ngl, the hostel did really great job in keeping their room CLEAN. The cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed. The staffs are amazing and super friendly. The hostel is so near to the main road so its easier for you to drop off from airport bus or getting the bus. Its super silent there, you can sleep soundly. Roughly around 5 mins walk to where the shop streets are.

💬 Why Hanoi?

With 50780 reviews from Vietnam veterans, Hanoi is where travelers fall for Southeast Asia. It's chaotic but manageable, cheap but high-quality, traditional yet energetic. Your hostel rooftop becomes the nightly gathering spot where everyone swaps Halong Bay stories over cheap beers.

"Hanoi was Vietnam perfection. Street food blew my mind, Halong Bay cruise was epic, and my hostel became family. Northern Vietnam's energy is different — in all the best ways."
— Laura, France
