Golden Time Hostel 3 Reviews

Perfectly situated in the old quarter near to restaurants and the Dragon lake. Friendly receptionist and small but comfortable room. Definitely recommended

The toilet had an unpleasant odor, I did not know where it was coming from.

No lift service

The location is convenient, everything is within walking distance. The room is small, but clean (it looked bigger in the photo). The shower and toilet are in one small room. The window in the room overlooks the corridor, which turned out to be good, we did not hear the noise from the street. The room is clean, no smells. The staff is friendly. We stayed for 3 nights, we refused cleaning, so the towels in the room were changed at our request. The hotel is convenient if you come to see the city and use it only for sleeping. The impression of the stay was good. Thanks to the staff for their responsiveness and hospitality!

Very well located location but the bare minimum is offered.

Golden Time Hostel 3 set the perfect tone for our entire Northern Vietnam adventure. The receptionist, Thuc, and the incredibly friendly manager, Mr. Tony, went above and beyond to help us settle in and thoroughly plan our trip. I had been in contact with Thuc since September, after booking the hostel. He was extremely helpful in explaining everything and confirming my booking. They arranged a luxury van to pick us up from the airport at a minimal cost, and that experience led us to hire a luxury van for our roundtrip journey to Sapa. It was a last-minute request, but Mr. Tony managed to arrange it seamlessly. It was a delight. Unfortunately, due to our limited time in Hanoi and Sapa, we couldn't stay longer at their hostel. I would highly recommend this hostel to everyone. The top-notch service and hospitality were amazing and unforgettable. The hostel is located in the heart of the Old Quarter, making it easy to walk to any destination. Cafe Giang is just a few steps away. It was definitely a memorable experience and a perfect first day in Hanoi. Note: The hostel is quite small, and there are no elevators, so be prepared to navigate stairs with your luggage. This wasn't an issue for us, as the service and hospitality were exceptional.

I booked this hotel because it got good ratings in TA, and had nice photos both in TA and other hotel booking sites, and thought it was very good value for what it offered. I took the 23 dollar room -- quite cheap actually, but I should have known better. Have stayed elsewhere in Hanoi for a few dollars more and had excellent experience (unfortunately no rooms were available anymore for the late booking i made), so I thought it would be comparable. Wrong. And here are my photos to prove it. Service was okay, staff were friendly and accommodating. I liked the quiet in the room (aircon was surprisingly very quiet), room and bathroom were very clean, bed mattress and pillows were good (didn't have breakfast there, so could not comment). Nothing, however, to rave about as most reviews here seem to. Perhaps they have rooms indeed which were much better than mine, still there is some deception because they never show in any photo (in any booking site) the smaller, basic rooms with uneven floors and walls, horrible wardrobe, and the cramped bedroom/bathroom. It makes me wonder if those photos of nice, large, luxurious-looking bedrooms they show are in this hotel at all. Still, for a few hours of stay (which was my case), it is not bad overall.

This is the perfect place to stay if you want a cool and quiet spot in the middle of the action! We couldn't believe how quiet our room was while being literal steps away from "beer street". The staff were warm and helpful, making us feel especially welcome. The rooms are simple but clean. Would definitely stay again!

I had such a wonderful stay with the golden hostel 3! Especially with Juli, she gave me wonderful advice on where to eat and what to see during my stay in Hanoi! She showed me a beautiful temple and delicious local deserts. She was also able to reccomend high quality excursions, such as our spa day, and was able to provide fair and affordable prices. Even got a free upgrade on my room upon arrival. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Definitely will stay here again if I ever find myself back in Hanoi. A wonderful experience for sure!

We actually stayed at Golden Wings 2 Hotel (which is just opposite the original Golden Wings Hotel, (in the same Street and I believe they share the same staff). We were very pleased with our stay. We booked for a week, and during our stay became very friendly with all the members of staff. Steven in particular, helped us plan our side trips to Halong Bay and Sapa. The staff were always interested in how your day was when you came in at night, and asked if we slept well each morning at breakfast. It is in a fantastic location, in the old quarter, near all the best eats and markets. They recommended the "New Day" cafe across the road, where we ended up eating quite a number of times as it was so good, always jammed full of people, but they made room for everyone and the service and taste was fab. After reading someone elses review on tripadvisor we booked the top floor, which was quiet and gave us great views up and down the street. The breaky each day was always plentiful and varied and delicious, and accompanied by friendly chats from the staff. I would definately stay here again, and recommend it to anyone who wants to be treated like a friend in a busy city!! PS: On our trip to Sapa, we met alot of people who didn't seem to get the same level of service from their hotel staff as we did, in all our connections to and from the train station etc....I think we did really well..Well done Golden Wings 2 staff!!

We spent two weeks on and off in between tours at the Golden Wings II Hotel. This was the best stay I've had in a hotel. The highlight was the friendly and welcoming staff. What amazing people. I feel privileged to have spent time with them all and very sad to leave. We stayed in three different rooms. Each of them was spacious and comfortable. The rooms were quiet with good air conditioning. The hotel is central to most things and located within walking distance of a lot of attractions. There are great restaurants just across the road. The hotel breakfast was lovely with a good variety to choose from each day. Our tours and outings were organised by the staff along with transport to and from the airport and train station. I will definitely return there one day and highly recommend this place.

Together with my family, we went to Hanoi last May 12, 2016. We decided to book this hostel because of the price and location. We arrived at early in the morning and they let us in, leave our things, and roamed around the city. When we came back they let us have an early check-in. The owner and the staffs are very friendly. They would cater to all your needs. We also booked our tours in the reception of the hostel. They would give you the best deals. The room we booked is a family room for four. In the room there are two queen beds, small fridge, flatscreen TV, toilet, and shower. Unfortunately the balcony is locked but still okay because we didn't spend that much time in our room anyways. The beddings are fixed everyday but I am not sure if they really clean the whole room since some parts are really dusty. The breakfast is quite nice. A big piece of bread and you can choose which spread or omelette you want. The hostel doesn't have a cafe or restaurant. They only serve breakfast but you can have FREE fruits and coffee or tea the whole day. After 4 nights of stay, we went back to the Philippines. We also booked our airport transfer in the hostel. The pros in this hostel was the friendly owner and staffs, room size, price of rooms, booking of ticket and tours in the reception, and free breakfast. The cons are cleanliness and small breakfast area. Overall our stay was really good and we enjoyed our stay in Hanoi.

We stayed here for 2 nights, the room is very clean , towel brushes shampoo everything provided, the room is newly renovated, very clean and comfortable ! Tge location very strategic, at the most lively centre of old quater, very near to dong xuan market and lake, and tahien street (beer street ) is just behind this hostel! The staff here very friendly and helpful!!! They recommended us the trip here in vietnam, help us to book the bus ticket to sapa, and the price is very cheap as well!! The staff here treat us like their family, we really feel the nice culture here. I can only say it is perfect stay !! 100% recommended!!

great location, very close to night market. Room are in good size and clean. Breakfast starts at 7am. We checked out early and staff are willing to pack take away breakfast for us. It was a very simple one though...just bread + butter + jam + cheese!!
