Hanoi Hostels

I had a 6 AM flight out of Hanoi the next day, so I didn't want to stay in the city. That's why I chose this place inside Noi Bai Airport. While there are some minor downsides, like no shower (maybe there's one in the airport lounge?) and using the shared airport restrooms, being able to sleep until just before check-in, even for an early morning flight, was a huge advantage. The room was comfortable, and I slept soundly without any security worries. As for showers, I recommend taking a quick one at a massage parlor in Hanoi city before heading back to the airport.

One of the worst customer services we have had in more than 6 months in Asia. Upon arrival, the receptionist assigned us two upper beds, despite us arriving at 6:00 AM and having booked weeks in advance. Politely, using both English and a translator, we asked to change to bottom beds, as we noticed upon entering the room that out of the 6 beds, only the two of us had checked in, and we asked if we could be near each other since we are a couple. Her response? ”Impossible! We are fully booked! The system does not allow changes.” Repeatedly. We innocently thought it was a system problem. Since we had a second consecutive reservation, we managed to get her to agree to change us for the second booking. When the day arrived, she moved us to another room, much worse, with bottom beds but separated. We complained to stay in the same room, negotiating for just one bottom bed since it seemed ”impossible” to have both, even though it was 9:00 AM and almost all the beds had been vacated by guests! At first, once again ”impossible,” but after insisting, she agreed to only one bottom bed. When asking to change the top bed because it was right next to the door—which rattled and practically didn't let me sleep for two nights—again: NO, IMPOSSIBLE. After having to ask her several times, she reluctantly agreed and did both changes in ONE minute. Was it THAT difficult? And also, clearly it was NOT a system issue in the end, which was very dissapointing. The beds are comfortable, but if you have a bed in room 3A next to the door, the door mechanism does not cushion the impact and the door makes the entire wall next to your head in the cubicle rattle VERY loudly. They should have a way to muffle the door noise. A LOT of street noise comes in through the balcony door. If you are a light sleeper, better look for another option. The cleaning staff makes a great effort to keep everything clean, as it is a hostel where they don't give you ”slippers”; therefore, all the dirt from the street comes in with your shoes, and when stepping on the wet bathroom floor from the shower, it gets spread everywhere. They give you clean towels every day, which is an interesting plus. In the end, it was a mixed experience, with a very dissapointing aftertaste because of the receptionist treatment. If you are looking for cheap facilities for a short stay, it is good. If you have problem with noise, be careful of room 3A. Location and neighborhood is nice.

It would have been great if there were restrictions on using the water and hairdryer after 11 PM, especially since they're right next to the bed. The bed was really spacious, about a semi-double size. The lockers under the bed also had locks. It seems like the slow draining in the sink hasn't been fixed in ages. It's a much quieter and calmer area compared to the Old Town.

I had a pleasant stay at Urban Slumber. The price was very affordable, which made it a great option for budget travelers. I honestly didn’t expect much at first, but I was surprised by how clean the place was. The room and shared areas were well-maintained and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in process smooth. The facilities were simple but sufficient for a short stay. Overall, it offered great value for money. I would definitely recommend Urban Slumber to anyone looking for a cheap but clean and comfortable place to stay.

Considering the price for this location, it's a good option. There's a table on the first floor where you can use your laptop. Getting into bed is really uncomfortable, and it's so creaky you can't move without making noise. The stairs to the room are so narrow that only slim people can go up, but you can still manage. Having the shower in the room isn't inconvenient, and the air conditioning works great.

It was my first time to experience a youth hostel. The experience of spending New Year's Eve alone was very unique. The hotel is in a unique location, very close to West Lake, and the room is clean, tidy and safe. The owner speaks very good English and is very enthusiastic. Overall, it gave me a great experience. I stayed there for another night after the first day. I still recommend it!

It was a great location, though a bit difficult to find since the place name is different from the one listed here. It’s perfect for backpackers, especially since the hostel doesn’t have an elevator. I am not sure about the AC, but it wasn't working that time. Perfect for budget traveler. The receptionist was very helpful. I availed of the airport transfer in the morning, and they picked me up on time.

I noticed almost imperceptible sweat stains on the pillow. The shampoo and shower gel bottles were almost empty. The air conditioning had a musty smell. However, the room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom was also good. The taxi service was reasonably priced, even cheaper than Grab, but the SIM card was much more expensive than what you could buy in the city. The owner is very friendly.

Can trip.com help this hotel improve when it comes to cleanliness so that no one will be a victim of insects and at least what we paid for is worth it. I cant imagine myself on my stay in this hotel that I jumped out from my bed because the rat pass near my forehead while I was just resting and because of this I was awake until morning. They transfer me to another room but cant still sleep due the noise near my room. They transfer me again for the 3rd room,but I just really survived on my 3rd day because I get tired of telling them. On the third room,there is a fly, ants and other small insects. I dont know how they clean. So traumatic experience with the mouse,in my whole life,first time I experience rat crawling near my forehead and even the rat enjoy big bite on my bread that I place in my bag. Please trip.com,help this hotel improve if possible because I like to book hotels and flights thru trip.com.I was not able to take photos of the rat because of my nervousness that time.

One of my favourite places in hanoi !! Away from crowded area but still close to all attractions
