With so much to see and do in Hanoi, it’s crucial to get accommodations that are located close enough to get the most use out of your time. The hostels in Hanoi do exactly that by putting you in the center of the action.

Hanoi is famed for its busy streets, ancient architecture, and numerous small temples scattered throughout. As Vietnam’s second-biggest city, one might assume that there isn’t much room for natural beauty, however, it was settled along the Red River centuries ago and home to a couple of decent-sized lakes.

Here’s a look at the top hostels to stay at in Hanoi, in no particular order. While they all are situated in the central part of the city, each has different features that may suit one person or family better than another. Hanoi also boasts budget-friendly hotels and affordable homestays, which are light on the wallet and immersive in the culture.
