The One Hostel Hanoi
@tamaraknell
This social hostel has a pool and lots of social activities to meet people. Its a newer hostel so the facilities are nicer and beds have curtains!

Hanoi Central Backpackers Hostel
@tamaraknell
Another social hostel that has been in Hanoi for many years. A bit more runned down but it's a little cheaper.

While it's not the nicest hostel, it is the best place to stay for a night before you start the motorbike loop. You can book the tour through them and go with everyone else at the hostel. They even give you free motorbike lessons if you have never driven a semi-auto before.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tamara Knell
Available for hire
Originally from LA, I've solo traveled to 54 countries at 27 years old.
Most of my travels have revolved around South East Asia, Central America, Europe, Australia, and South America.
I specialize in budget backpacking and slow travel. I focus my recommendations on adventure activities, nature, cultural experiences, local food, and nightlife.
I've had tons of crazy experiences along my journey that has shaped me into the confident backpacker I am today. I want every person (but women especially!) to feel the joy and freedom that comes from solo traveling.
I'll tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've made tons of mistakes traveling; I've lost my debit card, had medical emergencies, stolen iPhones, and the occasional mental breakdown...or two. Traveling is not always picture perfect so I want to show you all the nitty gritty details to make sure you are THE most prepared for your backpacking adventure.
