I think this is good for young travellors looking to party it up a bit, but not for the budget travellor looking for a cultural experiece. This hostel is more like a fraternity house. It would have been excellent had I gone to Vietnam to party. The value isn't great. It is foreigner owned so you will not get ripped off by the Vietnamese, right? Well if you what they are charging you is more then what the Vietnamese would rip you off for. . . well. The location is excellent - there are lots

Phenomenal stay! Didn't have time to do any of the tours but had the opportunity of seeing a lot of Hanoi in very little time thanks to the convenient location of the hostel. Breakfast is quality stuff and the staff are fantastic.

GREAT atmosphere! 8-bed dorm a little noisy and shower rather small! Other than that would recommend it, as a fact will be returning in 2 days!

The hostel is generally nice and clean. The night shift workers hardly speak English, and so when arriving during the night you might have problems emphasizing your requests. Also, their prices for tours are slightly higher than those you can find in other hotels in the same street...

This may be one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Friendly, helpful, free internet, a good free breakfast, comfortable beds, character, it has everything! Thanks so much for a great stay!

Great place to stay. Yes, it's noisy but it's not unbearable. I heard nothing with my ear plugs in. You'll want to stay here if meeting people is what you are looking for, not if you want a quiet place to just realx.
