Which Youth Hotel in Hanoi is the good one?

Question

I found some hotels in Hanoi called Youth hotel. My friends said that there is a Youth Hotel in 33 Luong Van Can str. But when I came to Hanoi, there were many boys said to me that their hotel is Youth hotel so I was very confused on receiving many addresses.

Please help me to find the real one which is Hanoi Youth Hotel?

Did you try to Google, Webcrawler or Yahoo search ?  I use them for any questions like you asked.  Cheers.

Hi,

The terms "youth hotel". "youth hostel" and "hostel" are used as advertising terms for family run tourist hotels in Vietnam.

Owners/Touts/Online advertisers do whatever it takes to get customers into the door.  Touts in Hanoi get a commission for bringing customers to hotels.  Yes, the Youth Hotel you refer to is located at 33 Luong Van Can St.  Insist on going to that address if you want to go to THE "Youth Hotel".

While traveling in Vietnam always know where you are going - have the address and, if possible, a picture of your destination.  Show this to the taxi driver, so he knows you know what you're doing.  

Get a picture of the Youth Hotel at: http://www.hostelsweb.com/hostelsweb.com...

NOTE: I highly recommend these type of hotels for bargain seeking travelers.  Each hotel stands on its own merits.

Good Luck!
