It is very clean, staff do cleaning everyday, no noise, bed is super comfortable that I had best sleep ever in Vietnam for the two nights stay. We are lucky to have four gals in the mix dorm, gals are lovely too. Breakfast is available for order and value for money which is lots of options including both local and western, I had all my breakfast in the hostel. Staff provided good recommendations and there is walking your and night event you can join also. Before heading to airport I rushed to grab Cafe Giang egg coffee as staff said it’s the best one there! All in all it makes my trip with more comfort, thank you so much!

Stayed one night at Rebel Rooster and really liked the vibe — energetic, friendly, and well-run. The staff were welcoming and helpful with local tips. Bed was comfy, clean, and had privacy curtains. Great spot for meeting other travelers. Would come back for a longer stay next time.

The host and his father were both very kind and welcoming! They even provided transportation from the airport, which was a huge help. I arrived quite late, and the host thoughtfully asked if I’d had dinner yet, offering to cook something for me. His father also took me to the market when I needed to pick up some food. These gestures went above and beyond what I expected, and I’m truly grateful for their hospitality. The house itself was spotlessly clean and comfortable, making me feel safe as a solo traveler.

Best hostel and dorms I’ve ever stayed in! People are so nice and was super clean and comfortable. I stayed in a 6 beds room with just another guy that was way older which was pretty scary- but the fact that there someone at the desk all nights calmed me down

I booked 2 nights and ended up extending for 2 more. The staff were friendly. Rooms were clean and quiet, and there’s a nice little area downstairs to relax or meet other travelers. Not much of a kitchen but enough for snacks or coffee. Also liked that they changed the sheets after every guest – always a good sign.

This capsule hostel is brand-new, modern, and sparkling clean, with cozy capsules that are both private and comfortable. The staff are warm and friendly, always ready to help with anything you need. What makes this place special is not only the design but also its unbeatable location – right in the Old Quarter, just a 2-minute walk to the famous Train Street and the vibrant local food street. It’s more than just a stay – it’s a fun and unique experience, especially if you’re traveling with friends or in a group. Highly recommended for those who want comfort, convenience, and something different in Hanoi.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Asia! The hostel is really beautiful with great facilities e.g. a hair dryer and a pool to use. The staff are really friendly, they let me check-out late, they stored my luggage for me whilst I did the loop, and they let me change the dates of my booking last minute. The beds are comfortable with a bedside light and storage locker as well as lockers big enough for my 55L bag. Great location. Really enjoyed the free walking tour which helped me meet other travellers.

Great hostel, great location and staff is available for any questions you could have and speak good English. We booked a room as we were just arriving in Vietnam for a long trip, the room was good, confortable and clean. The rooftop is the place to go if you want to meet some backpackers and take a drink! Definitely recommended

Great location, hostel has only one room with 3 level bunk beds, it is a little difficult to climb to the 3rd level bed. Otherwise good, cheap, clean, right in the middle of old town.
