    Some people in the dorm are annoyed by being a bit noisy at times. To be fair, which is to be expected in dorm and nothing the owner can do about it. There is rooftop wifi area and people walking hard on the floor may disturb you while you are resting. Overall wonderful stay and great value for money.

    The Hostel is very well organised. The rooms are clean and the host is very nice.

    I missed out on free breakfast cause I didn't know it was only till 9 :(

    I never give a 10 for a hostel simply because its a hostel... but this one was extremely clean and comfortable. I only spent one night there but I was very happy with the place and the owners were super nice. They take a really good care of everything and they have a good attention to detail for example making sure that the towels are fresh and clean and not dump or discoloured. The bathroom is huge and brand new. I felt very comfortable there and would definitely recommend it.

    The Hostel is run by a Vietnamese family who will be more than happy to help you. The hostel is new and modern with top facilities. I honestly recommend staying here if you're ever in Ho Chi Minh City.

    this is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at—it’s in a good location, the free breakfast is great, rooms are spacious and clean, free drinking water and great common area. (the rooftop is a plus as well!) The owner, Ha, is also incredibly nice, funny and really cares about his guests. he has a TON of suggestions for places to see in HCMC and will even put together a mini itinerary for you! I would come back to this hostel just because of how amazing him and his family are.

    The big room for the female dorm, which was very clean with private curtains and private bathroom that was inside of female dorm room, so I didn't have to go out for long way, and the bathroom was so clean even we had full travelers in the dorm, with a good pressure shower! And it's also included the amazing breakfast in every day with different menus. Also, it was quite a real local area without any noises, so it was so perfect to stay here for 3 nights of Ho Ch Minh. One more thing, if I add, is that the owner of this hostel 'Ha' has amazing knowledges of Vietnam because he worked as a tour guide for his whole life, so he can help you with all the questions about Vietnam!!!🇻🇳

    This is a brilliant hostel. Ha is friendly and welcoming and can give you great recommendations for food in the local area. It's a nice relaxed vibe with good common areas. The beds are big and comfortable and the entire hostel including the bathrooms is as clean a hostel as you'll see. Great value for money, and a delicious breakfast served every day included as well.

    What a great accomodation. Excellent location in the city where you can scape from the chaos of the busy city but also have many local food, cultural and shopping options. The owner and the staff were always super helpful and friendly. The rooms were really cleaned and the atmosphere was welcoming.

    I like a long list of things: care for guests, general cleanliness, comfortable mattress and wide bed, spacious modern dorms, hot water in nice glass bathrooms, and good Wi-Fi. They also have a lounge space on the ground floor and rooftop chillout area. The payment for a dorm includes an excellent breakfast. Often, this is one or another soup made from noodles, vegetables, and mushrooms, as well as a piece of fruit - a good start to the day. You also can have a mug of hot instant coffee. You can re-fill your bottles with clean drinking water for free - as much as you want. Thus, you will save money and the ocean as well if you care. The hostel has thought out the details well. For example. When you arrive in a new place, finding a good restaurant that is both tasty and inexpensive takes a lot of time. But in this hostel, they send you a list of local cafes and restaurants in the area on Whatsapp. I've personally checked part of this list - very tasty and at local prices. For example, I love a clean and friendly shop cooking and selling vegetarian banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) - 0.7$ for one piece. When I have 2 of them + iced coffee (0.8$), it makes a good dinner. A plate of rice and chicken will cost only 1.4$ (35.000 dong) in a restaurant in the area of Aloha Saigon Hostel. The hostel is located on a quiet alley (no traffic noise, no nightclubs) in the safe district - a sort of middle-class neighborhood; no stray dogs, no extreme poverty here; inexpensive restaurants and diverse local life (many Catholic churches here in labyrinths of alleys). The hostel is situated 3 km away from the heart of the central Saigon, Ben Thanh Market area. You can travel there by bus #28 (also #4, #152); a bus ticket costs 0.2-0.3$. Take #7 to go to Cholon (aka Saigon's Chinatown).
