"I booked a bunk bed type with all female occupants. The location is great once you know how to navigation the places around. But at first it was very confusion for me to locate it since it’s situation in one of the small alleys and haven’t notice right away the small sign of thier hostel name. But over all it was a good location bec it’s really just in the middle if the old quarter, a few walks to the night market, Hoan Kiem lake, Cathedral and many beautiful and instagrammable cafes like the Always Cafe( Harry potter themed cafe). The amenities are good and the toilets are cleaned properly. The attendants speaks English well."

Very Good
NNov27Had a wonderful stay here, very clean room, the morning receptionist welcomed me with warm greetings and gave me a lot of great recommendations and the night receptionist was helpful, we talked a lot about Vietnam and My hometown in Indonesia 😆
You guys should definitely book this hostel when you come to Hanoi, especially if you want to get close to the Night Market, it's only 3 minutes walk from the hostel...
EEkaterina EI chose this hotel to get to the airport the next day without rushing and traffic jams.
The room is clean, the bed linen is clean, the towel is clean and small, there is hot water, good WiFi. Upon check-in, they give you a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
The window of my room looked inside the house, so it was quite noisy. Nothing special - the usual sounds of life: children screaming, karaoke songs, barking dogs, loud conversation of those going up the stairs.
Getting to the airport is convenient. The bike did not come to me, and I called a car, the way to the airport to Terminal 1 took 15 minutes (56,000 dong).
Overall, this is a good option for a transit overnight stay, only next time I will ask for a window facing the street.
Breakfast is not included in the room, but you can ask to cook something, there is a short menu for this. I asked for a banh mi with an egg (45,000) and got coffee in the cafe opposite (30,000). They cooked deliciously, the bread was fresh and brought to me hot.
TTobias TIf you're looking for a simple yet cozy hostel in the heart of Hanoi, look no further than this hidden gem. The hostel boasts clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly and helpful owners who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Located just next to St. Joseph cathedral and Hoan Kiem lake, this hostel offers a prime location for exploring the city's many attractions. The rooms are well-equipped with comfortable beds and offer beautiful views of the surrounding area. While the church bells can be a bit loud in the morning, it's a small price to pay for such a convenient location. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for travelers seeking a budget-friendly and welcoming place to stay in Hanoi.

SSavingtimeWhere do we start. Privacy 0 If you have a lower bed, everyone can look inside your bed. Everyone is going based, you see you.
Not all toilets and showers close.
In my room, the air conditioner was dropping a lot of water, and because it was in front of the door, it was always completely wet. I told the receptionist, and he simply said that he knows. No towel or anything to clean it up.
Oh, and not to forget the internet is awful. I maybe had internet 5% of the time and even then really bad. Most of the time, you couldn't google or anything.
I've been to many hostels, and this is probably the worst of all.

AAlexeyI had an incredible stay at this hostel, thanks especially to Max, the host who made my experience unforgettable! Max was always helpful, kind, and full of great stories—he’s such an interesting person to talk to! He really went above and beyond to make guests feel welcome.
The other staff members were also super friendly and gave excellent recommendations for exploring the area. Thanks to them, I discovered some hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own.
The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming, the facilities are clean and comfortable, and the people—both staff and guests—make it feel like a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

SSanaIt was comfortable stay so you get what you paid for. The location was not the best because you need to take a bus or taxi to get to the old city. The receptionist were very kind and helpful. They offer tours and taxi to and from the airport in reasonable prices. 10 min taxi to Aeon mall which has the best food court in Hanoi in my experience.
DDeeeeengdongThe location was perfect — it’s right next to Beer Street, so it’s the best spot if you want to enjoy it.
But keep in mind it can be noisy. ^^ At this price in this location, you can probably guess the facilities aren’t top-notch, so don’t expect too much.
Also, the water pressure was really weak, so give yourself plenty of time when taking a shower. haha

RRoland TanGood Location, near to eateries, and night market. But no lift and room is not free from outside noise. You can hear poeple walking and talking along the staircase.
Good for pubbing, eating and shopping. Not good for good night rest.
