Hanoi Buffalo Hostel

This hostel is very comfortable due to its location. They are very well organized, which is a significant advantage when there is such high demand. I want to give special mention to the included breakfast. I've stayed in many hostels in different cities around the world, and I've never seen such a thoughtful and complete breakfast. Congratulations!

clean bathroom the room had enough space to move around for 6 people Breakfast was a buffet and the staff was making omelettes at that time. generally clean hotel and good location

This has been the vest stay/experiences of my life. We booked hi giang loop and halon bay cruise through this hostel. The hostel was good. We stayed in a private room, which was fairly large, provided soaps with razors toothpaste toothbrush tea/coffee, television, and hairdryer. Breakfast was included and was average. HI GIANG LOOP It's one of the best things I've ever done, and im glad I chose buffalo to go with the tour guides. They were brilliant, and so were the people we stayed with. The food was great. The parts were great and ofcource the scenery was greatl. We've also booked the halon Bay cruise for tomorrow, but we have decided to come back to hanoi after and stay back in this hostel for a couple of days

Buffalo were such a helpful hostel when it came to tours! They organised 2 tours for us then offered us a night stay in there sister central hostel! They were great at giving you all the assistance to get you to your next destination. I would definitely use them again if I go back to Vietnam as they were so helpful on WhatsApp with anything I needed in terms of information and keeping you up to date!

Better options in Hanoi. We booked through WhatsApp and given a price with messages to prove and when we arrived were quoted almost double. Staff were unhelpful. Bedsheets had blood stains on as well as brown marks… definitely cheaper, cleaner places to stay

Stayed here as we were doing the Ha Giang Loop. I definitely recommend going through buffalo hostel for this trip. In terms of the hostel itself, the lift was far too small. And you have to still walk up and down stairs to get to each floor even with using the lift, not disabled friendly, or ideal in general. Staff great and friendly. Beds were good, bathroom was good, lockers were big however make a musical tune when opening so isn’t ideal during the night when people are sleeping. Same to open the room door. Breakfast was okay.

There are literally no complaints about this place. Letting us store our bags when we came to the hostel early, huge lockers for your bags, free towels, nice shower, VERY SOCIAL, free beer from 7-8 pm every night, free pub crawl at 10 too, free walking tour daily at 10 am, breakfast included (that was actually average), perfect location, a lot of ad hoc trips to book, and a swimming pool to top it all off. What a place

I came here as an ‘older’ solo traveller… the average age I would say is between 20 and 24 but I never once felt out of place. Ly on reception booked everything for me… Ha Long bay, Sa Pa, ha Giang loop and Ninh Binh. Ly sorted all the transport and excursions. It was so easy to then just enjoy an incredible experience without the worry of thinking where I had to be and when. I’ve honestly had one of the best times of my life and met friends for life. Every excursion is extremely well organised and everyone is very helpful here. Vietnam is a beautiful country and I’m blessed to have been fortunate to see as much as I could fit in during my time here.

Great hostel! Very clean and spacious rooms with ensuites. Check in was very easy and communicating with the hostel was very easy before our stay/tour. The free walking tour was amazing it was 3 hours and was very informative. Our guide Luna was excellent, She was very funny and had lots of knowledge about the area. We also did the Ha Giang loop 3n4d tour which was excellent. It was well organised and easy to communicate with the hostel about the tour. I would recommend this hostel/tour to anyone!! Read less
