- Hanoi Railway Station is 13 minutes on foot from the nearest Golyte spot; the station's own lockers have no published price.
- Noi Bai airport is about 40 km from the Old Quarter, so on a long gap the bag usually stays in town.

Which should you choose if...
You take the night train or bus to Sa Pa or Ha Long

You check out at noon and fly from Noi Bai in the evening

A 24/7 spot takes the bag at any hour, before your room is ready; 13 of Golyte's 16 Hanoi spots are open 24/7.

You go on a Ha Long Bay cruise for a few days
The best luggage storage in Hanoi for several days is the one with the lowest all-in daily price and clear cancellation. Price per day adds up, so compare all-in totals. Check cancellation terms; Golyte's cancellation is free until your drop-off day.
