Hanoi Backpackers Hostel & Rooftop Bar Reviews

We arrived from the airport past 2 am and we were happy to be accommodated by the front desk officer . We took the dorm type since we only stayed for 7 hours and checkout for Sapa. Everything was worth the price except for the bedding who has a spot of blood on it.

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.

Perfect for meeting people and deciding where to go on your trip. The staff is super kind, and beds comfy. People kept inviting me to join their tables and friend groups which is a rarity in the world, and a treasure for a solo traveler.

Room was very humid and we found a cockroach.

The location is perfect to enjoy night life, the hostel is very clean with a great service, I highly recommend this place.

It was a good experience the food is good but the stuff is not so patient specially the local guy

Great location and super cheap

Great hostel, loved my stay there, however one thing is that there is only one toilet per room and one toilet for the whole bar, which can lead to some pretty long queues

The room was very clean and cold, all the staffs were so nice and helpful. Also love the dogs (they follow you to the dorm room sometimes!)

Not sure what’s with the hype and good ratings here but i do find it average. Except for the location, everything else was just basic

Amazing hostel. Clean rooms. Roof top bar was LIT

The location is great, but there were issues. Our friends travelling with us were locked out of the hotel when they tried to return late, and ended up having to go sleep at a different hotel as nobody could reach the guy on duty at the time. The lady working the counter was very apologetic and did give us a room for the second night free of charge (we were leaving at 10pm for our flight). Before leaving, we got trapped in the elevator. The limit is 6 people and we were 6. We were stuck in there for about 10 minutes and it felt like we were inconveniencing the guy working there by being stuck. It was extremely hot in the elevator as the elevator switched off and so did the A/C. There was also no signal in the elevator.The A/C in the room is also not great and takes long to cool down the room. Here’s a photo of all of us sweating in the elevator pretending like we were not panicking 😂

The room was quite cramped., I got what I've paid for 😆

Excellent hostel with a wonderful rooftop. Perfect location as it is in the centre of beer street. Walking distance to train street, lake and other cute areas of Hanoi. We booked a private two bed room which was spacious, clean and had towels and other toiletries. The only thing was there were small ants in the sink and on the shower shoes. We were originally going to do the Halong Bay cruise booked when we got to the hostel we heard about the Ha Giang Loop (a must do when in Hanoi). We booked the Ha Giang loop tour through the hostel and they provided a one night free stay upon coming back because you arrive back around 3am in the morning. We didn’t have a private room but slept In the 8 bed mixed dorm. Beds were comfy and clean, curtain for your privacy and shower/bathroom was in the bedroom which was quite handy. No towels or toiletries but all available to rent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend if you are travelling solo or with a group of friends. We tried to book a grab to the airport when leaving but all the drivers were busy. I asked the hostel and within 10 minutes they had a car for us and cheaper then the rate of what grab was suggesting. 10/10 - thanks for a great time in Hanoi
