I got there almost midnight, my Grab was a car and couldn’t get there all the way so keep that in mind if you’re coming from the airport. No problems riding right to it on a Grab bike. Once I got there to check in, it was super easy and quick. Staff was very friendly and supportive. Shower was in the room, didn’t need to go down the hall. Beds were clean. I loved that the doors and lockers were accessible by card, no need to fumble with keys or number locks. Breakfast was great! 10/10 reco...

I love this hostel. It’s very social and has a great location. I found the rooms big, bed was comfy, however our shower leaked which was a pain. Downside is that there is only one elevator that’s awkwardly shaped. The staff were helpful in booking things, and great with communication. I had to come back a week later to get my passport lol I also liked the breakfast included. I would recommend for any solo traveller

Es war echt alles super, wir haben sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen. Das kostenlose Frühstück war war auch echt super!! Und der Ha Giang Loop mit Buffalo ist eine absolute Empfehlung, das war die beste Erfahrung unseres Lebens.

Great hostel right in the centre of Hanoi Old Town. Close to sights/beer street. Staff are all so friendly and the 12 bed dorm o stayed in was pretty spacious with a comfy private bed. Free beer hour is a great way to get people socialising.

Beste hostel so far!!!! Hele chillen bedden en ruime kamer, fijne chillruimte beneden, locatie was PERFECT!, 24/7 receptie, aardig personeel. Echt een aanrader. Enige nadeel dat ze geen gratis watertap hadden.

Had a good experience overall here. Staff in particular were fantastic sorting out an issue we had with other guests. But was handled professionally and quickly. Atmosphere was generally good but wasn’t as social as we expected. But the free beer offer is always good.

Fantastic hostel, really social but also easy to keep yourself to yourself. All the staff were great, but I have to say the highlight was doing the Ha Giang Loop with buffalo. Couldn’t have had a better experience, was absolutely phenomenal!! Felt so safe and had so much fun.

Nowhere near as good as the Buffalo hostel in Ninh Binh unfortunately, but still a pretty solid hostel with a great breakfast and nice rooms. Social atmosphere was lacking a bit of

Best stay I've had in Hanoi but was unfortunately only there for one night after coming off a sleeper bus from Ha Giang. Bathrooms were clean, the breakfast was yummy and I slept very well in the dorm. Thank you Buffalo !
