Description
Based on the name, you might suspect that this is a hostel for backpackers, and it sort of is -- the dorm offers four cheap sleeps for the budget crowd, but the rooms are priced for backpackers with good jobs. The kitschy log-cabin design of the interior is actually kind of fun, and the reception area is given over to a very good Vietnamese restaurant with sleek computer terminals. There's even a wine rack offering a range of foreign vintages. From the outside, the place looks grim, but the rooms inside are bright and cozy, in a green and blue kind of way. The same room will be cheaper if you don't mind hiking up to the 'nose-bleed' rooms on the upper floors. Travelfish users give this place consistently positive feedback, and that includes the tour services available in the lobby. Internet is free to guests, some rooms have ADSL LAN connections and there's WiFi throughout.

Pleasant stay -

We had clean rooms, triple sharing for just US18 a night albeit on the 4th floor of the hostel (they have no lifts). But they did provide great service and bookings to Halong Bay and Sapa and even offered to store our backpacks for us while we were there. Helpful staff made the difference!
Hanoi Youth Hotel, it's great - 
By juliarobertmcg ( total comments: 1 ) Stayed here 7/2007
For a week staying in Hanoi Youth Hotel. I found this hotel is suitable for budget travellers. The hotel has room from 12 USD to 25 USD and there is dorm room of 5 USD/bed. Rooms here are mostly spacious and very clean. The hotel travel desk helped me to get tickets for the tours to Halong, Sapa and Perfume pagoda. It is so interesting to walk around the Old Quarter and the Hoan Kiem lake. Internet and restaurant is very helpful to you. The staff of the hotel is very friendly and helpful, you can have meals in room too.

Artist Hotel
22A Hai Ba Trung St, Hoan Kiem District
The Artist Hotel is an interesting find for those who want to strike out off the tourist track and hang out with, well, artists. The hotel is managed by the Ha Noi Centre for Tourism and Culture (that is, the government) and has decent rooms set around a central courtyard area. We've seen better... more
Prince 79 Hotel
79 Hang Bac St, Hoan Kiem District
The front rooms at the six-storey Prince 79 Hotel have balconies and accordingly catch a bit of street racket, but for an almost-budget room, you could do worse. Rooms are semi-clean, if you don't mind the odd cobweb, and the bathrooms are moderately-sized, though the cheapest rooms do not have... more
Old Darling II and Asia Queen Hotel
16 A-B Trung Yen Lane, Dien Liet St, Hoan Kiem District
This place used to be the most wretched of the 'Darling Backpacker' rip-off outfits -- some users complained of being kicked out of a room simply because someone else showed up willing to pay more! That's rough, even by Hanoi standards. But the offending owners are now gone, and the the Old Darling... more
Tien Thuy Hotel
9 Hang Thung St, Hoan Kiem District
The Tien Thuy is a little bit of a stroll from the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter, but for some travellers that's probably just what the doctor ordered. Friendly, English-speaking staff will show you room after room after room, and while there are just the three price grades, no two rooms seem quite... more
Bamboo Central Stars Hotel
So 8 Dao Duy Tu Lane, Hoan Kiem District
Take note that this place is actually located on a lane that branches to the west of Dao Duy Tu Street, not on the street proper. We've got a lot of intelligence about the Central Stars (we're not sure how the word Bamboo popped up in the name, but there it is) and it seems to boil down to this:... more
A Dong Hotel
46 Luong Noc Quyen St, Hoan Kiem District
Formerly the Van Xuan II Hotel, the A Dong has changed ownership and got its act together. It's no wonder they got rid of the old name -- there were some horror stories circulating about the place. They used to have some cheap rooms, but after being remodelled, they're just outside budget range.... more
Ocean Stars II
So 10 Dao Duy Tu Lane, Hoan Kiem District
This place used to be a rip-off outfit, but the building owner evicted the folks running the old 'Old Darling,' rebranded, and has set up his own place. Ocean Stars now has very a comfortable and well-designed interior, the rooms have been revamped with recessed ceilings, mood lighting and... more
Hanoi Hostel
85 Thuoc Bac St, Hoan Kiem District
We're a little suspicious of Hanoi Hotels with multiple names -- often they're trying to dodge a bad rep they earned under one name, but they're too cheap to change their old signs. Hanoi Hostel (also known as Red River I Hotel), is set on busy Thuoc Bac St, and on our first visit here we struggled... more
Rose Hotel
56 Ngo Huyen Street
The area around the cathedral is a great place to stay -- quiet, pretty, and a lot of interesting restaurants and cafes to check out right near by. So we tried to find some good-value budget accommodation -- unfortunately it seems to be something of a 'flashpacker only' neighbourhood. This place is... more
