The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hanoi Airport Hostel is the only hostel option available near the Hanoi International Airport. However, the service provided by the staff is poor, and the taxi prices quoted by the hostel are much higher than flagging down a passing taxi on the streets. The hostel is also prone to blackouts due to the old age of the building. Wi-Fi and towels are provided to guests for free.
The Location
The hostel is located five kilometers away from the airport. There are footpaths that lead all the way from the airport to the hostel, but there are neither shops nor shelter for guests to take a break along the road. Guests can also request for airport transfer from the hostel, though it is much cheaper to simply hail a taxi. There are very limited shops around the hostel, most of which closes early. Hence, guests who would like to resupply, refuel, or have a meal should do it earlier in the day to avoid disappointment.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Rooms come with weak air conditioning, which does not cool the entire room. The room is extremely cramped and there is barely any space for guests to sit or walk around the room. Beds and pillows are extremely comfy, and the bed frames are sturdy. Lockers with built-in locks are also provided under the bed. However, hostel staff do not allow guests to lock the room even at night, so guests must take extra precautions with their valuables.
There is only one bathroom cubicle en suite to the room, so guests may have to queue up to use the bathroom. The bathroom is extremely well equipped with soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, and comb provided to all guests for free. Toilets are Western-styled, and warm showers are also available with good water pressure.
Common Spaces
There is a small TV lounge beside the reception area with two rows of sofas. However, guests generally do not hang out here, and the hostel does not serve any food. Hence, guests might find it harder to socialise and make new friends in this hostel.
Summary
Hanoi Airport Hostel is great if guests have an early-morning flight to catch. Otherwise, guests are better off selecting a hostel from Hanoi city where there are more amenities and shops catering to tourist needs.
