Located in the action spot. Lots of Western tourists, bars, restaurants. Noise, cars, loud speaker blaring someone doing anoucements, music, bass pounding through the walls of room. No locker key for lockers in room. Air conditioner did not turn on. Sink in bathroom barely drained.

Cheap stay.mp
For the price it was worth it. I booked the private two bedder for myself. It’s a tiny room which makes for an interesting experience for a hostel first timer. Front desk was really friendly. Good food nearby. Room floor was swept however there was visible accumulation of dust in the corners and along the threshold of the doorway. Otherwise beds were clean, bathroom was clean and dry when I got there in the evening. Oh! Beds are also long so it’s perfect even for those who are 6’2”...

Hotel had a good location. Beside this the hotel was very disappointing, leaking roof, broken WiFi, tiny rooms, flooded toilets/shower- overall lack of hygiene.

The room was basic but functional. The reception staff were lovely but the room was not cleaned while we were there.

2/10 Poor

The worst experience ever
I needed a place where my friend and I could keep the luggages and rest for an hour or two before our midnight flight. We booked a private room for two people and the space was tight but just as described and be seen in the photos. I usually don't write a review but this hostel's condition was the WORST I've ever seen. The AC unit looked like it was never cleaned and was not cool enough at all. I found hair on the bed sheets. Forget about the bathroom locks, the door doesn't even fit to be closed!! It really felt like the showers and toilets weren't cleaned for at least three days(I didn't intend to shower anyway luckily). There were wet towels on the bathroom floors(imagine using these on your skins even if they are cleaned!) and half-used travel-sized bottles everywhere on the shelves. Also, the staff forgot to tell us that we needed to return the room key AND the AC remote control when we check out, so we had to run all the way to the room again. If you want a place to drop your luggage, this might be okay, but seriously, you get what you pay. However, if you are thinking about sleeping here, booking this hostel will guarantee the worst travel experience.

It's literally a bed in a box.
If you're looking for a quick place to rest this is a great solution. If you're wanting a place to hang and relax this is the worst solution. There is hardly any room to even change clothes or turn all the way around. But great if you need to crash.

Good budget hostel
While the room is undeniably small, you do get your own twin room with air con, comfortable clean beds and in the middle of the old quarter. We stayed here three separate occasions because of the price and comfort.

A Briton in Asia
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Beds are small but reasonably comfortable. Area is full of life and a great experience. Hotel "Tour Guide" was unfortunately more interested in her sales/commission rather than actually helping me with travel advice. Overall, a great stay!

Amazingly friendly staff - it’s like being embraced in a family at this hostel. Equally, you can choose to remain distant from that but yet still get the excellent customer service they offer. Tour booking from there was exceptional and the guides were friendly, funny and informative.

Nice bed, a little hard but plenty of space. Little locker for your valuables in your bed space and a larger one, as you walk in, for your luggage. I liked that each bed had a roller blind for privacy as well as a light and electric sockets. The area it is in is unfortunately loud and noisy otherwise great stay.

Yeah, just give her a go
Same as last time, this place is comfy and cheap, the staff are chillers who speak English well enough and it's right in the centre of what's going down in Hanoi. Just give it a crack, mad spot.

I mean yeah, she's 'right.
Box hotel is very adequate in a hostel, it's quiet for the most part, although Friday to Sunday there is the street markets which pump music until 12 but it's right there as well so the location is great. Blankets were changed every day as well as a clean towel too and floors/rubbish cleaned. Free breakfast was toast, eggs and some bacon which is totally sweet and free coffee and tea when ever you want too. All in all, enjoyable stay and cheap enough too.

overall it was nice. I met many nice people and the place was conveniently located. however there are cons to being right smack in the middle of town - the noise. both traffic and loud music from the surrounding bars. the staff were nice enough, and were willing to help with some requests (asking for room change, fixing the at-times shoddy wi-fi, and giving extra toiletries). overall a pretty good experience.

Convenient location but not a fan of the bed
Dirty bed - LOTS of black hairs? Make sure you check when you get to the room and ask them for new sheets if necessary. There are other hotels in the area where you can get a full-sized room and private bathroom for only like 2 USD more - definitely worth it. Also bed is hard if you like that, but pillows are nice and soft.
