Friendly staff and lovely rooms

Although we reached Hanoi City Hostel much earlier than the check-in time, the receptionist was very accomodating. We were given breakfast and had the option to even shower and freshen up while he got our room ready. Both the receptionists were very friendly and helpful. For the price you pay, the rooms are good and well kept. The location of the hotel is great since you're in the heart of all the action and you won't have any trouble getting back after having a couple of the famed Hanoi beers.

Very good hostel highly recommend

We booked for three nights when we got there we were welcomed with a ice cold glass of water while waiting to check in. We were surprised when we got into the room at how big it was. Breakfast is good and all staff are very friendly. They helped us book a boat cruise and while we were on the cruise we realised we had paid a very cheap price compared to some others. We booked an extra night once back from cruise and were given a very friendly welcome back by all staff. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels given each day.

Great service, value for money, English speaking

Best hostel I've stayed in for the past one month that is around this budget.. I've been to some that are more expensive and it still doesn't best this place. Breakfast is so so, but service is top of the top.. U won't regret it! I came back 3 times ( once for a few days, booked a halong tour came back to stay, booked a sapa tour and I'm back here again).

Walking dist to everywhere. Make sure u mark down ur street name and everything, it may get hard to find at night cause there are no lights in the hostel front after 12!

Great stay in the middle of the old quarter

The hotel is rated highly in TripAdvisor with good reason.
The stay was very pleasant. The location is in the middle of the old quarter. The staff is friendly and trustworthy. They were a great help with booking travel around northern Vietnam. In each case, I was happy with the tour group I was placed with. It seems they work with the better ones.
I'd happily stay with them again.

Good location, Excellent service

The rooms are good, spacious and clean. The main reason to stay though is for the staff information. They spoke English and everyone on staff at the front desk was informative and helpful. Also good location within walking distance to many attractions and cafe Comga on the corner was good.

great location, price, and staff

Great location and got a great deal for a dou le. Room was very clean. The main woman who worked the desk was awesome and helpful and super friendly. The younger girl who worked the desk on our last day was rude and cared more about her cell phone than anything else and is the only reason I didn't give the service a 5 rating. Good thing she only worked 1 night. Good, but not great, breakfast too. I would recommend.

Staff great but building needs work!

Ok, so we chose this place because the location was good, price was right & reviews pretty good for budget accom. A number of accom options hence the Hostel moniker. We had \"deluxe\" private rooms apparently! Staff great, helpful & friendly, tried their hardest BUT the product they are working with needs a lot of work. We (6 pax) ended up staying for 5 nights mainly because we were out each day on tours etc & it was convenient, but in the end it wore us down & we couldn't wait to be out of there. Biggest problem was the dampness & persistent probs with aircons & remotes that didn't work (very unhealthy & we weren't the only ones to comment/complain). Plumbing also a major issue. Bathrooms awash, no floormats, leaking sinks and bath tubs. Linen was clean & changed daily but threadbare & one only small towel each barely adequate. Plaster & paint peeling off the walls; step into the bathroom came away each time it was touched.
Breakfast very basic, but the young lads who served were fun & friendly & did their best. Has a lift which is very welcome. If you used the stairs you were competing for space with boxes, ladders & all manner of clutter, & it was always dark (I slipped & hurt myself badly). Thank heavens there wasn't a fire. Health & safety inspectors in Aus would have a field day. I think Expedia and others listing these premises need to check the accuracy of info because what you see in the pictures is NOT what you find upon arrival. We wont be back.

Staff could not have been more helpful

We had an issue with our bank cards- all of which were being declined- and the staff were incredibly patient and helpful in aiding us in contacting banks in the UK.
They were also indispensable in helping us book trains and buses and taxis and boat trips at very reasonable rates. When we came back to Hanoi for the day but weren't staying with them they let us store our luggage with them for the day before we caught our final train out of Hanoi.
The beds are the MOST comfortable!! And the showers good pressure and plenty of hot water.
Highly recommend!

Central Hotel - Cold Room

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights after a long international flight to arrive in Hanoi. Reception staff were friendly and gave good recommendations for food on the free map. My only issue is that my room was really cold - the sheets felt damp and it took ages to warm up in bed. This might be a good thing in summer months, but if you stay in January when it's not that warm up north, this may be something to bear in mind.

I stayed here for out nights in the end. It was clean and the Staff were always helpful and nice. Very friendly bunch of people. It's always a nice touch when they also learn your name.
Hanoi is a busy city so I am not sure if there's too many places in the old quarter that u can escape the noise that to me is the only downfall of this hotel.

I would recommend this hotel.

The room was quite simple but not so bad. The air conditioner hasn't worked under some cold weather like 10 degC and in the bathtub the hot water had stopped when filling then it was cold to use it. You can enjoy good access to the old quarter, but for me the impression about this stay was something cold, accompanied with cold weather occasionally hit onto my stay.

We booked a visit at this hotel but when we arrived they said our room was not available. Instead we got another room in another hotel. Lower quality, half of the stars, not that nice but it was okay for two nights. A gym was suppose to be included but when we asked after the gym they didn't wanted to show us until the next morning - not sure if it existed?

Breakfast included, good location.

Bon rapport qualité/prix

Les plus : la localisation, chambre grande et correcte, la jeune femme à l'accueil présente la journée est très gentille et arrangeante, les excursions proposées de qualité

Les moins : le petit déjeuner très limité, service de lingerie trop cher, l'accueil est parfois laissé à un homme ne parlant pas un mot d'anglais ! (même le traducteur ni fait rien..), le personnel de nuit pas très agréable

Super!

Vi hamnade visserligen på ett annat hotell av samma ägare eftersom det blivit knas med rummet (inte hotellets utan en gästs fel), men spenderade ändå tillräckligt med tid på hanoi city hostel för att bedöma. Rummen var fräscha, bra wifi och ägaren ms. Moon är otroligt hjälpsam. Frukosten är rolig (man får välja en maträtt och en dryck, sen får man en banan också) och om man har tur får man ett extra bröd! Jättebra för priset man betalat

Kaldt og vått rom.

Vi bestilte henting på Hanois flyplass. Han som skulle hente oss satt på en benk og spilte på sin iPad, og først etter å ha ventet en halvtime og ringt hotellet så kom han bort til oss. Han kunne ikke ett ord engelsk. Jeg var i Vietnam i to uker og det var først på vei fra flyplassen at jeg følte meg utrygg i trafikken. Personalet på selve hotellet var vennlig. Rommet var rått, kaldt og møkkete. Skikkelig ukoselig. Vi sov en natt på hotellet før vi bestemte oss for å avbestille de to neste nettene. Styr unna.
