I recently stopped here for 3 nights and I am very happy. The staff are friendly and are more than happy to help with any questions you have about the surrounding area. The maps they provide are a big help and the staff will point the areas you need to get to on there if you ask. We have only... More

I stayed here for 3 nights and I have no complaints. The rooms were fine.. a bit cold, but I prefer that over being warm. Free internet access, breakfast and information on tours. I would definitely recommend this spot for budget travelers and people who want an opportunity to meet other travelers. We met quite a few people here that... More

This review concerns the property on Ma May, there are two. To be fair this hostel is clean, well maintained and has an excellent location. It is unusual to see a hostel like this in Vietnam, ie of a proper backpacker standard with restaurant and bar. The problem with it though is it is a totally cynical place, everything is... More

Liked this place full young travels, nice wee places to eat around it. But every time I went out had to get motorbike taxi back as I couldn't find the place bit hard to find but that wouldn't put me off staying here. If booking trips go outside you'll get it cheaper. Get a sleep sheet you can buy one... More

We were staying nearby and happened to be wandering out to eat in the evening, and noticed a happy hour sign, so decided to have a drink non the way. The atmosphere is really buzzing with young backpackers (we thought our children would fit in very well), and even though we were relative oldies, we enjoyed the beers/cocktails at fantastic... More

As an older couple we weren't sure what to expect from a backpackers hostel, it was great! The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, we had a private room with our own bathroom and the room charge included a breakfast. The hostel was pretty full over the eight days and not once did we find that it... More

I recently moved to Hanoi and I heard this was the place to be. I ended up staying in both Hanoi backpackers- and they are very, very different. The newer one is party central, whereas the older one definitely has a more laid back vibe. the rooms were ok- not anything special- but for south east asia they were more... More

From the standpoint of the owner, this place is a tight ship. For the guest, it's a hassle a minute. Towels are available only as an add-on if you stay in the dorm, and it's certainly a reasonable price at the equivalent of U.S. 50 cents... oh wait, so sorry, "we don't have any more. Come back at 10pm please".... More

Great value for money, great location, good food and drinks, lots of activitys... like the snake village experience and bar crawl.... just be careful... the bus tickets and halong bay tour are over priced!!
