About

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Prime Old Quarter location — Steps from Beer Street and within walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake and the Hanoi Night Market.
- Lively rooftop bar — A dedicated space for evening socialising, with happy hour and city views.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the team's helpfulness, from booking tours to providing wake-up calls.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No on-site parking — The property doesn't list parking, so you'll need to rely on public transport or the paid shuttle.
- Mixed guest scores — With an overall rating of 7.3 and several 6/10 reviews, expectations should be set for a basic, social hostel rather than a polished hotel.
- Noise from the bar area — The rooftop bar and lively social scene may carry into the night, which could be a downside for light sleepers.
