Attractively situated in the centre of Hanoi, Old Quarter View Hanoi Hostel features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant.

I loved my stay at the old quarter view and I kept turning to them for help/information during my trip which I always received (thanks Nancy!).The staff in general was always so nice and helpfull! The Quiz night with Shelly was super fun, she did a great job! Thank you guys :)) Also the beds are comfy and the bathrooms where clean during my stay :) because of all the activities you can join and the common area it is a very good place to meet people and make new friends :)) So even though it is a little bit more pricy than other accommodations in Hanoi, I would recommend staying there, especially when you just arrived to Vietnam and need a friendly environment to settle in!

Attractively located in the centre of Hanoi, Ha Noi Lake View Hotel & Travel offers 4-star accommodation close to Thang Long Water Puppet Theater and Hoan Kiem Lake.

Fantastic location, great staff, and good choice for the breakfast. The room was tidied every day but not cleaned as there was dust and hair around that was not cleaned. There was only one socket by the bed that was playing up at times. Breakfast is on the 7th floor and requires to walk narrow stairs from the 5th floor, so the hotel is not for disabled people. Overall, I would say it is slightly overpriced, but other than that, it is acceptable for the stay.

Well situated in Hanoi, Hanoi Banana Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace.

A very chill little hostel in the heart of Old Quarter, with really lovely and helpful staff. Despite the lack of doors to the dorms (curtains only), I found staying here to be a quieter and more relaxed experience than other hostels I've tried in Hanoi, while still being social. The kitchen (including a filtered water tap and free tea and coffee in the mornings) was very convenient. The dorm had a big window with a quaint view (look out for cute cats on nearby roofs). The only cons for me would be the very small and limited number of bathrooms, and the mattress wasn't the comfiest.

    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.
