I Backpacked Solo Through Vietnam – How It Helped Me Heal

"Arriving at Central Backpackers Hostel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, I was immediately thrust into the city’s chaos and energy; the hostel’s rooftop terrace hosted a free pub crawl where I quickly met other travelers from around the world, which felt like the perfect, safe way to experience Hanoi’s nightlife and make friends as a solo traveler." - Sophie Mendel Sophie Mendel Sophie Mendel is an editor at Travel + Leisure, where she assigns, edits, and publishes the product reviews and recommendations that help guide travelers toward the best shoes, apparel, accessories, and hotels for their needs.

The 6 Best Hostels in Hanoi (Updated 2025)

"I found this an energetic, great-value party hostel — there’s a nightly party that winds down around 11pm so you can still sleep decently — and it offers lots of free perks like breakfast, beer during happy hour, walking tours, and a nightly pub crawl. The dorms are a bit dated and not huge, but beds have curtains, individual lights and plugs, and lockers, and the mattresses are fairly comfy for a party hostel. My favorite spot was the outdoor terrace, which is a nice place to relax with a drink after a day of exploring." - Matthew Kepnes

This place was great. Probably my favourite hostel by far in Vietnam. The location was good, the hostel was cozy, clean, well maintained and had the most comfiest beds I’ve slept on with a full on duvet. It made me feel like I was home. The locker size is huge which is great for backpackers with 60L bags and probably fit an addition small back in there. The bathroom ensuite is is small but really clean, showers were really nice and warm. The rooms and washrooms were cleaned first thing in the morning and always seemed like it was cleaned twice a day. The free breakfast is not too bad, but had a beautiful rooftop to enjoy your food.

I travelled to Hanoi alone and this hostel really helped me meeting new people. They have pub crawl every night and free beers at 7pm. The front desk very helpful. Overall a great place to stay.

Stayed for 3 nights and this place is so accessible and clean. They offer free breakfast, and free beer every night. They also have shampoo, body wash, and towel so you won’t really need to bring some. They also have lockers in the room and a mini light beside your bed. I especially love their duvet bcs it’s so warm and fluffy. I slept so well.

Very social hostel. The organize a free beer in the evening in order to meet new backpackers. The included breakfast was unreal (shoutout to the potato wedges and made on demand eggs). The rooms had great privacy but were a bit small and my locker started ringing randomly? Otherwise, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was also great!

This is my favourite hostel in vietnam and i have been in a few. The atmosphere is great, if you want to meet new people- the staff really makes it easy. Breakfast sooo good, they make eggs of your choice and its all you can eat buffet. Also the beer hour is full of people and has a great atmosphere

Couldn't fault it! Central location. Rooftop views. COMFORTABLE beds. In-dorm bathroom, because everyone hates a shared bathroom, at least this one was only shared between six people and not 30 plus. FREE breakfast. FREE BEER for an hour. Nightly pub crawls from 11pm. Daily free walking tours. Filtered drinking water. Tourism advice for activities, trustable eSIM providers, and money converters. Would happily come back. Unfortunately on the first night I got wicked food poisoning. Not their fault though... But there was no free rooms the night after I had booked so had to change accommodation...

We did the Ha Giang Loop with this hostel. It was amazing. Our group leader was Quang and he was very helpful and did a great job. All the accommodation we stayed at were very clean, comfy beds and staff were very friendly. My easy rider Chawan was brilliant too and made sure we had the best time. Would highly recommend!

Had the best time doing the Ha Giang loop with this company! Everyone is so kind and helpful. Very accommodating and really clean! Quang was our group leader and he was really great! Xay was my easy rider and he was amazing, felt very safe. I definitely recommend and I will be returning for sure💜
