Hanoi Backpackers Hostel & Rooftop Bar

I stayed in a mixed room. I, a single girl, was put in a room with 5 guys. There was a razor in the bathroom, the toilet was not flushed, things were scattered around the room. But these are situational things and here it depends on your luck with the neighbors. But the main minus is that there is a bar upstairs of the hostel, neighbors (including from other rooms) drank until the middle of the night. The hostel has poor soundproofing and it was impossible to sleep in such conditions. The next night I moved to another hostel. Pros: + clean bed linen + normal water in the shower + great location in the center + good breakfast. Cons: - noisy, poor soundproofing - don't give a towel - potentially drunk neighbors because of the rooftop bar (but for some, the bar is a plus) If you are a young person and are planning to have fun and drink in Hanoi, then you probably won't find any downsides to this hostel. If you need a good night's sleep, then this is definitely not your option.

Great receptionists, the cleaners are attentive when requesting something, good breakfast and worth your money. You're right next to Beer Street and only a 10 min walk from the lakes and cafes! It's a hostel, so of course it will be small and full of different people (mainly young and European) people coming in at 4am and putting their bags in the loud locker etc... bring headphones lol. Shower is fine, clean and warm, towels can be rented for 30k, a bottle of 1ltr water is 10k. Tours can be booked there too such as the Loop and Halong Bay.

Room was very humid and we found a cockroach.
