A lovely stay.

We stayed for 5 nights, and though it was near a loud street that did not bother us. We had a noisy room, but Lilh offered to swap us to a quite room on the other side free of charge. We continued with the original room because we are heavy sleepers and it did not bother us. Lilh was extremely helpful and often responded on WhatsApp within 1 minute. She even called our tour company when they were running late and offered to print our visa's. She offered to help us book buses and tours, but we had already arranged this the night before. A lovely stay

Nice stay, kind employees

Spent 3 nights in this hostel for my arrival in Vietnam. People working here were always super nice, kind, helpful, they really helped me having a good time in Ho Chi Minh City! Room was nice, not a lot of stuff but the necessary ones. Bathroom was nice too! Only the bed was a 80+80 and you could really feel it in the middle. But each part was OK. That's the only really bad point. Other point : it's close to the biggest "party road" of the city, so you'll hear the music of the bars and nightclubs from your room. But you can't be close to enjoyment and being in a full quiet place!

Great location, staff, cleanliness. Great Hostel

Probably the best hostel I have every stayed at. We stayed 5 days without any issues. My wife and I had a private room with private bath (asian shower, western toilet). Good Wifi. (seperate wifi for each floor) Super clean in the room and throughout the hostel. Bed was Asian Firm (hard) and pretty big. I like softer but that is a preference. I really enjoyed the breakfast as a Vegan, but all diets had options. Good prices for water, drinks, snacks and beer (very close to the prices at the connivence stores and drinks were always cold) . Location was 20 meters from the walking street (party area), but somehow, tucked in the ally, it was really quite at the hostel. Lily and staff are so nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

Very good value for the money!

We had a couple of nights at this Hostel, and can really recommend it. It’s very good value for the money, nice and clean rooms, good service and ok breakfast. No cleaning of the room the second day, but I don’t think they do it anyway. Oh, and the location is perfect for backpackers and partyanimals.

Tucked away and quiet!

VERY QUIET!!! Orginally I was afraid Bc I pulled up and it was full on weekend party mode on the Main Street- loud music and bats. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was. Staff was so friendly and nice and helpful and the breakfast was great!

여행자거리 초입에 위치 나름 골목안쪽이지만 늦은밤꺼지 소음은 꽤있음 예민하고나 휴양 목적은 않될듯 소음도 여행위 일부로 느끼는 사람에겐 최고의 위치 우린 4살 아들 3달된 딸과 함께 했지만 만족...! 청결도 관리 서비스는 가격대비 좋음 고급호텔과 비교하지 말길...^^ 아무래도 저렴한 호스텔이라 개미도 조금 모기도 조금 있음.

Nice Hotel, Can be a little noisy

This hostel is located just off what they call the walking street. So the location is really nice, and it is only about 10-minute walk to most of the HCMC central sites. The hostel was very clean, and the staff was really helpful. I think the only minor downside is that it can be a little noisy even though you are off the main drag. It wasn't a major issue though.
