About

HOT TIP: Hanoi is better when you don’t do it alone. Welcome to the chaos of Hanoi’s Old Quarter - street food smoke, hidden cafes, Beer Street energy, and nights that rarely end early.

We’re a social hostel. From the moment you check in, we make it a breeze to find your people. Kick off your night at The Meet Up – a daily 7pm get-together at the bar with 50% off beers. Come alone, leave together. From our Monday Night Pub Quizzes to our Saturday White Parties, it’s easy to make new friends here (sometimes too easy). Recover in between in our air-conditioned sports bar with live sport on the big screen, with Premier League, UFC, and whatever else gets the group chat going.

Make Mad Monkey Hanoi your launchpad for northern Vietnam’s biggest hits — Ha Giang Loop, Ha Long Bay cruises, Sapa treks, Ninh Binh escapes. All bookable through us, no effort required, just send it.

Step outside and you’re instantly in it: street food stalls, rooftop bars, night markets, and late-night bánh mì runs you didn’t plan but won’t regret. And when you finally tap out? Air-conditioned dorms and privacy curtains on every bed so you can recharge before round two.

*Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.

WHY MAD MONKEY?
Because the best hostel stays are not just about where you sleep. They’re about who you meet, where you end up, and the questionable decisions and stories you collect along the way.

Been there for months now and can't imagine going to another place. Staff is amazing even though it changed a lot and miss the one who left. But gladly new staff members makes me feel comfortable just like they've been here forever and I'm glad I can call them family. So definitely the best place to be.
