Hanoi Hostel

Hanoi


This small, quiet, privately owned hostel is nicely located away from Hanoi's conglomeration of hostels. It's popular, well run and clean, with tours on tap and plenty of information about onward travel to China or Laos. The homestay option puts you in a family-owned house in the Old Quarter.
