    I indulged in a lavish a la carte breakfast at this hostel. They even had the audacity to offer an American breakfast option. What a delightful start to my day!

    Who needs privacy when you can have a glass door straight into the toilet? It's such a unique experience hearing all the bathroom noises from your room.

    I indulged in a decadent a la carte breakfast, pretended to be a fancy traveler hiring a bike, and daydreamed of being chauffeured in a car. Pure luxury.

    Oh, what's there to complain about? Just the inconvenience of the nearest airport being too far away.

    I got great value for my money at this hostel. The room was clean and comfortable, and I liked the privacy provided by the curtains on the beds. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the old quarter but tucked away in a quiet alley. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

    The only thing that could have made the breakfast better was a wider variety of options.

    I had a fantastic stay at the Hanoi Banana Hostel. The hostel was so clean and the beds were comfortable. I loved that they had blinds for privacy, giving the room a studio apartment feel. The staff were friendly and even met us at the airport to walk us to the hostel. They also helped us organize airport transfers through WhatsApp. The free breakfast was amazing with a variety of options like eggs, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and juice. I'll definitely recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, comfort, and great staff.

    The location of the hostel is excellent, being close to many touristy scenes and lively nightlife. It is also walkable to restaurants and cafes, yet still quiet. the staff is very helpful, making guests feel like they're at home. They serve fresh and delicious breakfast, and the social areas make it easy to make friends.

    The bathroom areas feel cramped, which can be inconvenient.

    From the moment I arrived, the staff made sure I had everything I needed and took care of me. the dormitory was clean and comfortable, and there were plenty of common areas to relax and hang out. As someone who teaches online, I was thrilled to find that the hostel had quiet spaces where I could conduct my classes without any disturbance. the manager and employees were all incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. the location was convenient and easy to reach from the airport.

    It was the perfect place to start my trip in Vietnam.

    During our recent stay at Hanoi Banana, we were impressed by the modern and clean facilities. The beds were comfortable, and the individual nooks provided a sense of privacy. The common rooms were cool and stylish, with comfortable sofas and an accessible kitchen. We especially appreciated the friendly and fun staff, particularly Lee and Lena, who made our stay even better. The location was also great, being near everything we wanted to explore. we had a pleasant experience at Hanoi Banana and would recommend it to others.

    Great value for money, with comfortable beds and good facilities. The location in the old quarter was perfect for exploring, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The Japanese toilet in the shared bathroom was a pleasant surprise.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety.

    I had a fantastic stay at Banana Hostel! The location was perfect, tucked away from the busy street but still easily accessible to major tourist landmarks. The staff were warm and always ready to help. I loved the new, modern building with its roofdeck area and rooms with balcony views. The beds were comfortable with roll-up shades for privacy, and each bed had its own locker and reading light. The breakfast was delicious, and free tea was available. I highly recommend this hostel for its excellent location and great value for money.
