Simple Hostel Reviews

Single Budget room at the top is really tiny but cheap, had lots of air, and great views of St.Joseph cathedral from just outside the door. Very close to the lake but not in the overly crowded Old Quarter north of it (easy walk though).

Building construction and halfway shower turned off d water without informing.

Very good location, clean and everything you need.

If you're looking for a simple yet cozy hostel in the heart of Hanoi, look no further than this hidden gem. The hostel boasts clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly and helpful owners who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Located just next to St. Joseph cathedral and Hoan Kiem lake, this hostel offers a prime location for exploring the city's many attractions. The rooms are well-equipped with comfortable beds and offer beautiful views of the surrounding area. While the church bells can be a bit loud in the morning, it's a small price to pay for such a convenient location. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for travelers seeking a budget-friendly and welcoming place to stay in Hanoi.

The plane was delayed for four hours, and despite the fact that I arrived at 3.5 am, I got into the room. The owner was in touch until 22.30 and explained in detail where to get the keys. The location is very good next to the cathedral. There was a kettle and a refrigerator in the room. There is an elevator, which is important when you have a suitcase.

The room was full, but the boss helped me find another hotel to stay in. The hotel I stayed in was very good.

This is my second time staying in this room, because it is located in the tourist center, it is convenient for everything, and there are many people. It is suitable for those who can move in without luggage and those who do not have high requirements for accommodation conditions. Although the room is small, it has all the facilities. There is a church and a school downstairs.

There is a paint smell, and it is better to be near the window. The advantage is the location, but the disadvantage is that I checked in too late and could not register.

The location is good, next to the church, but the room is very small and depressing.

I stayed for 3 nights, but every day when I returned to the hotel, they changed my room without my permission and my luggage went missing. My luggage eventually turned up, but it was disgusting to think that strangers were touching my luggage without my permission every day. The price was cheap, so I had no complaints about the facilities, but on the last day, there was a massage parlor on the first floor and I had to go through it to get to my room, but the massage parlor closed and the door was locked, so I couldn't get into the hotel and was locked out in the middle of the night by a foreigner who I didn't speak! In the end, I couldn't get into my room for 2 to 3 hours in the middle of the night, and with the help of someone from a semi-basement art gallery who happened to be there, I was able to get into the hotel. I really want my money back on the third day!!! There are many cheap and safe places nearby, so those are definitely better. I will never go again!!

It is very uncomfortable to be in a massage parlor. It is noisy, the door lock is quite big, and there is no reception, so it is a bit like a hotel.

Conveniently located 10 seconds walk from Hanoi Cathedral. Massage parlors are also available, which is helpful when walking is too much of a hassle. Also, the pedestrian zone on weekends is within walking distance, so it's perfect for people who want to sleep alone but want a cheap place to stay.

There are many cafes and restaurants near Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi Cathedral, and the location is very good. The cups and lighting provided are not very clean, but considering that it is such a cheap place to stay, it doesn't bother me that much. The windows are large and open, which is nice. The only difficulty was that the hostel was not in the location shown on Google Maps, but opposite the location shown. When I went to the entrance, there was an old lady about half a floor below, who called a staff member who was also about half a floor above. After a conversation along the lines of "Where are you from?", I was immediately shown to my room. If you look closely, you can see the name of the hostel displayed in front of the entrance. You can hear the bells ringing from the cathedral, which gives it a charming feel. It was a great stay that made me feel like I was in a foreign country and experienced the joys of traveling abroad.

It's a very reasonable hotel considering the price. The entrance to the hotel is a nail salon, where you register and receive the key. The room had two bath towels, sandals, a refrigerator, a toothbrush, shampoo, and body soap. I think it would be a good idea to bring a small towel and various shampoos. It's close to tourist spots such as Hoan Kiem Lake, so you can walk there, which is nice.
