Amazing hostel to meet new people. Great breakfast and social times without being a party Hostel. Clean rooms, I've never had any bed clean like here. Also you have little shelves and, curtains and lockers by the beds, which adds so much comfort. Location is amazing, in a lively neighborhood, but in a quiet street. So you have the advantage of the proximity, but can sleep peacefully at night.

Set a 2-minute walk from Old City Gate in Hoan Kiem district, Little Charm Hanoi Hostel - Homestay offers elegant accommodation and an Italian-style restaurant on site. It also features an indoor swimming pool, and a bar. Guests can enjoy free WiFi access.

Likely the best hostels I've been i Vietnam. It was clean and cozy and close to a lot of things in Hanoi. The facilities were also good. I booked the Ha Giang Loop through the receptionist Galvin and I had a lot of special requests, which Galvin smoothly and effectively handled all the logistics for me. The Ha Giang Loop also ended up being one of the best experiences for me, so I am very satified.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The rooms felt really clean and safe. Great location in the old quarter, we could walk everywhere. There was a split system in the room so we could use the heater when it got a bit chilly. Can also operate as an air conditioner for when it’s hot.

The location is perfect and I met some lovely fellow travellers! The free walking tour was a great way to see the city and to meet people. The hostel is very sociable but not party which is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for a great stay

    Great location just out of the busy area of the old quarter but still within walking distance. Very quiet inside the rooms. Must be sound proofed well. We had one of the cheaper rooms one night and the terrace another night. After staying in the heart of the busy old quarter the night before with the noise.. this was a nice change. I would choose to stay here next time in Hanoi for sure. Very friendly, helpful staff.

    I can highly recommend this place for backpackers. It's very cheap and located in the centre of the old quarter. It's a small hostel and you have to share a bathroom with 12 people but it was still very cozy. I met a lot of nice people during my stay here. The host was very friendly and helping with organising tours.
