BB Hanoi Hostel

Chinese New Year celebration officially comes to an end. Wish my readers a good Horse year ahead!
So, I update my blog with a review of BB Hanoi Hostel before I fly to HK.

After I purchased the air ticket to Hanoi, I google and dig useful Hanoi travel information from Cari forum as usual, at first was planning to book Hanoi Guest House or Rising Star Dragon Hotel as recommended by the travellers in Cari forum, then my mother told me that she booked the first night accommodation at BB Hanoi Hostel through Agoda.

Then, after going through the positive reviews in Trip Advisor and Agoda page, we decided to stay and take tour packages from BB Hanoi Hostel throughout our trip. So, I am the one in charge of contacting the hostel and our deals are inclusive of:
1) Stay in Family Room at USD29/night, inclusive of breakfast and extra bed.
2) 2D1N Halong Bay Christina Suite Cruise at USD85/pax
3) 2D1N Mai Chau stay at tilt house at USD60/pax
4) Free airport transfer to hostel

Besides the good feedbacks in Trip Advisor, the way Tony(manager of BB Hanoi Hostel) communicate with me in the emails, makes me and my mum secure with the booking. From the words, we felt that Tony and his staffs are friendly and willing to help. And, in real, they are!

Room
BB Hanoi Hostel is a tall, narrow building(just like other buildings in Vietnam) with 6 floors and each floor have 3 rooms.

So don’t worry if you are staying in the highest floor.DSCF0383_副本Our family room with 1 single bed and 1 double bed.
The mattresses are quite firm, but we still slept soundly.dscf0384_副本The bathroom that equipped with toiletries.

BB Hanoi Hostel is located at the Old Quarters of Hanoi town. Walking distance to the night market, Hoan Kien Lake and Water Puppet Theatre. So my advice is, if you want to be near to all the tourist spots in Hanoi, stay in Old Quarters. Accurately, stay in BB Hanoi Hostel.

I felt like I was travelling from home to another home, Tony and all his staffs welcome us with big hands and a warm smile when we check in, when we back from our Halong Bay and Mai Chau trip. I sprained my right ankle on Day 2 in Halong Bay, then once I back to hostel, Tony brought me to the pharmacy store next door to buy the Salonpas patch. His staff also get us a few packs of green tea(nice one!) at cheaper price.

Anyway, is the month of February! Time flies...
Sorry for the lack of updates, no travel post for today. Just want to share out my life post once in a blue moon. *smurfie mood on*

I feel my life is contented for the past 1 month. I learned a lots by forcing myself pick up a topic and study every week. Shopping in KL just like what I used to do during Uni life. Visited monastery more frequent, etc etc.
