My stay at Hanoi Banana Hostel was a mixed bag. The location in the Old Quarter is fantastic, being tucked away in a quiet corner yet close to vibrant nightlife. While I loved the spacious beds with privacy curtains, some facilities like the bathrooms need improvement. Overall, I had a pleasant experience, but there are a few areas that could be better.

I booked a bunk bed in a female dorm room for 3 nights. The middle bunk I was assigned was cozy, and the privacy curtain was a nice touch. The bed was spacious and the locker could fit my backpack perfectly. However, the female dorm wasn't very private and noise from the common area could be distracting.

I didn't take advantage of the dining facilities too much, but I noticed they had a common kitchen for guests. It's nice to have that option for cooking. Some breakfast bars were available, but I didn't explore them.

While the hostel had some modern amenities like a smart toilet, I encountered issues with the bathroom that was initially out of order and a small shower cabin that could've been cleaner. The common areas were cozy but could use more space for dining.

My stay at Hanoi Banana Hostel had its ups and downs. The spacious beds and great location for nightlife were definite highlights, but some issues, like the lack of privacy in the female dorm and cleanliness of the showers, detracted from the experience. Overall, it was a decent stay with a few improvements needed.

My stay at Hanoi Banana Hostel was a mix of nice experiences and a few drawbacks. The location was fantastic, close to the Old Quarter and major tourist attractions, which was perfect for my solo adventure. However, the shared bathroom setup was a bit lacking, and privacy could be a concern with the sheer curtains in the dorms.

My stay at Hanoi Banana Hostel was fantastic overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help, but the air conditioning on the lower floor was pretty loud, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Still, the location was great, just off the old town, making it peaceful yet accessible.
