About
The One Hostel Hanoi
The One Hostel Hanoi sits on Hang Ma Street in Hoan Kiem, a six-minute stroll from the Old City Gate and within easy reach of the Temple of the Jade Mountain. It's a new build with a design that blurs the line between hostel and hotel: a spacious lobby, modern interiors, and a list of facilities that goes well beyond the basics.
Sleep is in dormitories only — mixed and female-only — with private bunks, curtains, and separate en-suite bathrooms so you don't share drains or showers with the room. A wristband key opens everything, from your locker to the rooftop pool. The social scene is active: two bars, billiards, board games, live entertainment, and a night club, plus regular events for backpackers.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Hotel-like facilities at hostel prices — Two bars on site, a rooftop pool, billiards, a restaurant, and a snack bar — all in a new build. Reviews repeatedly describe the feel as more hotel than hostel.
- Well-reviewed staff — Named staff members (Pink, Hoan, Tuan, Nhu, Lily, Mark, Mia) are called out for being friendly, helpful, and going above and beyond — from arranging transfers to helping a guest who lost her phone.
- Secure, convenient dorm design — Each bed has a curtain for privacy, and a wristband key opens everything — your locker, room, and amenities. En-suite bathrooms are separate, so no shared drains or smells.
- Prime Old Quarter location — Six minutes' walk to the Old City Gate, with the Temple of the Jade Mountain a moderate distance away. Reviewers call the location convenient and close to the city.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dorms only, no private rooms — Every bed is in a shared dormitory, from 4-bed to 10-bed. If you want a room to yourself, this isn't the place.
- Adults only — no children — The hostel doesn't allow pets or children under 18. It's geared toward adult travellers, mostly backpackers and young holidaymakers.
- Weak facilities rating — The Facilities score sits at 6.1, the lowest of all categories. While reviews praise the pool and bars, a few may find the overall setup less polished than the rest of the experience.
- Some mixed reviews on small details — A few guests gave lower scores — one found the breakfast basic, another felt the billiards were overhyped, and one mentioned the room was fine but not extraordinary. These are minor quibbles against an otherwise strong record.

8.6Verified guest“The continental breakfast spread was a highlight, especially that iconic toast and jam combo. And the billiards table provided endless entertainment — I felt like a pro with every shot I missed.”
8.6Verified guest“The place feels more like a hotel than a hostel. The spacious lobby is a standout, and the staff — particularly Ms. Pink and Ms. Hoan — were incredibly helpful. The wristband key system is convenient and unlocks everything. There's a pool, elevator, and billiards, and the beds are super comfortable. The en-suite bathrooms are separate, so no worries about smelly drains. Tuan and Nhu also deserve a mention for their service.”
8.6Verified guest“This hostel is truly a gem! The facilities are top-notch: comfortable beds, spacious work areas, and two bars for socialising. The pool and billiards area add a fun touch. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. The kitchen, opening soon, will be a great addition for those who like to cook. Highly recommend, especially for young travellers like me.”
8.6Verified guest“My second stay in Hanoi exceeded all expectations. This hostel beat my previous experience with its friendly staff, amazing atmosphere, and comfortable rooms. I can't recommend it enough.”
8.6Verified guest“We had a fantastic time! The facilities were top-notch, with a great pool area and the best pool table in Vietnam. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, arranging transfers and making our stay even better. Special shoutout to Mark and the front desk girls for their kindness and excellent service. The interior and decoration were modern and spotlessly clean. This place had everything we needed.”
8.6Verified guest“The rooms are really cosy and comfortable, with a relaxed vibe. I loved the balcony rooms with city views — a great spot to chill and soak in Hanoi's bustling streets. The beds were comfy, and the wardrobe was handy for keeping my stuff organised. They even provided bed linen.”

Frequently asked
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, and check-out is by 12:00.
Is breakfast included?
The hostel has a restaurant and snack bar on site, but the input doesn't specify whether breakfast is included in the room rate. It's best to confirm at booking.
Can I bring my pet?
No, pets are not allowed. The hostel is also adults-only, so children under 18 aren't permitted either.
Is there parking available?
The input doesn't list parking amenities. The hostel is in the Old Quarter, so it's likely street parking or nearby lots — you may want to check in advance.
Does the hostel offer airport transfers?
Yes, there's a paid airport shuttle available, and staff can help arrange transfers — several guests mentioned this in reviews.
What types of rooms are available?
All rooms are shared dormitories: 4-bed, 6-bed, and 10-bed options, with mixed and female-only configurations. Each bed has a curtain for privacy.
The bottom line
A modern, well-run hostel that feels like a hotel — great for backpackers who want social spaces without sacrificing comfort. The biggest caveats are the dorm-only format and the low facilities score, but for the price, most guests leave impressed.
