I arrived very late due to my delayed flight, but still the owner kindly welcomed me. It's the best hostel I've been in Vietnam, you'll notice right from the entrance the level of cleaning. And the dorm was just so nice, spacious, large beds with curtains and modern bathroom. Next time I'll definitely stay longer!

Modern design, clean, amazing owner Thuy, very welcoming! I stayed around Tet and Thuy gifted everyone staying there a few small tokens and this really great yogurt granola snack. I thought that was so thoughtful! Just to note: The side street that the hostel in on doesn’t show up on google maps, but there is a narrow street that runs right in front of the hostel. Any way, loved this place and I would stay again!

A very cozy room with fast wifi, nice tv in the private room, and a decent size. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. The place felt like a little home for a couple nights with the cats and the dog which is nice when you are travelling and moving. The price is very good and not too far from the city as well. It was a nice area but it was not the quietest however, that comes with a residential area. There are lots of convenient shops, good restaurants around and popular good bars around.

I booked this hostel because of the proximity to the airport. I walked in about 15 minutes. The bathroom/wet room was pretty standard for Vietnam. The host did not speak much English but was very good with google translate. I was able to leave my backpack for a couple hours after checkout time while I met up with friends.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's no 5 star hotel but offers fantastic value for your money. Comparable to decent budget hotel at hostel prices. Great location. Staff are kind and friendly and breakfast is decent even if it lacks variety. No elevator but luggage can be lifted via motorized cable. Rooftop patio is an interesting space but would be better if there were an electrical outlet, a vending machine or something, as it is now its hard to justify the trip up so many stairs. Highly recommend for a budget conscious tourist!
