stay! Would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Ha Noi. Location is amazing, no need to use transport as you can walk everywhere.
- Seih Chung (10/5): Best backpacker hostel in old quarters Hanoi - This is the best backpacker hostel ever for me The location is strategy which located in the old quarter Hanoi The staffs are helpful and kind , able to speak Room condition is good, clean, and comfort Brakfast in included, several choice for breakfast and tasty Overall is very good
- Rebecca (6/5): Good location if you don't mind the 4.30 roosters - The staff who work here are lovely and you cannot fault the breakfasts or the ease of the location, but I had two problems with this hostel. First, I was woken every day by the roosters across the road, and I had no desire to wake up at 4.30 every day. The second was that the dorms aren't gender segregated. I woke up one morning at 4am to find a guy sitting at the bottom of my bed.
- Monica (8/5): Great choice! - We stayed at the Luxury Backpacker for 4 nights in a private room with our own bathroom/shower. The hostel is very clean and comfortable. The staff was nice; helped us book the taxi to the airport and escorted us to the taxi when they arrived! The block the hostel is on is great... you don't have to go far for something good to eat! The hostel also included breakfast which was a choice between western breakfast (eggs, omelet, bread, jam, etc) or vietnamese (pho, pork, noodles, etc), coffee, lemongrass tea and juices as well. A great choice if you are looking for a hostel in Hanoi.
