Hotel Review: Ibiz City Hostel, Hanoi – Vietnam

September 5, 2018 By James Clark

Hotel Review: Ibiz City Hostel, Hanoi - Vietnam

Hotel Name: Ibiz City Hostel
Address: 49 Luong Ngoc Quyen Street, Hoan Kiem, Old Quarter, Hanoi, Vietnam.

I stayed at the Ibiz City Hostel in Hanoi. I booked it for its price and location, and the rate was $12.38 USD per night.

When I booked it the hotel was known as The Tourist Hotel. I’m so comfortable with being a tourist that I didn’t mind the name. Anyway when I was on the street walking towards the hotel, Google Maps said it was permanently closed. Uh Oh! And they took my money as well.

Luong Ngoc Quyen Street

It turns out that the hotel was transitioning to a new name and it was now known as the Ibiz City Hostel (not to be confused with the Hanoi Ibiz Hotel at 30 Hang Cot). It was so new that there were builders still setting up the reception and common area, so I don’t have any review of that section.

The rooms were ready though, so that was the main thing. I got a double room with a private bathroom. My room was absurdly big (not that I’m complaining), especially compared to the last room I was in. The bed was comfortable and it had a useful bedside table and lamp.

Bed

The room was furnished with big wooden chairs and tables, in typical style that you find in Vietnamese homes.

Desk

At the other end of the room was a cupboard, a fridge, and an old TV. The room had air-conditioning, which was needed during the summer days I was there.

TV

The bathroom was clean and orderly, and like the main room there was plenty of space.

Bathroom

There is free wifi and I had no problem with the connection. The hotel is on Luong Ngoc Quyen Street, which is one of the main backpacker party streets in the old city area. There are lots of bars within stumbling distance, if that is your thing. From this location its easy to walk to anywhere in the ancient city area of Hanoi. Ideal for being a tourist.

Overall my room was comfortable and it was in a great area. I can’t review the rest of the hostel experience as it was fully open.

Check prices for the Ibiz City Hostel or search for more hotels in Hanoi.
