Amazing location, great place, great people”
Bui Vien Hostel is located at a very accessible part of Ho Chi Minh City, Bui Vien Walking Street. From here you can walk to every tourist spots (if you love walking :) ) Value for money I love their breakfast - noodle and a great vietnamese coffee in the morning! Yen and team are very accommodating and will be back here for sure. By the way, although it's located at a busy street in Bui Vien, place was rather quiet.

Quiet place in heart of the action”
I arrived at Ho Chi Minh City at 5am and the staff were happy to keep my bag whilest I explored the city as I could not yet check in. In spite of the great location in the middle of the backpacker district, this hostel is very quiet. Furthermore, the staff were very helpful in organising tours to cu chi tunnels and the mekong delta. However, there are some design flaws with the room I stayed in (8 person dorm on the ground floor). This room has no natural lighting so is very dark at all times. Also, the placement of the room lights is not good as you cannot turn them on without disturbing other people. Despite this, I enjoyed my stay here.

pleasant stay ”
Located in an alleyway along Bui Vien in the heart of the District 1, Ho chi Minh. Family run business, which offered a nice filling breakfast of noodles or Egg and toast and fruits and drinks. The dorm beds have curtains for privacy which I liked and a clean dorm bathroom/toilet in the room.

Perfect Hostel”
The hostel is a wonder! The staffs were very friendly and nice. The owner is the best! Yen, I will definitely go back to your hostel if I will go back to Ho Chi Minh. The hostel is located at the backpackers' street but it was on some alley so the noise won't reach you when you want to sleep. Don't ask too much for it's cheap price. It's more than awesome!

value for money and very clean hostel”
It is my first time using a hostel in my travel and I am very satisfied I chose this place. Standard check in time at 1pm but I arrived around 2 am from the airport and the Man which i believe is the owner, at the front desk is very welcoming ang allowed me to early check in. I use the dormitory with nice and clean bed add a curtain for your privacy. Aircondition is working good with a ceiling fan to add. The bathroom and shower is clean even though it is shared, they were able to maintain the cleanliness. Towel is provided but i did not see any toiletries. But there are near convenience store around to buy your own:) A locker underneath the bed is provided, I believe it can accomodate medium size luggages. Free breakfast :) they have toast and eggs , noodles with coffee and juice of your choice. The staff are all welcoming and accomodating. The guy and the woman in the kitchen is very accomodating. You will feel at home. And to the man who i believe is the owner is always happy and smiling every time. Always trying to start up a conversation which is very nice to feel. Location is at the far end of the phum ngu lao district 1 and is far from the noise of nightlife so you can get a good night rest:):) Note: shoes off upon entering the hostel. Thank you for the wonderful stay and I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends. More power to all the staff of BuiVien Hostel. Hoping you'll continue in providing a good service to all the tourist in your country.

Exceptional”
Although I had difficulty finding its location because it is tucked in an alley or hem along Bui Vien Street, I really loved my stay at Bui Vien Hostel. Great location but still hidden so you wouldn’t really hear the noise from Backpacker street. Yen and Vien were the greatest hosts, I love them. Clean beds with curtains for privacy, clean rest rooms, and delicious breakfast! I will surely book this again when I come back to Saigon.

Yet, you will be able to enjoy the vibe of Bui Vien Street and get back to hostel to take a good rest in no time. Overall, it is highly recommended to stay in this hostel.

Quiet room, Comfy bed, lovely Breakfast + Coffee, Tours can be arranged”
Room - In just a 5 minute walk, you are basically IN the party street (Bui Vien St.). Loud and lively outside in contrast with our room which was surprisingly quiet. For a 5-foot Asian girl, beds are pretty well-fit for me to stretch my limbs the moment I wake up. Really comfy bed with a curtain, for privacy of course! Staff - can book tours for you. Pay-later can be arranged. 1-day tour was well worth it! Super friendly staff. They allowed me to offer the 4 oranges I bought in Thailand in their mini-shrine. :)) Food & Beverage - Complimentary breakfast and (1) coffee of your choice (hot/cold) on a daily. The friendly auntie that made my breakfast, I love her to bits. She made me eat twice when I was sooo hungry! She made me the most delicious coffee I've ever tasted in my entire life. Don't even get me started on the breakfast area. Especially in the morning, it's like heaven on Earth! Cleanliness - bathrooms are super clean and by my standards, spacious enough.

Excellent”
The owner was very accommodating and friendly. It was my first time in an international solo travel and also my first time to try a hostel so it was a plus that o felt safe there. It was near Buy Vien Street (location was in an alley accessible via Buy Vien Street) but far enough to escape the weekend party noise which can get very loud due to the blaring music and crowd noise. Don’t stay in hostels on Buy Vien Street but pick one like this hostel which is far from all the noise and crowd - you’ll have better sleep at night! There’s free simple breakfast which is great for the money paid. You can choose between Vietnamese breakfast or western breakfast (bread, eggs, juice).

Great stay”
This hostel is a family-run business, so the owners are doing all they can to make this place the best it can be. They were always available for recommendations and help if needed. Great location, very central and just off the bustling Bui Vien Walking Street, but rooms are still quiet. I had a comfortable bed including a light, power point, a hook-rack, curtains and locker space under the bed. My room had air conditioning and a fan. The rooms are cleaned daily. The terrace is open at all times and breakfast is included. Exceeded my expectations. It was a really great stay - very grateful! :)

Excellent”
This hostel was great, for travelers who go around early and go home late at night, this place is safe. Even at late night the area is still awake, because it is located in Bui Vien, a night street wherein restaurants are open almost 24 hours. The hostel was clean, and good enough. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The facilities are excellent. Free breakfast is a plus, you can choose anything from their menu and a friendly staff will cook and prepare it for you. I took the mixed dormitory, and I can say everyone was so disciplined and follow the house rules.

Great little hostel ”
Great little hostel, tucked right around the corner of Bui vien street. The rooms were very cleanly, with a nice spacious cubby to keep your items locked. It comes with a lock as well. Beds have curtains on them. Free breakfast in the morning, and a small little rooftop area to hang out in the evenings. Ran by a really lovely family! Would reccomend this to someone who is wanting to stay close to Bui Vien street but looking for a quiet place to sleep!

Great hostel!”
I left another hostel in HCMC in search of something better and found Bui Vien. The staff was always available, friendly and helpful. For example, just after I arrived, I was looking for a place to eat some Bun Cha. The owner's brother took me on his motorbike to the best lunch spot and brought me back just in time for my tour. The rooms got a thorough cleaning everyday and the bathrooms were very nice. Yummy breakfast, too!

Clean, Great location, Comfy bed, Kind host”
I stayed one night here to enjoy the vibe in Bui Vien street. The location is noisy but the hostel stays in the very good location which reduces a great deal of noise during night. They have got locker with provided padlock and nice mattress as well. Highly recommended for backpackers.

Worth Every Penny!”
This is a really cozy place! Bui Vien walking street is just right outside yet magically, you won't hear any of its noise when you're inside the hostel! The staff here are amazing! Greaaaaat breakfast too! Their staff cooks it for you and though they don't speak much English, they are so kind and helpful! Toilet and shower are all good and kept clean, beds are comfy and there are lockers for your stuff. I loved my stay here. Would definitely book here again when I go back to Saigon.
