Well set in the Hoan Kiem district of Hanoi, Bông Hà Nội hostel is located 1.2 km from Hoan Kiem Lake, 800 metres from Thang Long Water Puppet Theater and 1.4 km from St. Joseph Cathedral. The property is set 2 km from Imperial Citadel, 2 km from Imperial Citadel and 2.8 km from Vietnam Fine Arts Museum. The property is a few steps from Hanoi Old City Gate, and within less than 1 km of the city centre.

LOCATION: This was fantastic, everything you need is in walking distance or a very cheap grab away. DORM: I had a bottom bunk on the first floor of rooms and it was amazing. It even had a window which was a pleasant surprise as most hostels I've stayed in don't have windows, or there is just one at the end of the room, but having my own window was good because I enjoy having the natural light. STAFF: At any time of the day they are always there and happy to help with any questions. They are very well spoken and knowledgeable which made planning future day trips + the Ha Giang Loop very simple. HA GIANG LOOP: Going on from my previous point, booking the Ha Giang Loop four day tour with this hostel was the perfect decision. The booking was roughly $350 AUD for 4d3n which included all meals on the loop, transport to and from Ha Giang City, and an awesome easy rider. I had Ha Van Tho (Thomas) as my driver who is seriously one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. Even at our overnight accommodation along the loop (all included in the cost) he would spend time and hang out with me and it was awesome to really connect with him and the other drivers to learn more about the local culture and way of life. HOSTEL FACILITIES: No complaints with the toilets/showers. Definitely above the expected standard for a hostel, I never felt uncomfortable and the staff take cleanliness and hygiene very seriously. SUMMARY: You can't go wrong with staying here on your visit to Hanoi. Whether you are looking for a reliable hostel to provide you plentiful options for the Ha Giang Loop, or you simply just need a comfortable and affordable stay in Hanoi, this is the place to go. If I ever visit Hanoi again I will without a doubt be staying here.

This place was amazing! It was clean, well maintained and the staff were so lovely and accommodating. I really enjoyed that the hotel was away from the craziness of the Old Quarter but still a cheap and quick ride away. The building itself is absolutely stunning and the hotel is a walk away from so many bars and restaurants.

The rooms felt really clean and safe. Great location in the old quarter, we could walk everywhere. There was a split system in the room so we could use the heater when it got a bit chilly. Can also operate as an air conditioner for when it’s hot.

    Great location just out of the busy area of the old quarter but still within walking distance. Very quiet inside the rooms. Must be sound proofed well. We had one of the cheaper rooms one night and the terrace another night. After staying in the heart of the busy old quarter the night before with the noise.. this was a nice change. I would choose to stay here next time in Hanoi for sure. Very friendly, helpful staff.

    I can highly recommend this place for backpackers. It's very cheap and located in the centre of the old quarter. It's a small hostel and you have to share a bathroom with 12 people but it was still very cozy. I met a lot of nice people during my stay here. The host was very friendly and helping with organising tours.
