It is our third stay at this guesthouse - it is well-located, good value and has all that we need. We will be back!

Its location is kinda hard to navigate. There were also cockroaches found in the property. The bathroom is not that spacious.

The room itself is very big with high ceilings.

Stayed in July 2025

Very cold in the room, no heating available. They recommend to use hair dryer as heating. No soundproof from noise.

Location, close to Old Town.

Stayed in March 2025

There was a kettle to make tea or coffee, but no cup.

I liked the location, which was very central. It is quiet, older-style accommodation, but it had everything you could want.

Everything nice

Stayed in May 2025

Could use some dusting off in parts The walls are barely walls, you could hear some noise from outside but nothing major

Super central location Cheap No need to be scared of the little alley way that leads to the house, even came back late at night and never encountered any problems

Just to be aware if you have accessibility requirements, there are many stairs and no elevator. The laundry was also questionable both times (bleached sock, a few stains, returned damp, and gained a few extra clothes!) but not sure if it’s done on or offsite. The hotel itself is great though

This was our second time staying as we loved it. Great value for money. Staff are lovely. Location is perfect. Very clean. They are available all night so it’s perfect if you have a night bus or similar. Highly recommend!

Don't expect anything fancy. It's basic but friendly. But for the price, what do you expect!?

The guesthouse is very centrally located, and as the name suggests, it's hidden from the road up a narrow alley. It was amazingly cheap, and we just used it as a base before our late night flight home. So we didn't sleep in the room. But it was perfect for our needs.

It was a great place to stay. Loved the location. Loved the room on level 5. In fact, we loved it so much we are going back! Thanks!

In the public spaces it was pretty grubby but - my room was clean and it was a cheap place and did the job fine

Tucked down a little alley way it was off the clamor of the Hanoi streets

Stayed in March 2025

Location was great. Very central but because it is located back from the street quite quiet at night. Comfortable bed and decent sized room, staff was very friendly.

Stayed in March 2025

The walls between rooms are a little thin, so you can hear other guests in the guesthouse if they are loud, but this was not a big deal for us.

We found this hotel great value for money. The rooms are nice and big and the shower was lovely and strong. The lady managing the hotel is also very sweet. It is literally hidden from the streets so there is no noise coming in from the outside.

receptionist were so kind.

Stayed in January 2025

It truly is a hidden guesthouse, but nicely located in Old Quarter which means it is easy to get around by foot. The Hoan Kiem river is just a few mins walk and at night, you can easily get to the streets of night market, "party street" etc. Because it was cold, no aircond was needed (not sure if there is heater though), but it was a good stay PS, highly recommend to book a pick up from airport with them as Grab is hard to get upon arrival and taxi costs a lot, about 500k dong

The only downside is it gets cold at night, especially during winter season. But everything else is excellent!

The location is very central! The room is huge with a balcony and private bathroom. Wi-Fi is very high speed. The family is very helpful too, they are always there ready to help. 🌟🌟🌟

The hustle and bustle and noise of hanoi, but then I don't like cities, so any city would have made me feel the same. Sometimes it has to be done though, for the experience.

Quiet location off the street, easy to walk to hoan kiem lake, luckily we stayed over the weekend which was closed off to vehicles so a much more relaxed feel when not having to navigate the busy roads with all of that crazy traffic....and constant car and scooter horns.

Great location, truly hidden quiet room in the middle of the old quarter. The shower is very good, hot water, good pressure.

Stayed in November 2024

There aren’t enough places to leave your clothes. The reception area could be more welcoming.

A great location but in a quiet alley. Traditional room with high ceiling & balcony. Good fan & air conditioning & comfortable bed.

There was everything what you need. Perfect location.

Stayed in October 2024

We have been back to this guest house a couple of times. The family are very friendly and easy going, and it’s comfortable, clean and well-situated. Our room was a good size, and being out of season the rates were particularly good.

Leaving Hanoi!

So, it is called the "Hidden Guesthouse" and lives up to its name - popping up in a small square, down a little alleyway -but suddenly you're in a charming family run guesthouse in which a beautiful winding wooden staircase takes you upstairs to large, well appointed, clean and really comfortable rooms. All together a very happy experience.

Stayed in October 2024

The staff were very helpful, and the location is close to the lake. The room was cozy, making for a comfortable stay. It was my first time visiting Hanoi, and they made our trip much easier. You can rent motorbikes or book a bus to Ninh Binh just by asking the staff. The prices for all services were also very reasonable.

The access down alleyway was quite dingy but thats a fairly minor thing. Making travel arrangements was a very long process, even booking a taxi. Harley is the only one who can speak English well. So Google translate was needed, but the staff did do their best to help.

Beautiful old wooden house near the Old Quarter and lake and not far to the Temple of Literature and Koto restaurant. Friendly helpful staff and very clean and comfortable accommodation with aircon. It is truly hidden away in a small street and down a dark little alleyway, but the staff come out to show you the way if you catch their shuttle. It is fairly quiet being off the street.
