              Stayed 5 nights in December 2017

              SIMPLY AMAZING”

              This has got to be the best place to stay in Ho Chi Minh City! The hostel staff are the most friendliest people I've ever met, the owner is so kind and the facilities are fantastic. Stayed here for a total of 4 weeks for work, and my stay was nothing short of amazing! I actually came back a week later from Hanoi and cancelled my hotel so that I could stay here for two more nights before I went back to Australia to spend time with the staff who became very close friends of mine. They even invited you out to eat with them and made you feel very at home and part of the family! The facilities such as the dorm rooms and beds were neat and presentable, lockers were very handy and toilet facilities were clean. The hostel staff were also very approachable and hospitable, always willing to give suggestions as the best places to eat and also booking day tours and other activities when needed. I highly recommend staying here!

              Great”

              The location is perfect. Walking distance to almost any tourist attraction. Proximity to independence palace makes it easy to get back if you are lost (just ask some one where it is). The staff are so friendly and sleek good English. However there is no free breakfast and the toilets did have a strong smell of sewerage but so did most places in Ho Chi Minh city. Overall great value for money and would definitely recommend and use again.

              I am an expat working in HCM and I usually go to city center on the weekend. I just need a place to sleep in for a night. I am very happy with the cleanliness of the toilet and the beds are really comfortable in this hostel. The location of this hostel is fantastic. It's definitely worth the money. I think it's my favorite hostel in HCM so far.

              Pretty good for the price”

              Location was great right in the thick of district 1, and staff were very helpful. Free tea and coffee in the morning was great, and you could fill your water bottle up with a fee lower than buying a new bottle at a mart. The room was extremely perfumed though which was very overpowering, and I was under the impression that we were going to be in a 10-bed dorm but our room was connected to another dorm of 10-beds to make one large room. There were only 3 toilets between the 20 people and it was very crowded. The bunk beds are all connected too so they all rattle if one person gets in or out. Overall, it was good for the price and location if only staying for a few nights.

              I love everything about this hostel, from the location to the lovely hosts, they spoke really good English, kind and friendly. But one thing to complain, and I highly recommend the owner to probably consider change or upgrade the bunk beds. We're 9 people and stayed in the dormitory room. The beds were really shaky, just one person tossing around in their sleep and all the beds shake. There's no proper partition in between each bed, just normal curtain, I know sleeping in dorm room has less privacy but this was too much, you can cross over to other bed easily without them realizing.

              Great retreat in Saigon”

              Lovely hostel with toilets and showers separate from the dorm. Fresh towel provided on a daily basis. Front desk staff were extremely helpful in arranging tours and giving travel advice for sights around the city. A lack of a common area on each floor made making friends a bit difficult although I sat in the lobby and chatted with people as they came in or out. If you need a break from backpacking, and need a quiet place in solitude, this is it.

              The hostel is really well spotted, being closed to many monuments. The bed are comfortable we slept well but an individual bedlight was missing. You have access to an individual locker. Only 3 bathrooms (=sets of 1 toilet+1shiwer) are available per floor of 24 beds which makes difficult to keep them clean all the time...

              Nice hostel that I actually came back to after trying two others. The staff is very nice and helpful, the beds are clean and you get a new towel every day if you want. There is a computer to use, and a rooftop bar. Also a mini-fridge! The bathrooms are modern but not excellent. Maybe because of the guests... The only con I guess is that the beds are a little bit unstable, and linked togheter. So if someone who sleeps far away from you do a big movement in their bed, every bed will shake. And also it would be nice if the beds where directly against the wall, so that your light won't light up the one under you's bed too. And also if you're in the top bunk you can drop things on the person under you. Thank you for making my stay in Saigon so good! :)

              Very nice staff, very helpful also had 24 hour reception. As we arrived to airport at 9pm this was great. However I booked my airport pick through them and told me it would be $17 us as it was between a certain time. I thought that's allot of money for Vietnam. But I had not been before and hostels are normally very good. Leaving HCMC heading back to airport still within the same time frame. I ordered a cab from my new hotel and was charged $6.50 us. The restaurant food way overpriced and so is the hostle private room. The room was very noisy as over the restaurant. However they did offer to change us the next night as they said it was a noisy room. Wats app communication very easy.
