Location

Situated down a small, quiet lane just 1 block north of the steps of the St Joseph's Cathedral in the centre of town and 3 minutes walk to Hoan Kiem Lake. The hostel is perfectly located to explore Hanoi's Old Quarter.

The hostel is just 300ms north of the Airport shuttle stop located at 1 Quang Trung St and 1km from the Hanoi Train Station.

Hanoi International Airport is approximately 45min to 1 hour from the centre
of Hanoi. Airport shuttles ($3US/person) and taxis ($16-$20US) are available from the arrivals terminal.

A hassle free airport transfer can be arranged from as little as $23US for a 4 seat car or $25US for a larger 7 seat people mover. To have us arrange a driver to meet you when you arrive at Hanoi International Airport use the contact form to the right to send your flight details.

Be aware some shuttle and taxi drivers, operating from the airport, train and bus stations accept commissions for taking unsuspecting travellers to budget hotels that claim to work with us.

In fact the Hanoi Backpackers' Hostel is situated on a lane too narrow for shuttle buses and taxis to drive down. So if the shuttle bus or taxi stops directly outside a hotel you have been taken to the wrong address.

If you find yourself in this situation decline politely and make your way to the St Joseph's Cathedral (photo above) on Nha Tho Street and ask one of the cafes or restaurants to point you in the direction of the Hostel.
