Hanoi Backpackers Lodge

Capsules are a good arrangement, very private with rolling blinds like a shop security door and equipped with personal fans, multiple electrical outlets, personal lights, and folding desks. Bed was very comfortable. Room temperature was good with ac running very frequently. Storage drawers are very large and have locks. The multiple bathrooms are spacious and have a lot of stalls and showers. Great location near the big highway, the pedestrian bridge, and plenty of stores. Great wifi. Great staff, i really like them, it is not me making those messes, i am a clean, quiet, and well behaved person!

Some guests not clean, quiet, and well behaved. You just have to get rid of these guys. The storage lockers are sliding drawers that can be loud and the door is possible to let it slam. You cant let this kind of people have access to anything they can slam or make noise with. These guys open the sliding drawer loudly 10 times just to get 1 bag out in the night and early morning. They walk back and forth, day and night through the room door that slams if you dont hold it while it closes. They come in at all hours, slam the door, open the drawer loudly, get a toothbrush, slam the drawer loudly, leave and let the door slam loudly, come back 2 minutes later and do the same thing to put the toothbrush in the drawer and get a towel out, and so on for the next item, over and over again. They leave shoes in the middle of the hallway at night and people can trip over them. There was a couple, male and female, of possibly germans, that talk loudly any time day or night with no regard for any other guests. One guy took a roll of toilet paper and put toilet paper all over the balcony railing just to dry his clothes on top of the toilet paper. Then he took his clothes and left toilet paper all over the balcony, and didnt throw it away. Then he did the same thing again the next day with more toilet paper. He may have done it again the next day too. Now theres toilet paper all over the balcony. You have to remove these guys from society. We cant have these guys walking freely in the world. Some people should not have freedom. They should all be put in one place and be forced to live together without bothering decent people. A message to the locals: these arent normal foreigners, this kind of people are not accepted in my country and probably arent accepted in their own countries either. I should clarify though, it wasnt all foreigners behaving badly. I think the guy putting the toilet paper on the balcony was vietnamese, and there were a few others that seemed vietnamese.

-Small room but beds were very comfortable, with AC and a little fan. We had privacy curtains, individual plug sockets and a little shelf which was very handy. Also a locker present for bags. - Good location in the old quarter - Good value for money

- Bed sheets weren't the cleanest with lots of other people's hair - Shared bathroom not clean and never had any toilet paper - Bedroom door doesnt have a lock and anyone cam open it, felt a little uncomfortable

Great location and exactly as described. Rooms were comfortable and for the price you can’t say it’s not a 10.

Only issue was the bathroom smelt of smoke, apart from that this was a perfect budget friendly hostel!

Nice having a double bed in a hostel dorm There was hot water but the shower didn’t stay up on the wall The locker under the bed is decently sized The cleaning staff were very good and kept everything tidy and clean Good price

DONT BOOK BUS WITH THEM! We had booked 9:30pm sleeper bus to Sapa, stood outside ready from 9:10pm, someone eventually came around 9:45pm ish, and then after a long time said we had to follow her to another place for pick up. She drove her motorbike while us and another couple had to essentially run after her as she was driving down a dual carriage way and telling us to hurry, she kept telling us ‘5 more minutes’ we didn’t get on our bus until 11pm. Book your bus literally anywhere else, it won’t collect you from the hostel so!! The worst bed I’ve stayed in, the pillow was like a rock. We had 4 nights here and it was the worst sleep I’ve gotten in a LONG time. I was using my jumper as a pillow theirs was so solid. Felt like an inconvenience to staff whenever we needed anything like checking in felt like we were bothering them, everytime we walked through reception they would just look at us or go silent when we walked through, however there was one girl who was very nice There is also 0 social aspect to this hostel, if you’re looking for anything lively don’t stay here
