Its a social, but not a party hostel - which is exactly what I was looking for. The staff is great, especially the volunteers! I booked a female dorm, so I made some friends there. Speaking of, the bed was really comfy, with a lot of place to secure my stuff. Really like the bracelet system, so the key won't get lost. They're new, so they're doing a great job so far :)

The private room was lovely, well furnished and had a good vibe about the room. Very spacious and very clean. The complimentary water was also a nice little bonus. Big shoutout to Mya for helping me with my grab and bags when I was leaving. All the staff were very attentive and lovely.

I stayed one night in this homestay and it was just perfect for an early flight the next morning. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, and the service was amazing. They even picked me up from the bus stop coming from Hanoi City, and the next morning I had a taxi ready to take me to the airport. Everything was perfectly organized. I even got a free breakfast with eggs before leaving, which was such a nice touch. I’m really grateful for this stay—thank you so much again! Without hesitation, I highly recommend this place if you’re arriving or leaving. It’s simply perfect!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Asia! The hostel is really beautiful with great facilities e.g. a hair dryer and a pool to use. The staff are really friendly, they let me check-out late, they stored my luggage for me whilst I did the loop, and they let me change the dates of my booking last minute. The beds are comfortable with a bedside light and storage locker as well as lockers big enough for my 55L bag. Great location. Really enjoyed the free walking tour which helped me meet other travellers.

    Great location, hostel has only one room with 3 level bunk beds, it is a little difficult to climb to the 3rd level bed. Otherwise good, cheap, clean, right in the middle of old town.

    we came to Hanoi central backpackers hostel to book our halong bay and sapa tour. I cannot recommend the hostel enough to do this! both tours were brilliant, food was delicious, great for meeting people and exceptional places to visit. snow in the hostel helped us pick the right tours and was great for providing information. I lost my phone on one of the tours and she managed to locate it and return it to me safely. thank you Snow! this hostel is 10/10
