  This place was great. Probably my favourite hostel by far in Vietnam. The location was good, the hostel was cozy, clean, well maintained and had the most comfiest beds I’ve slept on with a full on duvet. It made me feel like I was home. The locker size is huge which is great for backpackers with 60L bags and probably fit an addition small back in there. The bathroom ensuite is is small but really clean, showers were really nice and warm. The rooms and washrooms were cleaned first thing in the morning and always seemed like it was cleaned twice a day. The free breakfast is not too bad, but had a beautiful rooftop to enjoy your food.

  Lovely hostel - the price is great and includes a towel and free breakfast. We did a free walking tour with Luna and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend joining at 10am!

  I really enjoyed my stay here - the location is great and they offer really good social events. I want to give Zo at reception a special mention - they helped us book our sapa trek, ha giang loop and cat ba trip all in one go and sorted our transfers, hostels etc. Zo even wrote us an itinerary so everything went smoothly and it did. We have had no complaints or issues. This really made booking our activities so much more helpful so definitely use the reception for bookings !! Thankyou Zo

  I had such a great time in Hanoi, and it was all because I stayed at this hostel. Everyone is so friendly and I had so much fun on the pub crawls. A big thank you also to Sophia, she’s the best

  I was here before and after ha giang. Valentino was most present out of all the hosts. He takes good care of everyone and makes you feel like youre at home. He organizes fun games in the evening and is an insanely fun guy to be around. Especially during free Beer aura.

  Good hostel in Hanoi, well located, decently social, and clean. The beds here are the comfiest I’ve had in 3 months backpacking in Asia. The free beer hour is a good place to meet people but it’s nice that the roof bar closes early so you can still get some quality sleep. Would book again.

  Good location. Refused to give info if it didn't support their already rich owner (multiple hostels around the country, no small business support) they wouldn't help me with bus/train/transport unless I used their private service. "Please check online" when I asked if they knew where I could take the bus. Not for backpackers. No pillow on the bed unless I asked. Go elsewhere

  Ben and Mru are possibly the best reps we’ve have throughout are whole 6 month trip. The were always so positive and active and getting people involved in the games. The pub crawl was always fun and the reps were amazing during that as well. The made our trip to Hanoi and will definitely miss them. Would 100% recommend staying here just to drink with Ben.
