    Great location in Hanoi Old Town, close to sights and museums. Helpful hostel team, offering free walking tours and assistance with booked tours. Easy to meet people and socialize. Air-conditioned rooms with curtains for privacy, big lockers with electronic locks, and clean bathrooms with hot water.

    Felt really welcomed, nothing to complain about.

    The hostel is perfectly located, right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the old town. You can easily explore the vibrant streets and try out delicious street food just steps away from the hostel. the friendly staff will greet you with a warm welcome and provide helpful information for your stay. the bunk beds in the dorm rooms are comfortable, with curtains for privacy and individual power outlets. the private bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant experience.

    The noise from the surrounding nightlife can be quite disruptive, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    Great value for money, the rooms were comfortable and well-maintained. The location in the old quarter was perfect for exploring. The staff at Buffalo went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.

    The breakfast menu could be improved with more Asian options.

    I stayed at Buffalo in Hanoi for a night and it was a great experience. The room was spacious, clean, and had comfortable beds. There was some noise outside until the bars closed, but ear plugs were provided. unbeatable value for money with complimentary water and breakfast.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    I had a great stay at Buffalo hostel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the vibrant nightlife area. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The room I stayed in was spacious and bright, with a lovely view. Despite being in a lively area, the hostel provided earplugs, ensuring a peaceful sleep. I highly recommend this hostel for its fantastic location and welcoming atmosphere.

    We found the location of the hostel to be perfect, with attractions such as the lake and market within walking distance. the rooms were properly air-conditioned and had a small balcony. the staff, especially Du and the kitchen/bar staff, were friendly and welcoming. the hostel also had a swimming pool, which was great after a hot day exploring the city. the inclusive breakfast had a good variety, including salads, sausages, and bananas.

    The hostel is situated in the middle of the nightlife area, which could be noisy at times.

The pool was a great addition and the decor throughout the hostel was impressive. the staff were friendly and always willing to help. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the bustling city, making it easy to explore all the attractions. Another advantage was the free breakfast which was exceptional.

    The worst aspect of my stay was the price, which I found a little expensive for a hostel. However, considering the facilities and services provided, it was still a good deal.
