You get what you pay for here, it being a budget hotel with smallish rooms. The staff are friendly and it was clean so for a couple of nights it can be quite adequate. Would recommend it if you are on a tight budget ,otherwise there are better hotels in Hanoi.

Stayed here twice when it was known as Duc Thai, now renamed as Hanoi City Hostel. Same owner who stays in the hostel. Very good value, 15USD per night for twin room. Stayed for 7 nights (3rd time) Dragon and Hien were very helpful and friendly. One computer for free Internet, free wifi in room. Duong will cooked the eggs... More

I arrived the next day, and sure enough, the iphone had disappeared. I usually hate blaming other people in these... More

Conviniently located, our room was comfortable and roomy. All the staff of the hotel was very friendly and helpfull. We stayed for sixteen nights and felt like being at home. I will always stay in the Duc Thai when visiting Hanoi. can't wait to return.

The hotel is in a great location, and you can easily walk to key attractions in Hanoi. We organised two tours through the hotel, both enjoyable, particularly the one day trip... More
