This is not my first time travelling in Vietnam though in Hanoi.. I hadn't known I kinda missed Vietnam until I got there. I did smile! How noisy and hectic it is just made me smile :)
I flew all the way to be a part of the biggest meetup in Vietnam. Watch the vlog here. So glad, I was so glad I made it! Oh yeah, who wouldn't like it big.. LMAO
I was browsing around Booking.com and found this hostel 'Soft Pillow'. It had such nice reviews and the photos looked good. I went for it.
Once got to the hostel, stayed for a few nights then at the end I told myself 'Don't believe the reviews ever again!'
Well, I probably can't really complain considering how cheap (as shit) I paid per night but I still expected what I'd seen in the photos and what I'd read in the reviews before I decided to book..
For those of you who's never stayed in a hostel and wondering how safe it would be. Most of the hostels got lockers and most of the time, you bring your own lock.
I as well should consider using it. The 2nd day of my stay, I lost my teeth retainers and my cleaning set though got them back, eventually. The cleaning man threw them all away LMAO!
Learned this word 'Semi Private' at the Airbnb place we stayed at in San Francisco. It's pretty much a hostel dorm but you got a bit of privacy as there're curtains and your little boxes just for your self.
To be honest, I like it like this even more than a private room when I travel alone.
This is what I loved the most about the place. It got the roof!
The roof will take care of everything
It's just nice to have some out door space to chill. Hanoi is hot as hell but still, sunshine needed! It's such a good feeling having a cup or 2 of hot tea in the morning with the views from above (7th floor)
Here was also the place they served breakfast. Yes, the one that's already included in the $3 haha. I just can't stop saying that. They got a few items on the menu for you to choose from and I got these two..
I also love browsing around and do some work on my laptop so this was the perfect spot to be (Until it gets real hot around 11ish)
Every table got roses on it.. Pretty! So now whatever I was mad about, I forgive it all ❤
So that's the place I stayed at on my last trip in Hanoi. I haven't been staying at hostels much lately as I've not been traveling much as I used to. Though, soon! It's happening soon!
The more I travel, it just feels like I need it a bit more and more.
I know this probably sounds like it's so cheap already but believe it or not, this is not the cheapest accommodation I've paid for..
Lots of lots of love,
Mo ❤
