  Good and affordable accommodation kept clean and tidy friendly staff and really relaxing place to just chill out breakfast is free and water and cold beer is at a good price . Rooms are well priced and our room was basic but everything worked and was a comfortable night. The hostel is fairly central close to shops and short 4-5 min walk to nightlife . You have free wifi and is pretty good we did a clear hour long video call no problem. Not to bad of a spot to book tours too they don’t pressure you at all really relaxed and do a far deal .

  Stayed here on two occasions, both for 3 nights. The hotel varies room to room. We booked a double/twin, with private bathroom. First night we were put in the front of the hotel, woken at 6am with traffic and noise. Windows did nothing to stop noise. We asked to move and they let us, with no issues at all. The room was much better the second time. On the second stay we requested a room at the back and they gave it with no issue at all. Really good air con, not totally clean, but much better than a lot of hotels I’ve been in, in Vietnam. Overall, super lovely staff, friendly and kind and willing to help if you ask. Could be cleaner and better renovated. But you’ll be ok here for a few days in Ha Long Recommended from someone who has been to loads of hotels across Vietnam. Very good value for money!

  Really friendly staff and good breakfast (choice of eggs and bread roll or a fat pancake, plus fruit and tea or coffee). The first time I stayed the bathroom wasn't very clean and I got woken up by street vendors and traffic before 7 am. Mentioned this to the staff and was able to change to a room at the back of the building - clean bathroom and much quieter. Second stay was fine, no issues at all. Even managed to check in early as we arrived before lunch from Cat Ba Island. Laundry is 30k/kg and takes about 24h. The room décor is really random, but the rooms have plenty of space and hanging areas for stuff, so very functional. Great location near plenty of restaurants and Sunworld complex which has an amusement Park, a waterpark and cable car.

  We stayed two nights in this place and I must say it was the best hostel so far in Viernam. ||The staff is super friendly, the music is not bad and you can play if from your phone also. ||You can use the kitchen which was a mega plus for me. ||The first beer is free.||The room was not the best (everything is very old and might need fixing) we have had but it did not matter much. ||Free breakfast. ||Good location, lovely staff, great atmosphere, books, definitely reccommend it.

  Our stay was absolutely amazing! We stayed in a super stylish private room and had a lot of room to spread out. Everything was clean and the free breakfast helps you have great start into the day. And the free beer helps you end your day on a good note :)|The staff here is sooo nice and helpful. You guys are amazing and made our stay even better! We will be back and I highly recommend staying here. Also it’s in the cutest and prettiest district in halong and you can book all your buses and tours directly in the hostel. |Thanks for having us!

  Stayed for two nights in this amazing hostel. The location is good and surrounded by many restaurants. This hostel looks nice and is a great place to hang out. History of many happy visitors are visible at the walls expressed in quots and drawings.||The staff is kind, like super kind! Even people who not even stayed there didn’t walk out that door before there problems where solved by Lisa or any other staff member. They are too helpful. ||Rooms where fine to me, just heard someone complaining about the shower, but I slept really well I even had a choice for sleeping on a hard or a soft matras. ||Overal, best hostel so far in Vietnam. #first beer free |

  The staff is nice and helpful, you have breakfast included and one free beer at 6.30pm. The location is good, it’s in the city center.|The room is ok, no windows thought, but the bathroom is very unclean ! There’s a lot of humidity and mould on the walls. |If you only plan to stay one night on your way to the Halong Bay or Cat Ba island, this hostel can do the job.
