Reviews of Old Building 1939

the host was very nice. he showed us around and have some good tips for in the city. he also came to change our towels and stuff.

the apartment was very hot, no real Windows. it was not that clean. the upper balcony was full of other peoples trash.

Great location in the Old Quarter. Down a quiet narrow alley. The whole building to ourselves, three usable floors, two spares & a little roof terrace. Run by such a nice young couple who couldn't have been nicer. It's such a cute little place we recommend

Its not a criticism, just fair warning to others. The internal stairs are steep & tight. The toilet/shower is on the ground floor, town a little lounge, then the bedroom. So you have to be able to take your luggage up the stairs. We didn't find it an issue

Good location

Really hard to find, poor communication from the owner which made our arrival quite hard as he said he would meet us but didn't, and then gave us two different addresses to store our things. It's down a dark alley and it's not particularly clean.

Owner is very friendly and welcoming, always ready to help, he drove me with his bike to the bus station when the bus company suddenly cancel the pick up. The whole building is yours, with this price- I don’t need to share bathroom and space with others.

A little deep cleaning needed

The owner is really nice and helpful! He changed the towels and the sheets twice. Location is perfect and you can go wherever you want in no time. The stairs are really small but you get used to.

This stay was difficult to locate. Our driver dropped us off at another location and he was confused as well. There is a photo for reference when you book so just make sure you’re looking for that when attempting to locate. The staff was friendly and very helpful they even sent us restaurant recommendations for the area. It is in a good location in the center of shops and restaurants. The place itself has about 6 floors leading by up to the terrace. The room is located on the 3rd floor.

Really great location, apartment, owner! Wonderful treatment and so cute place - highly highly recommend!

This place is cool if you are up for something totally different and a little quirky. You get 5 floors all to yourself up a little tiny spiral stairway so if you don't like small spaces or stairs I would not recommend. I thought it was fun. It is pretty noisy so if you are sensitive to sound I would bring earplugs. I am glad we gave it a go and I would recommend it but it's not for everyone. Bed was comfy. The host was super friendly and responsive..he walked us to the place and then dropped off our big bags while it was raining heavily and gave us an umbrella - very thoughtful! ❤️

I do think the place needs some extra cleanliness and a freshen up . I understand it is an old building but more reason to do more with it. Photos may be slightly outdated. Maybe we got unlucky on our stay as we asked for an earlier check in which could have caused rushing but it definitely needed a better clean and some more love in general - a few of the floors are a bit of wasted space/storage for random things which is a shame as it has a lot of potential. I think it would be even better with a spruce up / freshen up and maybe some DIY. Still enjoyed our stay ! :)

Watch my youtube video about this home. , Search "A Stupid Tourist Hanoi Alley House. its not a room , its 5 floors tall all to yourself with a rooftop patio . The owner is very nice. He brought fresh sheets and towels every other day . if you want a unique experience I suggest you book here

nothing

Unique place and great owner, thank you very much!

Pretty steep stairs and it's s Very small apt, Room size but nonetheless good value for the money! It's small rooms but a lot in number if you don't mind going up/down the stairs. Exceptional location and the place had all amenities needed for a short stay in old quarter Last but not least, a lovely, supportive host

Hit my head a lot but I'm on a taller side (193cm). Saw some bugs on my way out (the apt is hidden deeper from the street) but I guess it's expected due to it being so close to street restaurants. None in the apt itself though so that's good!

Everything

Small stairs and no fridge.

The owner is super nice!

Awesome location, cool little place - you get the whole house to yourself. House is 6 floors, but each floor is very small, definitely only book if you’re comfortable walking up and down steep staircases. Staff was lovely and helpful too.

A little dirty, and saw a cockroach but nothing crazy.

It's an apartment over 3 floors, bathroom 1st floor, sitting area 2nd floor and bedroom on top. It suited my needs as it's right near sapa express bus stop so just spent 1 night. It's very quirky space with a narrow spiral staircase so you gotta be agile to navigate up n down. Everything is on your doorstep.

You basically have the whole place for yourself. Literally a “building” with 5-6 floors, each is a small room. It has good privacy, and the owner is very kind and helpful. The location is just perfect, right in the middle of the Old Quarter.

It’s a bit scary to go down and up the stairs at night, since the toilet is in the 1st floor. The TV has some glitches, but it doesn’t affect my stay much.

I thought I booked a room but ended up having an entire flat for myself, which was nice. Great location in the very centre of Hanoi. The property manager is an extremely nice and helpful guy, he insisted on giving me typical Vietnamese cake and changing the bed sheets even if I was leaving the day after. I knew I could contact him for whichever problem.

The flat doesn't have windows and it was a bit dirty. The entrance is a bit sketchy but secure as there are always people outside at the tour agency. In the bathroom there's no surface to put things on (eg clothes, beauty case, towels...)

Great location and host

Due to sudden problem we didn't had internet during our stay

Friendly owner and very clean!

Tall guys watch out for short ceilings!

Unusual quirky place, kind and helpful host. Location excellent. You need the a/c as very humid.

Spiral stairs and quite narrow which was fine but lacking in natural light. It did a job for a night. though.
