Liked: A great backpacker hostel. It's a lively place, with plenty of chances for socialising. I stayed in the older one, in the south of the city centre. There is a newer one as well in the north of the Old Quarter which is lively as well (and you can use the facilities there too). Dorms are modern-ish, beds are really comfortable. The travel desk can help with tickets, tours etc. I went on the Halong Bay tour with them. You should only go on their tour if you want to party. I had a great time. Free tea and coffee all day on the hostel too! The small bar on the roof is a good place to meet people, the beer is cheap and sometimes they give out free beer too!
Disliked: Water isn't always warm!

Liked: Drink specials, good food, awesome people, both staff and travelers.
Disliked: The newer Hanoi Backpacker's Hostel on Ma May road is nicer. Both are a little expensive compared to guesthouses in the same city.

Liked: Not much.
Disliked: Disorganized grumpy staff.. first impression. This place is busy and laud! Building site next door doesn't help either. Managed to sleep two hours. People smoking in the room.. staff didn't care? Booked for two nights, stayed only one and they refused to refund money. I am sure the guys there do very good business. Traveling for a while now this was definitely the worst hostel experience.

Liked: The Halong Bay tour with them
Disliked: This place is loud. The others backpackers in my room didn't care I was sleeping and they talk for 2 hours like I wasn't there. Even if I asked then go speak outside. And it's was around 4 am!! The bathroom/shower aren't clean. But if you like a party place, book now. I change hostel to a quiet one.

Liked: Such a god place to meet people, we made friends with people on te roof top bar and changed our plans to go on a 3 day trip with them. Free Beer! We changed our plans so many times and they did not get annoyed with us once.
Disliked: People coming in to dorms during the middle of the night, it's fine though as I knew it was a party hostel and so expected it, can't complain. The free beer is only on sundays!!

Liked: Good location, great place to meet other travelers! They could use a few more showers and it'd be nice if they would let you control the A/C in the rooms when it's 40 degrees out, but other than that the place is great. Book the Ha Long Bay tour with them; it's more expensive but well worth the cost!
Disliked: The security was a little lacking, and they wouldn't turn on the A/C until 10 even if requested sooner.
