A propriedade — 28 Oldtown Backpackers Hostel
A converted old-town terrace, 28 Oldtown Backpackers Hostel keeps things no-frills and sociable. The lobby doubles as a common room with low sofas and a noticeboard covered in Ha Giang loop ride shares. It is best for solo travellers and young groups who want a clean bed, free beer hour, and a location that puts you straight into Hanoi's street-food action without any faux-boutique pretence.
Crónicas de Hanoi
Hanoi was founded as Thang Long ('Ascending Dragon') in 1010 under Emperor Ly Thai To, who saw the Red River delta as an auspicious site. French colonial rule from the 1880s grafted grand boulevards, opera houses and villas onto the ancient citadel's warp, creating a distinct 'Indochine' architectural layer. After the 1954 Geneva Accords, the city became the capital of North Vietnam and sustained heavy bombing during the American War; much of its Old Quarter still retains pre-colonial street-naming craft guilds. Today, Hanoi is a confident capital where high-speed development collides with tree-lined lakes and Communist-era brutalist flats, its identity rooted in pho, egg coffee and a fierce motorcycle culture.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Hanoi →Melhores meses
October to December: clear, dry autumn skies with temperatures 17-25°C, low humidity, and a comfortable city for walking. Fewer tourists than spring, and hotel prices remain moderate.
Peak / Festival Surge
October to April is the generally dry 'high season' for foreign travellers. Tet (late January/February) spikes domestic tourism dramatically – Hanoi empties out for family visits but hostels still fill. Prices at this type of property rise by about 20-30% around Tet and the National Day holiday (2 September).
Orçamento da temporada
May and September offer the best value: May is hot (30-35°C) but crowd-free, and September is the last month before the dry season kicks in, with good discounts and noticeably fewer backpackers.
Tempo e embalagem
Hanoi's summer (May-September) is a dual assault of heat and sudden downpours; an umbrella is useless against the sideways rain. Pack a decent packable waterproof jacket and quick-dry footwear – you will be wading through flooded pavements at least once a day.
Livro City Briefing — Hanoi
- Hanoi's urban railway line (Cat Linh–Ha Dong) now runs from 5:00 to 22:30, linking the Old Quarter to southwestern districts for 12,000 VND; it is a reliable escape from Old Quarter traffic jams to the Vincom Megamall area.
- The pedestrian-only zone around Hoan Kiem Lake on weekend evenings (Friday–Sunday, 19:00–23:00) has been extended north to Hang Dau Street, creating more space for street performers and market stalls.
- July is at the tail end of the high-heat monsoon season: expect daily temperatures of 32–37°C and brief but violent thunderstorms most afternoons. The historic Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre runs extra shows to compensate for indoor tourist demand during the heat.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to 28 Oldtown Backpackers Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard, away from the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still accessible by stairs, and the rear aspect cuts road rumble from Old Quarter traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the 1st floor (street level, noisy from foot traffic and motorbikes) and the 5th floor if there's no lift, as you'll be hauling bags. Also avoid rooms directly above the common area or bar on the ground floor.
Best views
There's no standout view in the Old Quarter—expect a jumble of rooftops and narrow alleys. A rear-facing room on floor 4 gives a skyline glimpse over lower buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, offering a buffer from street noise without the climb of higher floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from motorbikes and honking is constant on the street-facing side. The hostel's common area and bar generate chatter until late evening. Early morning delivery trucks use the alley at the back.
Insider tips
Check in after 2pm to avoid queueing; request a fan or extra towel at reception if the room feels stuffy. No parking on site—use the public lot on Hang Bo street and walk 5 minutes.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principais atrações em Hanoi
💡 Start at Hang Bac (Silver Street) around 9am – the silver workshops are fascinating. Avoid motorbikes by sticking to the narrowest alleys. Street food here costs 20-40,000 VND a dish.
💡 Walk the lake at 6am to see locals doing tai chi and badminton. Sunset is crowded with photographers but worth it for the light on Turtle Tower.
💡 Book the 5:15pm show to avoid tourist crowds. Sit in row C or D – row A gets wet from splashes. Arrive 20 minutes early to see the puppets being prepared backstage (ask nicely).
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid tour groups. The back garden has a banyan tree and koi pond that most people miss.
💡 The outdoor section is the highlight – allow 2 hours. Go on a Saturday when ethnic minority guides sometimes give free tours. Taxi from the centre costs 50,000 VND.
