The 6 Best Hostels in Hanoi (Updated 2025)

"I found this lively, energetic hostel always buzzing with events — live music and DJ nights happen every single night — and it has a rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant. I liked that they give you a bracelet at check-in so you can charge food and drinks to your room, and that things shut down at midnight so you can still balance partying and sleeping. The dorms are spacious with individual fans, curtains, USB chargers, comfy mattresses, and top bunks with angled ladders that make access easy; there are female-only dorms too. Showers have weak water pressure but everything is clean, breakfast is a tasty free meal with veg options, and the volunteer staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome." - Matthew Kepnes
