Great hotel, great location, great staff
Luxury backpacker hotel was a great place for me and my girlfriend to stay. The host Linh was very helpful and kind, she upgraded our room for free and even helped us book a discounted tour for the Ha Giang loop. She gave us great recommendations for things to do on different days and meals to try. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!

The room was very clean and the staff is very friendly. It’s also very quiet, which is very important to me because I’m a light sleeper. It’s also very central and is really easy to take a grab. I highly recommend this hotel and their services!! Thanks, David for the surprising upgrade. :)

In my 3 month asia traveling, this was my favorite hostel. Very private once you are in your bunk and also right in the middle of the city. I wish I was staying longer!

The place was really cozy. It was really affordable and the manager who assisted us was very accommodating. He even allowed us to do an early check-in and gave us discount for a room upgrade. The hotel is also very near to good restaurants and coffee shop so I am really happy with my visit in Hanoi. Thank you so much for taking care of us!

This was a good place to stay. They did a good job of communicating with me via the app and arranged for a driver to meet me at the airport. A staff member helpfully carried my bag for me up to the 5th floor. The room was as advertised, comfortable & clean. The options for eating near by were overwhelming and sights were walkable. They were quick to offer any help in booking travel services & stored my bag for a bit after check out.

Pleassant Stay
It's a pleasant stay. I was there for 3 nights. The staff were able to provide timely support and assistance. They were really helpful and friendly. The location is quite near to the old town and the lake. The room was in general clean. There's little room for improvement in the cleanliness of the bathrooms, but just a little. There's slight odour.

Please be aware, at the time of this writing (23/09/2023) that there is no lift so going to your room requires traversing up and down the staircase :(. However, putting that aside, this hotel is located in Old Quarter, surrounded with many dining options nearby. It is also located near a cathedral.
The receptionist, Linh, is fantastic. She provided great suggestion and tips about Hanoi culture, things to do, places to eat. She ensured that the guests are welcome.

Bathroom is much nicer than individual rooms
I am in a 8 months trip, normally i have my own room, but most of them don't have clean and nice bathroom, i give a try share room that i don't like, this bathroom is very clean and modern, much better than all my bathrooms, share areas also very clean, cost much less than my own room, i have locker that i always worry about, only problem share a room but not as lonely. I start booking share room after 6 months trip
