THE LOWDOWN.

Welcome to Mad Monkey Hanoi, your social base for exploring Northern Vietnam. Meet your new crew here, then head to Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Sapa and Ha Giang together. Whether you’re travelling solo or already have a mate in tow, we make it easy to connect with other backpackers and turn your next adventure into a group experience. Kick things off at The Meet Up every day at 7pm, join our Wednesday Karaoke, or get involved in our weekly White Party event. Come alone, leave together.

Right in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, you’re surrounded by buzzing street food stalls, lively markets and late-night bánh mì runs. When you’re ready for your next adventure, our Travel & Tours Desk can help you organise everything from the Ha Giang Loop and Sapa treks, to Ha Long Bay cruises and Ninh Binh escapes. Find your people, plan your route and explore Northern Vietnam together. And when you’re ready to recharge, our air-conditioned dorms with privacy curtains on every bed are the perfect place to rest up before your next side quest.

Where is Mad Monkey Hanoi?

This chaotic city is full of restaurants, cafes, shops, convenience stores, and more — anything you’re looking for can be found within walking distance.

 

How to get to Mad Monkey Hanoi from Noi Bai Airport

 

Private Pickup:
The easiest and quickest way to get directly to our hostel is to book a private car through us, which will cost around $20. Just let us know your details in advance so we can have someone ready and waiting on your arrival.

By Taxi / Grab:
Your second option is to get a taxi or use the Southeast Asian equivalent to Uber, Grab. Prices can vary depending on the time you are travelling and also the weather. Generally a taxi / Grab will cost you around $25-30.

We highly recommend calling a taxi from the desk inside of the airport as taxi scams are known to happen and will often overcharge you. Agree on a price beforehand and be prepared to put your bartering skills to good use!

    The Ha Giang Loop Tour 4D / 3N (Easy Rider)

    <p><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-medium">The Ha Giang Loop with Mad Monkey is where strangers become soulmates over bottomless rice wine (aka happy water), nightly chants echo through the mountains, and your Easy Rider becomes your emotional support human.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-medium">It's not just about the views (though, damn), it’s the bonds, the belly laughs, and the slightly questionable karaoke.
