Find Top Hostels in Hanoi

I'm a Japanese guest who stayed on July 13th, 2026. The owner, or perhaps the man at the front desk, was very helpful and assisted me in English. The first floor is a cafe, so there isn't really a common area for guests to relax in, as it's used by regular customers. The shower is inside the room (separated by a door). The sink is also in the room, so there's a possibility of noise if your roommates come back late. I wore earplugs and fell asleep quickly, so it didn't bother me much. Shampoo and conditioner were provided, but the dispenser on the left was broken and unusable. I'm not sure if the middle one worked; I was too lazy to check and just washed my hair with water. However, it was very clean. There were no strange smells or insects. The air conditioning was on full blast, which was a bit of a downside as it got quite cold. I couldn't find the remote control. There was no duvet, just a single sheet. You'd need to wear extra clothes to stay warm. Despite that, the location is excellent. It's not tucked away in an alley but on a bright street, with plenty of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Toothbrushes and bottled water were also provided! Overall, I'd say it's a good hostel for its 2000 yen price point. The Wi-Fi was incredibly fast. Whether your stay here is comfortable or not really depends on your roommates.

I arrived at Hanoi Airport at 11pm for an 8:20am flight the next morning, so I stayed at this hotel inside the airport. The location was great. There was no shower, but washing my face in the toilet and wiping my body with a damp towel was enough. It was much more comfortable than sleeping on a bench at the airport. The air conditioning was a bit noisy, but it wasn't too hot so I turned it off and slept. It was nice that they provided a bottle of water and a small piece of bread for free.

One of the worst customer services we have had in more than 6 months in Asia. Upon arrival, the receptionist assigned us two upper beds, despite us arriving at 6:00 AM and having booked weeks in advance. Politely, using both English and a translator, we asked to change to bottom beds, as we noticed upon entering the room that out of the 6 beds, only the two of us had checked in, and we asked if we could be near each other since we are a couple. Her response? ”Impossible! We are fully booked! The system does not allow changes.” Repeatedly. We innocently thought it was a system problem. Since we had a second consecutive reservation, we managed to get her to agree to change us for the second booking. When the day arrived, she moved us to another room, much worse, with bottom beds but separated. We complained to stay in the same room, negotiating for just one bottom bed since it seemed ”impossible” to have both, even though it was 9:00 AM and almost all the beds had been vacated by guests! At first, once again ”impossible,” but after insisting, she agreed to only one bottom bed. When asking to change the top bed because it was right next to the door—which rattled and practically didn't let me sleep for two nights—again: NO, IMPOSSIBLE. After having to ask her several times, she reluctantly agreed and did both changes in ONE minute. Was it THAT difficult? And also, clearly it was NOT a system issue in the end, which was very dissapointing. The beds are comfortable, but if you have a bed in room 3A next to the door, the door mechanism does not cushion the impact and the door makes the entire wall next to your head in the cubicle rattle VERY loudly. They should have a way to muffle the door noise. A LOT of street noise comes in through the balcony door. If you are a light sleeper, better look for another option. The cleaning staff makes a great effort to keep everything clean, as it is a hostel where they don't give you ”slippers”; therefore, all the dirt from the street comes in with your shoes, and when stepping on the wet bathroom floor from the shower, it gets spread everywhere. They give you clean towels every day, which is an interesting plus. In the end, it was a mixed experience, with a very dissapointing aftertaste because of the receptionist treatment. If you are looking for cheap facilities for a short stay, it is good. If you have problem with noise, be careful of room 3A. Location and neighborhood is nice.

The room is spacious and beds are really comfortable. There were just 2 of us at the time so it was kinda peaceful. Rooftop area had a cute view of the city and this is where breakfast is served. Really enjoyed my stay plus the reception is very welcoming and kind. First time solo backpacking here!

Overall can give 6/10. The highest can give 9/10 for location alone. Cheap with breakfast. A pre historic building. With a few renovation here & there. Narrow allies, Narrow staircase. You have 2 bathrooms to accommodate, that's good. Mattresses, blanket, pillows all OK, clean, good condition and not smelly. Thanks for that. If you carry backpack and if you're elderly person, you'll find it difficult to navigate the allies and climb up the stairs. Otherwise it's ok. Thanks.

This is a great hostel and it was a relaxing spot to wrap up a memorable trip in Northern Vietnam. It was an easy 10 minute walk from the Hanoi Train Station after returning from Ninh Binh. The mattress was soft and space was very clean. The 4th floor common space was a great spot to read/work/relax. The staff were very kind and helpful. I look forward to coming back here.

I'm currently staying in a dorm room. It's cramped, humid, and poorly ventilated, so it's really only good for sleeping. The Wi-Fi works well. The shower room... it's dirty. I only stayed one night because it was so cheap (around 6,000 KRW), but I won't be coming back. The Chinese guests in the same room are incredibly noisy. Even now, they're watching something without headphones. I don't understand why they're not using headphones when other people are trying to sleep.

I noticed almost imperceptible sweat stains on the pillow. The shampoo and shower gel bottles were almost empty. The air conditioning had a musty smell. However, the room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom was also good. The taxi service was reasonably priced, even cheaper than Grab, but the SIM card was much more expensive than what you could buy in the city. The owner is very friendly.

Can trip.com help this hotel improve when it comes to cleanliness so that no one will be a victim of insects and at least what we paid for is worth it. I cant imagine myself on my stay in this hotel that I jumped out from my bed because the rat pass near my forehead while I was just resting and because of this I was awake until morning. They transfer me to another room but cant still sleep due the noise near my room. They transfer me again for the 3rd room,but I just really survived on my 3rd day because I get tired of telling them. On the third room,there is a fly, ants and other small insects. I dont know how they clean. So traumatic experience with the mouse,in my whole life,first time I experience rat crawling near my forehead and even the rat enjoy big bite on my bread that I place in my bag. Please trip.com,help this hotel improve if possible because I like to book hotels and flights thru trip.com.I was not able to take photos of the rat because of my nervousness that time.

The owner of this place is incredibly kind and helpful; they even assisted me with my arrangements. Being a local Vietnamese, they've created a wonderful environment where I've met many interesting people from different countries. It's been great chatting with them and making new friends. A good friend even gave me a piece of bread!
