About DOWNTOWN

Right in the heart of Hanoi's old quarter, Downtown Hostel is the biggest hostel in Vietnam, and is known for its legendary bar. With nightly events, Downtown is a constant hive of activity. It's close to delicious street food, cheap Bia Hoi spots (local fresh beer), and pumping nightlife. The hostel has a bustling travel desk servicing full country travel planning; along with a fifth floor hangout space, flush with a large tv, football table, pool table, and computers.

GETTING THERE

Hanoi International airport is approximately a 45 mins to 1 hour drive to the hostel. Getting local metered taxis will cost you around $25-30 USD and are available from the arrivals terminal.

We can help to organize a safe and hassle free airport transfer from as little as $23 USD for a 4 seat car OR $25 USD for a larger 7 seat private car. We can help to organize a driver to meet you when you arrive at the airport if you book below or under the tab “more”.

Be aware that some taxi drivers operating at airports, train stations and bus stationsmay be accepting commissions from other hostels claiming to work with us.

Downtown hostel is unmistakable with its large metallic red lettered sign above the sliding glass doors. If you find yourself in a situation where you have been taken to the wrong address, politely decline and make your way to Ma May Street where local shops and restaurants should be able to point you in the right direction.

REVIEWS

Honestly just go! We wanted to meet a whole bunch of travellers, explore Hanoi and party hard and we weren't disappointed. The staff are epic. From the moment we walked in the door! Not only did they make all the admin stuff easy and gave us a helping hand to surviving Hanoi but believe me these guys know how to have a good night out. Downtown is located right in the middle of Hanoi and everything is walking distance. From shoe street to coffee and pho, whatever you want you can get and the guys at reception are more than happy to show you the way. So from one traveller to another, go and have the time of your life!

The perfect hostel if you want to meet lots of new friendly people. Everybody shares good advice and stories about their travels which really helps. The parties each night are great fun, and the VBH crew take you out each night to a local club. Food & drink is great, beds are comfy, lockers good, great location, free water refills.
