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.

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.

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.
