From Noi Bai International Airport there are several options to go to the city centre and the hostel:

Going by taxi to the city centre is the most expensive but also a convenient option. A taxi costs between 300,000 VND - 350,000 VND ($13 - $15 USD). Be aware of scams and always ask for the taxi meter. Participants should use Gab taxi or Uber to pick a taxi, because it is cheaper than randomly pick one.

Airport bus:

The (orange) airport Bus 86 is good alternative to the taxi. One trip costs 30,000 VND ($1.34USD) and takes about 1 hour to the city centre. The bus runs from the Noi Bai International Airport (domestic and international terminal) to the Long Bien bus station. It is scheduled to leave Noi Bai airport between 6:18 am and 10:58 pm and Long Bien bus station between 5:05am and 9:40pm. The staff can speak English and free will is available on the bus.

Local Bus:

The local bus is probably the cheapest option to get to the city centre. A ticket for one journey costs 9,000 VND ($0.40USD). Local busses at the airport depart from the domestic terminal. There is a free airport shuttle bus between the international and domestic terminal. The bus stop for the local busses is on the right side of the (domestic) terminal exit. Take Bus 17 (departure every 15 minutes) works from 5:00 am to 8:30 pm until the Long Bien bus station. The bus 17 takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the traffic.
