Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Mixed overall rating — The hostel's 7.1 rating sits below the Hanoi area average of 8.1, suggesting experiences vary more than at comparable properties.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30 — if your transport arrives late or early, you'll need to plan around it.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to arrange alternative care if you're travelling with an animal.

“We had a good stay here. The dorm curtains offered privacy and having two toilets and showers in the bathroom was handy. The location was great, near the cathedral, and the owner spoke English so communication was easy. I'd recommend this hostel.”

7.1Verified guest

“Stayed a few nights and it was excellent. Right in the centre of the Old Quarter, close to the cathedral. My 6-bed dorm had pull-over curtains for privacy and wasn't crowded. The staff, especially the English-speaking lady owner, were friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy and the atmosphere relaxed. I'll be back.”

“Rooms were spacious and comfy, with privacy curtains and lockers for valuables. The ensuite bathrooms were large and well-maintained. The on-site kitchen's breakfast, lunch and dinner options were tasty and convenient. Location was ideal, within walking distance to key spots.”

7.1Verified guest

“A fantastic stay. Perfect location — the Old Quarter and other areas were a short walk away. My room had a balcony, a nice bonus for smokers. Beds were comfortable and I liked the privacy curtains. Staff were friendly and ready to help. There was a cute pet hamster named Bom, a nice touch. Highly recommend for convenience, comfort and atmosphere.”
