    Lovely hostel.

    We stayed on the third floor, there was one bathroom/shower on our floor. The main bathroom/shower area was on the 1st floor. Given the size of the hostel, there were sufficient toilets/showers for all the guests. It was just inconvenient to have to go to the 1st floor on occasion. Beds could be a bit small if you are over 6ft.

    Rooms and beds were nice. The rooftop area was nice at night but a bit hot for me during the day. Staff were friendly and helpful. They also helped locate my flip flops when they were mistakenly taken by another guest of the hostel. Secure lockers provided and a/c worked great.

    The stairs used to get to the second bunk were a little bit slippery with and without socks on. I would suggest putting on a rough tape to help with grip for climbing. It felt a bit dangerous

    I only had the breakfast one day because my friend and I were going on a day trip. I will say the place was close to many places where you could find food, and generally speaking everything was in walking distance

    The hostel is in a little alleyway which means it is quite but still very close to the main attractions. Everything was clean and everyone was super helpful in organizing trips, buses and extra nights! Highly recommend.

    Bathrooms do get terribly humid when showers are all running esp if ur in the toilet lol and it is a small place but i didn't feel cramped. However i have no complaints!!

    Really good location for main things to do in the city. The staff very nice, the beds have curtains for privacy, the bathrooms were always clean and esp in the morning had showers available and toliets as well. I felt the hostel was social because people were social. I met many people in the room and we either go out or have a meal together!

    maybe the bathroom could be a little bigger for the number of people and there could be less stairs ;p

    The beds have their own curtains, there is a contact by the bed and a lamp. There is space in the room to put your luggage. On the first floor there is a common area with soft seats and a low table. But it is also now on the roof where there is lighting and electricity and the internet works, so if someone works remotely. It is also a comfortable place full stop, apart from that there is a kitchen on the roof with a stove, fridge, kettle, basic dishes and a sink. the staff is helpful and able to help even the most cranky guest.

    The Wi-Fi is pretty spotty depending on your physical location and the chill room is pretty small, but everything else is perfect.

    The location is perfect for those wanting to stay in D1. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants within walking range. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. Some of the customers seemed pretty entitled with their requests, but the staff always remained nice and helpful. The beds are spacious with curtain and of course you will get noise being in the city. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

    Cannot recommend this place enough. Staff were extremely helpful. We left our ipad in a Grab and the staff member contacted Grab and the driver on our behalf and organised for the ipad to be returned without a second thought. Ideal location with good bathroom and shower facilities and comfortable beds. We also went to Phu Quoc for a few days and were able to leave our large backpacks at the hostel.

    I love that the hostel is not in a touristy area (yet very central) If you go left instead of right you end up in the local Ho Chi Minh where you could bet to be only foreigner. extremely cheap (vegan/ chay in vietnamese) food and wonderful locals. The personell is so friendly and helpful. I also used their laundry offer and I don’t know if I’ve ever had such soft clothes 🙈 loved it! and I could even hang out the day of my check out as I have the flight in the night. the rooftop was so nice to have! made a coffee and started the day perfectly.

    None - I really love it there, I could speak English with the reception and they understand very well. I arrived at saigon from hanoi at midnight I commend them for every single little effort they make just to ensure every guest is happy =)

    They are very smart - they make sure u drop your shoes before entering the accommodation. So there's shoe rack behind reception, and when u enter dorm strictly no shoes allowed Locker right below bunk bed Individual bunk reading light with switch Pampered by receptionist to walk me through the compound - 1st floor is the common bathroom with good functioning heater, and introduced me to dorm on another floor The spiral staircases making it easy to go to bathroom floor from the dorm Tiny space yet they are creative with the space making it feel spacious and liveable enough The clear guide on using bus 109 from airport to city centre Banh Mi right in the corner of the alley, need not walk to bui vien just for simple breakfast

    Would like to at least get water or boiling water but I realized there was no common kitchen. No elevator too so it can be tedious for those with big luggage.

    You don’t wear shoes within the property (you will be asked to remove at the entrance) so facilities are quite clean. Bunk beds have curtains so there was privacy. The staff was very helpful. She allowed me to borrow the shower after check out time as my flight was late at night.

    Staff is great. They gave me a room on the third floor (no elevator) but helped me to carry my luggage, very appreciated. Finally a hostel where the air-conditioned is turned on but the temperature in the room is not freezing. It was perfect for me. The bed was very comfy, socket beside the bed and nice curtains. Everything was clean. The toilet was not inside the room, just out of it, which is better so you dont wake the other guests when using it.
