Hanoi Backpackers Hostel & Rooftop bar

This hostel is a great find and perfect for a short stay. The main positive it is very popular with a range of people coming through everyday so great to catch-up with people and find out about where to go, what to do. The rooftop bar is the main meeting spot and you can find people up there to hang out throughout the day but especially in the evening. Staff are polite and helpful. I stayed in a private room which was great, pretty much hotel quality and including a mini bar, towels, etc. Then a shared dorm for the night which was fine, clean and fairly comfortable, the bathroom could use more towels/additional bath matt/paper towel to clean a little between use but otherwise fine. Location is good too as very central in the Old Quarter, busy at night and especially at the weekend so expect a level of noise but it's tucked just off the main road. Nearby there are some great restaurants, bars, the lake, water puppet show and it's a short walk to other sights. Definitely recommend this hostel!
