Lovely guesthouse in a good location. Clean & spacious rooms. Staff were outstanding. Restaurant served delicious food & fresh fruit smoothies. Breakfast was included & was definitely worth getting up for! One man in particular made are stay so much more enjoyable... Dung Doan or slightly easier to pronounce Zoom who worked on reception. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was so incredibly helpful, funny, caring & kind. A proper gentleman. He helped us adjust to the Vietnamese way of life!

Our stay at the hostel, although quite short, was something that all of us really enjoyed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the free breakfast was basic but filling, and the entire hotel was kept clean to the point that we all thought that we were staying in a 4 star hotel. Thanks to the staff for helping us to plan out our trips around northern Vietnam, to Sapa, HaLong Bay and Tam Coc - they made it super easy and straightforward to book tours and the like!

The staff here were always really friendly and willing to help; which came in handy many times. Loved having complimentary breakfast in the morning to start our day. There are a lot of stairs, depending what floor your room is on, but we didn't mind. The location is in the heart of the old quarter and you can easily walk anywhere. I really liked my stay here.

I thought it was a really nice, clean dorm--even had a tv-- with lots of natural light. THe only thing i didn't like too much was when I was checking out in the lobby, a guest who was lodging a complaint about something was treated very rudely by the management. The supposed owner even went as far as to try to include other guests in the lobby in the argument and ended up making the girl cry. Not a good impression. Other than that, it was excellent though.

Would recommend this place to everyone. High standard of accommodation for the price. If you book a tour through the reception, you can get them down on price. We booked ha long bay with them for $100 and the boat was fantastic. Other cruises had boat envy!

I couldn't recommend this place more! The staff are amazing, so friendly, welcoming and very happy to help, lots of advice with places to go/eat and things to do. The rooms are as you would expect from a hostel, beds pretty comfy, lockers and good shower. There is always tea/coffee and fruit available througout the day in the reception and restaurant downstairs. Great location, close to most things you'll want to visit. I'd definitely stay again!

A clean, well-run hotel/hostel located in a great part of the old quarter of Hanoi. Free breakfast, computers, and easy booking of trips onward make this a great place to land. The dorm is spotless, and has a great bathroom, though only 1 for 8 people Try the nearby local buses when traveling onward and save big.

Overall it was a nice and clean hostel/hotel. BUT be careful to book a tour there. It is really overcharged!

The staff is awesome, Zhou the guy at reception is incredibly helpful and friendly, he helped us booked all the tours/bus tickets. Dorms and privates are clean and comfortable, and it has a perfect location. They give for free a very good breakfast and there´s also free coffee, tea and fruit all day long in the reception. Greatly recommended!

A mixture of hotel and hostel with private rooms and a dorm room. All rooms have nice bathrooms with a proper bath. The dorm room is crowded but friendly. When I was there the hot water in the dorm room bathroom wasn't working so we had to go to another room to shower which was a bit annoying.

I booked a dorm bed but the dorms were full when I got in so I got upgraded to a private room with its own bath/toilet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped me book a tour to Halong Bay and, while I was out on tour, booked sleeper bus tickets to Hoi An for me and a friend. This was during the Tet (New Year) Festival so the train was sold out and it was hard to get transportation tickets. I also loved the free coffee/tea and fresh fruits!

Can't say much about this place since our hostelworld booking apparently meant nothing to them and they were completely full when we got there. Because its Vietnam though you get used to stuff like this. Surprisingly we were moved to a very nice private room in another hotel down the street for the same price (we were expecting a crappy room), so it ended up working out in our favor. We wanted a dorm though to meet people! Building of little hanoi diamond looked nice, perfect location, clean.
