Wanderlust Hostel Hanoi

In the heart of Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district, a short walk drops you into the Old Quarter and Cat Linh. The hostel sits about 300 m from Hanoi Railway Station and is within a 10-minute drive of the Temple of Literature and Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre; Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is roughly 1.8 miles away and Hoan Kiem Lake about 1.9 miles.

A brand-new, hostel-style spot with hotel-level touches. Rooms come with private showers and balconies, there are female-only rooms, and each floor has bright shared bathroom blocks (four toilets and four showers per floor). Top-floor rooftop gives you a city perch for sunset views.

On-site bar and restaurant, free Wi-Fi throughout, free self-parking, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry and safe-deposit boxes. Grab a drink on the rooftop after a day wandering the Old Quarter.

An on-site restaurant serves Vietnamese and Western dishes at budget-friendly prices, plus a bar/lounge for drinks. Ask at check-in for local specialties and recommended plates.
