Description
We've never been great fans of the Little Hanoi Hostel, but the addition of a cheap six-bed dorm is starting to sway us. Set on noisy Hang Ga Street, Little Hanoi Hostel has barely adequate rooms both above the ground floor travel agency and at the rear of the guesthouse. If you choose to stay here, we'd strongly recommend taking a back room due to the traffic noise. Some rooms have rather poor security. On a positive note, we've got some good feedback on the staff here, and they offer free pick-up from bus or train station.

Friendliest staff in Vietnam - 
By jhob ( total comments: 3 
) Stayed here 5/2006
We arrived in Hanoi off a hellish day travelling down from China when both myself and my girlfriend were suffering from food poisoning. The staff at little Hanoi hotel could not have done more to help us out when we were in a pretty bad way. That night they took me out on a moped for free to find some remedies for my girlfriend and over the next couple of days they really looked after us. They also managed to get us on a trip to Cuc Phong national park when it looked like none were running at the time. They are the most helpful and genuinely friendly people that we have met in Vietnam - really fantastic!
True, the rooms are nothing to write home about but they are adequate and comfortable. We had a room in the middle of the hotel and didn't find it too noisy at all.
If you like your service with a huge smile you cannot do any better than stay at little Hanoi.

Prince 57 Hotel

We received a very friendly, casual reception on our visit here. When we asked to see a room they tossed us the key and let us go up on our own, and when we forgot to shut the door after leaving, they made us go back and close it! But in a nice way. Really just the kind of folks you're looking for... more
