Hotels and Accommodation near Hanoi Oldtown Nomad Hostel

We arrived around 2 pm. There was no one in the hotel. All the doors of the hotel rooms were open with the keys in the doors. We called the phone number at the reception. A short time later a guy who I feel sorry for turned up on a motorcycle. He gave us our room number. Getting to the room is a whole other story. 5 floors up. In the room there was no TV. The AC did not work. There was an obscured window in the room. When I went downstairs to the reception the guy said you want a TV? That 's what we paid for, I replied! So I went back up the stairs and got a TV from 1 room, a remote from another and batteries for both the TV and AC from another room. Still didn't see anyone else. As for the bed my wife got covered in bed bug bites down her side which ended up getting infected from the bedding. The bites are only healing now. The fiberglass shower base was broken in the middle. Broken right through to the floor. We had to stand on the edge of the shower base to shower. Being careful not to cut our legs on the broken fiberglass. There was no drinking water, coffee or tea provided. But there was a kettle. When asked at reception about drinking water coffee etc advised not included. So off we went to buy some. The hotel is located in a great location. As we were only staying 1 night my wife and I treated it as an adventure. We live in Hoian. We have travelled all over Vietnam for many years. This hotel is by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in in the world. I'm 70. If the room rate was cheaper it would suit a skinny backpacker who would not fall through the crack in the shower base and is not allergic to bed bugs! The hotel is nothing like the ad photos. We didn't take photos as we didn't want the guy at reception to lose his job for something completely out of his control.

The private room was so bad, I didn't even have space move my body so the next day I asked to change to dorm and it was better. They should take care better of bathrooms, that the only thing that 's unacceptable.

If you want a hotel in old quarter that is centre of everything. This is it clean room nice breakfast nice staff everything. If I ever back to Hanoi again. This is where I absolutely will stay

The room is clean & staff are courteous, helpful and friendly especially the porter named Duong who picked me up and escorted me to the hotel during the street closure over the weekend market. Perfect location with walking distance to the night market and lots of good local & international restaurants including street vendors.

The hostel location is very strategic in the central of Hanoi, Old Quarter area. The hostel staffs are very friendly and helpful. We're enjoying our stay here. Thank you so much!

Hotel is too old and smelly. And crazy noisy. You can not sleep at night at all

Very nice people, even my booked room was not ok, but the manager changed another room for me and satisfied my option, they are friendly and helpful all the way, I am very pleased and grateful to them, many thanks.

Everything is great. I really love their food. If you stay in this hotel, or just visiting Hanoi, you have to try their food! For the receptionis, I think can be more nicer, polite and genuine in helping people. Overall, my stay was a nice experience there.

Good hotel, recommend, helpful.

Nice staff, good breakfast, best location. 😊👍✨
