In the public spaces it was pretty grubby but - my room was clean and it was a cheap place and did the job fine

Tucked down a little alley way it was off the clamor of the Hanoi streets

Location was great. Very central but because it is located back from the street quite quiet at night. Comfortable bed and decent sized room, staff was very friendly.

The walls between rooms are a little thin, so you can hear other guests in the guesthouse if they are loud, but this was not a big deal for us.

We found this hotel great value for money. The rooms are nice and big and the shower was lovely and strong. The lady managing the hotel is also very sweet. It is literally hidden from the streets so there is no noise coming in from the outside.

It truly is a hidden guesthouse, but nicely located in Old Quarter which means it is easy to get around by foot. The Hoan Kiem river is just a few mins walk and at night, you can easily get to the streets of night market, "party street" etc. Because it was cold, no aircond was needed (not sure if there is heater though), but it was a good stay PS, highly recommend to book a pick up from airport with them as Grab is hard to get upon arrival and taxi costs a lot, about 500k dong

The only downside is it gets cold at night, especially during winter season. But everything else is excellent!

The location is very central! The room is huge with a balcony and private bathroom. Wi-Fi is very high speed. The family is very helpful too, they are always there ready to help. 🌟🌟🌟

The hustle and bustle and noise of hanoi, but then I don't like cities, so any city would have made me feel the same. Sometimes it has to be done though, for the experience.

Quiet location off the street, easy to walk to hoan kiem lake, luckily we stayed over the weekend which was closed off to vehicles so a much more relaxed feel when not having to navigate the busy roads with all of that crazy traffic....and constant car and scooter horns.

Great location, truly hidden quiet room in the middle of the old quarter. The shower is very good, hot water, good pressure.

There aren’t enough places to leave your clothes. The reception area could be more welcoming.

A great location but in a quiet alley. Traditional room with high ceiling & balcony. Good fan & air conditioning & comfortable bed.

There was everything what you need. Perfect location.

We have been back to this guest house a couple of times. The family are very friendly and easy going, and it’s comfortable, clean and well-situated. Our room was a good size, and being out of season the rates were particularly good.

Leaving Hanoi!

So, it is called the "Hidden Guesthouse" and lives up to its name - popping up in a small square, down a little alleyway -but suddenly you're in a charming family run guesthouse in which a beautiful winding wooden staircase takes you upstairs to large, well appointed, clean and really comfortable rooms. All together a very happy experience.

The staff were very helpful, and the location is close to the lake. The room was cozy, making for a comfortable stay. It was my first time visiting Hanoi, and they made our trip much easier. You can rent motorbikes or book a bus to Ninh Binh just by asking the staff. The prices for all services were also very reasonable.

The access down alleyway was quite dingy but thats a fairly minor thing. Making travel arrangements was a very long process, even booking a taxi. Harley is the only one who can speak English well. So Google translate was needed, but the staff did do their best to help.

Beautiful old wooden house near the Old Quarter and lake and not far to the Temple of Literature and Koto restaurant. Friendly helpful staff and very clean and comfortable accommodation with aircon. It is truly hidden away in a small street and down a dark little alleyway, but the staff come out to show you the way if you catch their shuttle. It is fairly quiet being off the street.

No elevator access and we are in the 3rd floor.

Quiet neighborhood. Friendly staff. Big room and comfy bed. Big private bathroom. Strong wifi, TV and fridge. Balcony and city view.

Room not up to scratch, was underwhelmed given previous reviews. Bit under-maintained and window nailed shut so couldnt get to shutters which were closed so not much natural light. Got moved to room at top with huge windows. Was great but neon strip lighting and felt a bit like an office (furniture, doors etc) so wouldnt recommend for a romantic trip. Perfect for watching a storm though.

Nice staff, helpful and accommodating. And yes, it is peaceful despite the excellent, busy location.

Stayed in July 2024

It is just in the centre of Hanoi, perfect to go walking everywhere. Also, the workers are very nice and help a lot, and the room was very big, comfortable and with AC.

Stayed in July 2024

TV couldn't get channels but that's very minor issue. Balcony just looked into neighbouring buildings, rather than courtyard at front.

Loved its location. It was bang in the middle of the Old Quarter, near the lake and Beer Street, but down a quiet alley so weren't disturbed by noise. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy, and shower and fridge really good. Loved the old skool style of the place.

Stayed in May 2024

We were on the top floor and there was a small leak in the roof during a storm, but wasn’t really an issue

Big, spacious and clean rooms in a great location. It’s easy to find as the alleyway has a sign as you approach it off the Main Street and through the alley too. Would stay here again!

Stayed in May 2024

Great location, staff so helpful with luggage and transport, balcony overlooking quiet courtyard, neighbourhood feel, cheerful paintings on walls, comfortable room

We could hear our neighbors well, walls are very thin and the door to our room had a glass - not transparent but we could see the light when they came back in the middle of the night and woke us up.

Very good location - in Old Quarter but in a bit more silent street than all the other streets. Recommend if you want to stay in that area and can't stand the street noise.

Quiet for Hanois standards since it is located in a backyard. The location is amazing, in the old district.

There is a minor ant problem (just don’t leave any food out and use the fridge), the pressure in the top room was not great, and the bottom room had no windows. But none of these things were a huge concern to us.

Modern and clean, good facilities including hair dryer, fridge, wardrobe space and kettle. Our first two nights spent here, we lucked out and got the top room with an awesome view and big windows all around (only downside- lots of steps if you don’t like steps). For our second stay we stayed in the ground floor annexe like room. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. On our last day in Hanoi they allowed us to use the shower in the reception after our gym session and before our overnight bus, so we were super grateful! And ideal location of course.

my room was at the top floor so a lot of stairs! If you have problem with stairs you should check your decision. Also there is no common areas to meet ppl .There are not important to me. I am just giving information.

The room was huge and super clean. Bathroom was clean .Location is suberb. Close to everything within walking distance. Overall I was content with my room.
