    Beds were very firm and a little grubby.Balcony area was great for viewing street life but messy.Manager was there on call and helpful.

    Very close to the market.

    Not so clean but it is okay i and my little boy just need some shut eye before early flight. We slept comfortably

    On our arrival dorm is still fully booked so they let us to family room. I and my boy just stayed 1 night and had our early check out.

    Bathroom is missing soap and most importantly a toilet paper - and it's on purpose! The receptionist told me that the owner thinks it's the guest's responsibility. I beg your pardon? Towel, sure... but toilet paper?? With this attitude I think the owner shouldn't be in the business he's in. Also, I think they might have bedbugs (see photos). Can you please check your mattresses? 👀

    The beds are very spacious and thanks to them you have your own private space (even with a mirror), which is great! I just wish the mattress wasn't this hard. Wifi also works well. The rest... not so great.

    The room has no window to ventilate and the shower drainage is a bit slow and due to that the room has humidity.

    The host was very helpful, resoectful and friendly. The relation price/commodity is good. Don't exoect a luxury room, is just comfortable tosoend the night while disvovering the city center during daytime.

    No basic necessities provided such as towel, soap etc. The room floor is not that clean. Entrance was super small since motorcycles are also parked along the narrow way to the room which makes it hard to bring your lugage and also dangerous if fire happens

    Just in front of Ben Thanh market and next to halal food street

    Just the light of the bed is so dark and quite useless.

    The hostel is at a good location, right in the center of the city. The facility is simple. The bed is quite comfortable and the bathroom is spacy. The room temperature is also not too cold.The owner and staff are friendly.

    I slept in the same dorm as the owner of the place, I was the only foreigner. Showers were really wet without any hook to put your stuff. there is no real space where to stay except your bed, don't expect to meet people there. There are big lockers to use with a key. Water is not included. The price was cheap so it might be fine.

    It is extremally noise cos there is a heavy glass door to go 5o toilet and balcony so you'd get woken up every time someone goes to the bathroom. Shower doors shown a bit who is inside

    Great location and big bed. If you're in the upper bunk bed is very high to reach so need to be fit. Could be more cleaner.

    It is the deepest room without window so no air exchange esp the bathroom is inside too. Vent duct looked decorative, neither had a switch to suck air out nor negative pressure. Toilet smells of course leaked to the bedroom so less usage is better. Air con dropped water.

    Location is good. Close to many tourist attractions, food & shops. Only 1/F so not many stairs. Dormitory has 1 window but I did not stay there.

    No running water for half the day. Aircon didn't work very well. The bed sheet was just a random itchy throw rather than just a plain sheet. the wifi wasn't very reliable. and I saw a few cockroaches in people shoes.

    good location close to the local market.

    The mattresses are rock solid, are con did not work, 1 toilet which has a see through door, no water on the second day meaning the toilet wouldn’t flush. If this hostel replaced the mattresses it would be a lot better

    However there is no window in the room. The mattresses are extremely hard and the room was not clean enough. The bathroom is seperated by a glass which doesn't make the room suitbale for friends or family a lot, of you want to keep up your privacy. Looks way better in pictures than in reality.

    The location of this place is great.

    Although the dorm bed was spacious for 1 person the mattress was too hard & the linen provided was too short & thin , bathrooms weren't that clean, no kitchen facility & no drinking water was provided...the door to dorm room & balcony was making so noise while opening or closing which is very annoying...

    The location of the hostel is very nice.
