May De Ville Backpackers Hostel 믹스돔 조식5

One of the better hostels I've been to. The in room shared shower/toilet is a great idea. Free breakfast buffet is nice. Beds are comfortable. The lobby and staff are very nice too. The shower is poorly executed and needs better water flow control and a better exhaust fan. You need to supply your own towel or hire one but the room price of $4-7/bed wouldn't leave room to supply everything.

This hotel was right in the middle of the craziness of Hanoi's old quarter. There were concerts in the streets for my first couple of nights (for the euro cup I believe) which was a lot of fun to see. Don't worry though, they're always quiet again by around 11pm. The staff here were really great and friendly. The breakfast was lovely as well with eggs, bread, pineapple, and really good iced coffee. The location couldn't be better as you're surrounded by restaurants and circle k marts and all of the souvenir shops of old quarter. The wifi also worked really well. The only downfalls: being on the fifth floor with no elevator and a heavy bag, and quite a lot a mold in the bathroom. Other than that the rooms were very spacious and clean. Good place to stay, ask for a room on a lower level of possible!

Don't expect anything fancy here. The hotel / hostel is in a prime location in Old Quarter, which does mean you'll need earplugs if you're going to bed before midnight. After the bars close at that point and upto around 10am it's nice and quiet tho. Breakfast was alright, but again nothing special offering good Vietnamese options and very basic western food, set on the 8th floor. Note that the lift only runs until the 6th floor and there are rooms on the 9th as well. Checkin policy was very strict but fair and luggage storage is available. We had a double room and sheets & linen is provided without extra cost. The room also has a safe free of charge. We used a pickup from the airport, and even though it took an hour to clear passport control we were able to easily arrange the pickup.

Stayed here for two weeks. It is located at the old quarter and very accessible to bars and restaurants. It is also walking distance from the Hoan Kiem Lake. Since it is in the heart of the old quarter (located in the beer street), music can be heard in the room. The washroom is small and it was a bit of a challenge to clean up. There's a hot shower which is a good thing. The AC barely worked during my stay but the staff was very helpful in assisting in making it work. Breakfast is good but they prepare the same menu everyday. Overall, it is a very good hotel at a very affordable price.

First of. The location of the hostel is really good, it is located right next to the "busy" part of the old quarter. The rooms are at a first glance fresh and pretty decent. For the price you are paying I would say that you are getting quite a lot.||For the more negative aspects, the are quite a few. Being located right in the middle of the busy street means that you can not expect it to be quiet. That means forgetting to get any sleep before 23.00 - that is when the streets outside stop playing music. The rooms also have a distinguish smell of sewage - you get used to it, but well. As for our personal experience the beds where full of bed bugs (room 401-408). When we lifted it to the reception a guy followed us up and squashed every bug I could find repeating "no. Dust"... That meaning that the small tiny critters moving in our bed was dust. It was pretty funny to watch as he sometimes had to chase the creature in the bed repeating to himself "dust, dust, dust". Either that guy was insane or he was just the first round of defense to pesky guests trying to complain... Either way we had to go back to the reception with this guy arguing with them about whether the small creatures in our beds where bed bugs or dust. Being used to the hustle here in South East Asia we managed to demand a new room - refund was out of the question. I can easily say we didn't sleep good that night.||All in all, would not recommend this place.

PROS: The location is good and the staff is friendly. Although the outside street is crowded at night but the room keeps it tranquil and calm enough. The host offered me a big room for three, thought I book a single room. So far it is good if you stay around 1 night only.||||CONS: The room is not clean, not modern and not bright. The stairs are little bit dark. The toilet does not offer hot water though the outside weather is pretty cold.

We were attracted by the location in Hanoi's Old Quarter and booked two beds in a 6 bed dorm. As in January it rains all day, the beds, sheets and blankets were disgustingly moist. Maybe also because the shower was located in the tiny room as well, just separated from the rest through glass panels. Big plus: the breakfast buffet in the tenth floor with an AMAZING view over Hanoi. There was a great variety of foods like pho, veggies, toast, fried rice etc. The tea was perfect and they changed some dishes everyday. When we were too exhausted to stay awake until our flight would depart, they managed to get us a bed for three hours and 150k which is pretty nice regarding our situation. All in all, I would not stay again as they also kept our passports which is not common and as sleeping in wet sheets is simply a no go. Still, if you are on a budget and want the party scene and good breakfast, it's a good choice.

The rooms are reasonable. We had a room that was at the back of the building so noise was not too much of a problem, however i imagine the front rooms wouldn’t be great for noise issues. Air con and wifi good - beds comfortable and bathroom basic without a shower screen. There is no lift so be prepared for a workout to get to your room however the staff happily took my bag up to my room. The hotel is very centrally located in the old quarter.
