    lack privacy

    Had a blast at Hanoi Backpackers! The rooftop bar rocks for socializing, and the activities keep things lively. Just wish the beds had top sheets and restrooms offered more privacy. A good spot for young travelers looking to party!

    We really enjoyed delicious breakfasts and astonishing views!

    The rooms were functional and modern with nice beds, good prices. The staff were especially helpful and affable all the time. The location was the best - ease of access to a majestic church.

    I took the Beautiful Double Room with City View for 6 nights and it felt more like a hotel than a hostel. The staff were friendly and helped me book tours. They were flexible with my stay. I'd totally recommend this place and will definitely come back 😊

    lively ambiance
    rooftop bar
    bathroom ventilation

    The ambiance fosters a lively social scene, especially in the evenings. The rooftop bar elevates the experience, offering a spot to unwind with a view.

    Bathrooms in the dormitory lack ventilation, resulting in unpleasant odors and humidity that pervade the sleeping quarters. Noise levels fluctuate considerably, especially in mixed dorms, and the condition of some facilities seemed to degrade . Moving rooms frequently due to maintenance issues was frustrating, especially when quality varied dramatically-one moldy stay and an AC failure in another were unwelcome surprises.

    stuffy bathroom
    noisy evenings

    I stayed in a Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room and it was pretty comfy! The beds have curtains for privacy, a nice touch. The room was clean and surprisingly cool, perfect for a good night's sleep. The vibe in the hostel is lively, especially with the rooftop bar nearby. Just wish the bathrooms had better ventilation, as they could get a bit stuffy at times.

    We really enjoyed spending 1 night here. the breakfast was large with many options to choose from and cooked to order items. the location was incredible, just off the tourist attraction, shops, restaurants, Beer Street, and Halong Bay. Beer Street was a stone's throw away.
