Khai Homestay, hotel in Hanoi

Attractively located in Hanoi, Khai Homestay features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property is around 1.3 km from St.

Very good location, it is very central to the Oldtown and Ling Binh Station, but in a small street which is very quite so that you hear no sound from the streets anymore (which is extremely relaxing). The owner and his family are very nice, the home is very clean and it was the perfect place to calm down after a stressful flight.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Asia! The hostel is really beautiful with great facilities e.g. a hair dryer and a pool to use. The staff are really friendly, they let me check-out late, they stored my luggage for me whilst I did the loop, and they let me change the dates of my booking last minute. The beds are comfortable with a bedside light and storage locker as well as lockers big enough for my 55L bag. Great location. Really enjoyed the free walking tour which helped me meet other travellers.
