Seems like a very nice place to hang out in hanoi for a couple of days. Only a 5 min walk to the lake and 10min to the old quarter. Maybe it tries to be a bit 2 cheesy sometimes but its a cool place and can have some good fun in the rooftop bar and food is exellent. Try the vodka bucket if you dare.

If you want a party hostel this is the place. The booking system is a bit shambolic. - the staff didn't know who was in which bed. Whilst I was out they gave my bed to someone else so I had to move room. Saying that the place is cheap, really clean, free breakfast. Not very central but a walk or moto ride. As a solo travel it wasn't my scene - too large & impersonal but i'm sure groups would have a blast!

Really great hostel, very clean and friendly. The halong bay trip 3 days to nights is more expensive here but soooo worth it. The trip is a must!

Totally awesome in every aspect. Wouldn't think twice about going back to this place. The Drift Backpacker Hostel truly deserves the all 100% comments it has gotten so far.

This hostel is very loud and is definitely geared toward the "frat party" demographic. There are regular bucket and toga parties, so if you just want to relax in peace it can be difficult. It is a very young crowd.

One of the best, most helpful hostels ive stayed in. Tours organised through hostel were great and really easy to organise. Staff were incredibly helpful and patient! Cafe was a little bit chaotic, but otherwise hostel was fansastic.
