My time in Hanoi was facilitated with joy, comfort and ease by staying with Luxury Backpackers. Upon arrival, I was welcomed warmly and provided options of excursions with honest advice about the most popular and the one with the best value for money. I was recommended delicious local cuisine. My room was clean (and cleaned daily) and equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect as I was a walkable distance to many Hanoi hot spots. The guiding light to my enjoyable time in Hanoi at Luxury Backpackers was Linh. From first meeting, she was friendly, genuine, and joyful presence that I could trust. This is needed and so refreshing as a solo traveler. I was able to leave Hanoi having a fabulous time and a new found friend. Get the best value for this place! Book it!

The place was really cozy. It was really affordable and the manager who assisted us was very accommodating. He even allowed us to do an early check-in and gave us discount for a room upgrade. The hotel is also very near to good restaurants and coffee shop so I am really happy with my visit in Hanoi. Thank you so much for taking care of us!

This was a good place to stay. They did a good job of communicating with me via the app and arranged for a driver to meet me at the airport. A staff member helpfully carried my bag for me up to the 5th floor. The room was as advertised, comfortable & clean. The options for eating near by were overwhelming and sights were walkable. They were quick to offer any help in booking travel services & stored my bag for a bit after check out.

AUCUNE FENÊTRE

AUCUNE FENÊTRE dans ma chambre et ce n'était indiqué à nul part dans le descriptif contrairement à d'autres hôtels qui le disent. Aucune ouverture de la part du personnel pour essayer de trouver un arrangement. Je ne retournerai pas dans cet hôtel et je ne le recommande pas non plus.

Bathroom is much nicer than individual rooms

I am in a 8 months trip, normally i have my own room, but most of them don't have clean and nice bathroom, i give a try share room that i don't like, this bathroom is very clean and modern, much better than all my bathrooms, share areas also very clean, cost much less than my own room, i have locker that i always worry about, only problem share a room but not as lonely. I start booking share room after 6 months trip

Please be aware, at the time of this writing (23/09/2023) that there is no lift so going to your room requires traversing up and down the staircase :(. However, putting that aside, this hotel is located in Old Quarter, surrounded with many dining options nearby. It is also located near a cathedral. The receptionist, Linh, is fantastic. She provided great suggestion and tips about Hanoi culture, things to do, places to eat. She ensured that the guests are welcome.

Just a few steps away from Old Quarter where restaurants and shops are available all day & night. The hotel/hostel itself is decent - could improve a bit on a few things but already good at a level of standard. Just one thing, as a person who doesn't smoke nor fancies being around smoke-filled environments, this is what they need to come up with strategies to bring it down as other guests smoke everywhere, sometime even in the bathroom, and there was no protocol to eradicate this issue. The bed is so comfy. I loved the fact that there were bedside space and on-the-wall hookers for personal stuff. The mini fan also worked and I was glad it was there because it could het warmer or hotter and when the AC couldn't reach me, I still had my mini fan to keep me cool. Great!
