The Drift Backpackers Hostel

Amazing! You wont find better.
Such awesome owners, 100% ready for a laugh, theyve put everything into the design of this place. It's clean, new, and so comfortable. You'll want to be stuck here for a few days. They'll help sort you out with your trip to Halong bay and even let you keep your bags there. I loved this place, the food was great and the TV was ace. Massive and stocked with goodies. I loved my stay here.

Easily the best hostel I've stayed in.
I found out about this place by recommendation when I got into Hanoi by a couple of people that were staying there already. They seemed so excited about the place and I didn't really like the other backpackers I was staying at so I thought I'd check it out. Such an awesome place. The owners are three Aussies and they just opened the place at the end of June and are so nice and friendly. They really have done a great job on the place. The design is really cool, not just a thrown together sort of place. The rooms are really comfy, proper bunks and lockers. Private bathrooms in all the dorms are really good, and the air con in the rooms is great. Really cool vibe in this place. Music playing down in reception and into the cafe is always good, and the food was always awesome. A western menu which is good when you get back from being out in the city all day. They've put in an awesome movie room with a big plasma on the wall, and surround sound. We chilled out and watched a few movies on this which was awesome! And the bar on the rooftop is probably the best thing. Pool table as well and wicked views over the city especially at night. It was sad actually having to leave this place. The staff and the owners were so good to not just me but everyone I saw in there. Check it out for sure, it's probably the best hostel I've ever been to.
