I can’t recommend this hostel enough. I stayed here twice during my time in Vietnam and would definitely return. It’s very clean and new, the staff is super helpful and always available. The owner kindly helped me to find a suitable company for the Ha Giang loop and Ha Long Bay. The location is also great, a bit far out of the old town which is actually an advantage if you’re looking to stay in a bit calmer area, yet with many great restaurants and cafes around. Also, for CrossFit enthusiasts, the box is just a few minutes walk away :)

My boyfriend and I initially booked 1 week and we've been extending for almost 2 months now! Rooms are very wide with tall ceilings, very clean, and beautiful. May is an absolutely wonderful host. She takes care of all the details; sometimes she cooks delicious vietnamese food for the guests, and she is always extremely kind and helpful. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, but also close to busier areas with restaurants and shops. Also, I work from home and wifi is very very good. Honestly, it couldn't be any better!!

The units are equipped with air conditioning, a dishwasher, a microwave, a kettle, a walk-in shower, slippers and a dressing room. A balcony with an outdoor dining area and river views is offered in all units. At the guest house, all units have bed linen and towels.

Spacious and clean room with a desk, air purifier and a/c (with heater option for the cold months!). Nice bathroom with hot water and towels provided. The family is incredibly generous and hospitable. They gave us warm jackets to wear as we only had summer clothes haha, and often shared food with us. We could get water and cook in their kitchen independently too. They also did our laundry without charge. Definitely recommended if you prefer to be located outside of the city, or if you want to work online (as we did). There is a bus that you can take to get to the centre for cheap.

A minimarket is available at the guest house.

Popular points of interest near the guest house include Thang Long Water Puppet Theater, Hoan Kiem Lake and St. Joseph Cathedral. The nearest airport is Noi Bai International Airport, 24 km from Hanoi Old Quarter.

Great place, doesnt look like much from the outside, the rooms like back in a european-style inner courtyard and are great. Bare in mind, its not a hotel, its a home-stay and they'll send you codes to get in the door and to get your room key. Great location in the heart of the old quarter.

    perfect stay! I booked for 3 days, and I’ve been extending for another 3 days. The rooms are very nice, clean, and comfortable. May is a great host. She helps me to make my hanoi itinerary , takes care of all the guests, cooks delicious Vietnamese food for the guests, and is always kind and helpful. And location-wise, May’s house is very safe and quiet, and you can easily find food shopping areas; it’s 3 to 4 minutes away. I must say that if you’re looking to stay in Hanoi, May’s house is like your home.

    Nice, quiet hostel. The breakfast is good if you get there early (6.30-7.30). The curtains make the beds quite private which is nice. Decent aircon. Great location.

    Great host and good location, very quiet at night but still has easy access to pub street and train street. Sorted a cheap taxi for us to the airport when we were leaving and gave good recommendations for food and where to visit. The host was amazing the nicest woman we met in the whole of Vietnam will definitely be coming to stay again, everything perfect

    Everything war absolutely amazing. The hosts are incredibly friendly and they are supporting you in every possible way. We stayed for 5 nights and came back for another night. Our room (suite with balcony) has everything we needed and was big enough to pack/unpack 2 big backpacks. The whole guest house was very clean. The hotel itself is situated in a quiet street, even though you are directly in the heart of the city.

    Host : Mr. Tien is the most nice person I met during my trip. He is always at the lobby or one message away to answer my questions about bus tickets, restaurant recommendations and he even made sure I got the best Ninh Binh day trip. Hanoi Boutique House is a great place, great location and great value for your money. WiFi was okay. Located in the wet market which is a bonus because you can buy fresh fruits. Room was clean, Shower was okay. Coffee and tea available at the lobby.

    compared with the city center and the old town, this place is very calm and provides different shops where you get grocceries, haircut, meals, etc. for cheap prices. By using Grab, one can reach any other spot of the city comfortably. The host was very kind and communicative.

    Great location, right at heart of Hanoi Old Quarter but not noisy as Ngo Gach is a charming & quiet street. The host is super friendly & supportive. She gave tons of valuable advise for us
