Centre Alley House & Travel is on Ngõ Tạm Thương, a quiet alley in Hanoi's Old Quarter, 600 m from Hoan Kiem Lake. Yen Thai Temple and Kim Co Pagoda are both 50 m away, and Đình Tú Thị is 100 m away. The neighbourhood is a dense grid of narrow streets, traditionally associated with the goods once sold there; small shops and food businesses sit alongside temples and pagodas. The house is reached from the alley rather than a main thoroughfare, so the immediate setting feels quieter than the streets around it.

Ha Noi Railway station is 1 km away, and Noi Bai International Airport is 20 km away. The homestay offers a paid shuttle service, an airport shuttle and car hire. You are asked to share your expected arrival time in advance, either through a special request or by contacting the property directly. There is no parking at the property, so arriving by car does not include an on-site place to leave it.

Saint Joseph Cathedral is 350 m away, and Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square and Hanoi Train Street are each 400 m from the house. The cathedral is a church landmark, while the square and railway-side attraction bring different city scenes close together. Hoa Lo Historical Prison is 700 m away and now houses a museum tracing the site's history. These nearby stops span religious architecture, street life and modern Vietnamese history.
