Detailed Reviews
Overall I had a great stay here and without a doubt a fun hostel - there’s always activities and something happening every night, and staff here do a really great job organizing all the events, tours and activities. If you are a sociable person, this is also a great place to meet other travelers. Location is fantastic and super convenient, just step out and go to any cafe, restaurant or shop just around the French Quarter. Also convenient that there is an ATM in the lobby to withdraw cash, and staff is there to help you book and join some tours.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for 2 nights and we had a very good time. Great atmosphere, cheap drinks in comparison to the rest of the bars that are nearby and the beds were spacious and cost. Well air conditioned too. Sam one of the women who works there was very kind and helpful, she also gave us lots of great suggestions for food and places to visit. Well worth staying when you’re in hanoi if you’re looking for a bit of a party.

Excellent hostel in the heart of Hanoi. The hostel is well located, comfortable and clean, and has a lively bar/restaurant. The atmosphere is very social, it is possible to make friends with other travelers. Every day in the late afternoon they give out free beer at the bar. I would definitely stay again

I could not reccomend this hostel more highly! Best customer service I have ever experienced!! I came to Vietnam without a plan and Huy from the travel team helped me create an itinerary based on my interests including booking all the transport (most incredibly a speedboat across Ha Long Bay at sunset) and day trips. He went above and beyond to support me throughout my trip (even after I left the hostel) including by giving me his direct contact details. It was like having a free travel
All the other staff were really friendly, made me feel very welcome! Particularly one of the travel team walked me to the free walking tour when I was running late so I wouldn't miss out.
Also, just a lovely hostel overall - clean, well air-conditioned, big showers, social but not too loud!

First impressions, it has a bad odor on the ground floor, but the rooms smelt fine. There was karaoke and 2for1 cocktails in the evening which was fun. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
We are two girls and stayed in a mixed gender room and had no problems, we barley saw our room mates.
We had breakfast in the morning and it was a good price and good quality.
The staff were really friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect, near lots of places to eat and directly in the city centre.

This hostel is all one solo traveller can wish for… it has that “home away from home” vibe to it and the staff is extremely kind and helpful, especially Ha and Grace. Not only did they store our stuff for days when we travelled around but also helped us with personal issues. It’s so much fun cause they got all these themed nights like karaoke, beer pong, pub quiz… besides, it’s right in the centre where pretty much everything is and a short distance from all the monuments and landmarks.
Also, a shoutout to Ha and Grace who helped us organize the Ha Giang loop which was INCREDIBLE to say the least.
So if you’re thinking on where to stay, don’t waste your time looking for another place. Doesn’t get better than this for a solo traveller. Believe me.

Very good hostel, great location and rooms are superb, I recommend doing the free walking tour with Quang, he was amazing! The hostel is great for the price and there is loads of food and shops around the hostel. It’s also a great place to meet fellow travellers.

Great place to stay as a traveller, solo or as a group, staff are really friendly and make you feel at home. Definitely worth staying here if you visit Hanoi, the best member of staff was Huy who was hilarious, played cards with us every night and even came out with us at night for our last night. The free beer isn’t too bad either…

I was only planning on staying in Hanoi for 4 days but ended up staying almost 2 weeks. Mainly due to the staff and people staying at mad monkey being some of the nicest people I've ever met. Especially Quang and Sam who really made me feel at home during my stay. Quang really gets the party started every night and is happy to chat to anyone. I also went on the ha giang loop bike tour with mad monkey. This has to be one of the best experiences of my travels.
