    Social/ party hostel in central location

    Second night the aircon in our room didn't work properly, so it was actually hotter inside than outside.we got an extra fan, but the heat was still ..a lot. Its a party hostel, i hadn't realised that when booking. So its very social and very alcohol motivated ( free beer on some evenings, free beer if you write a nice review), that's not per se bad, but it just wasn't my vibe personally 😉 Since it's on walking street its really loud, but you can get some ear plugs at the reception:)

    Central location, right on walking street Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, very social

    Rooms weren’t the best, toilets need an update and if you’re a light sleeper I would not recommend staying here as the nightclub beside is very loud

    Staff and volunteers were lovely, it’s sociable

    Super loud partying street at night because it becomes pedestrian only at night Bars & clubs are putting very loud music on, so, if you're a light sleeper, ain't your place at all haha Room was pretty small and dark

    Really nice and helpful staff Good vibes in general, it's cool to have a bar to socialise Clean facilities Air con and fan Private bathroom in the room Many information about what to do around Location is great: shops , restaurants, banks...

    there were three breakfast options which catered to everyone, fruit pancakes or eggs with toast. The pancakes were lovely and so was the honey. The fruit juices available to order are also delicious :)

    no curtains around the beds- some ladies in my dorm woke up at 6am and turned the lights on as they got ready- this was the only down side

    amazing location, staff were lovely, great happy hour offers, the room was clean and lots of luggage space, staff helped me book a bus to da nang and were very welcoming

    Perfect hostel for 1-2 nights stay in Hue

    Room is very small (even smaller if you are 3 people) but the price makes up for that. On a very noisy street but the music stops around 12-1am. The hostel aslo provides earplugs.

    Stayed here as a couple in the private triple room. Perfect for 1-2 nights. Would highly recommend the day trip around Hue, a brilliant way to see everything in one day. The hostel is very lively and in the centre of the town near lots of gorgeous bars and restaurants. The staff were amazing and very helpful with booking trips and very accommodating when we had a last minute change of plans. Eddie and Ghim were very friendly and welcoming!

    The room was very small,it was bunkbed instead of two single beds and hard to manoeuvre in when all backpacks were in the room. Also very noisy from the clubs across the way, didn't bother me but nay bother others.

    The staff were some of the best on the whole trip, super helpful planning for future trip, printing and generally super friendly. They whent out of their way to be helpful, couldn't recommend them more highly.

    You can hear all the night clubs around you but if you also like a party thats fine

    Its perfectly in the middle of the center of the city. If youre looking for a nice hostel in the middel of the party area this is it.

    No privacy in the dorms as no curtains round the beds. It's also right next door to a night club so we could hear booming music until fairly late over our earplugs.

    Fun atmosphere, nice big double beds in our dorm, free beer during happy hour on Saturday! Great value especially considering breakfast was included.

    I was there on a Saturday night and it was really loud. There were earplugs provided, but they weren't enough to block out the noise. Also the shower was difficult to work out so I had to have a cold shower. There was an unlabelled switch which I later found out was for water heating. The plugs were difficult to access, I needed to use a travel adapter which wouldn't fit in the space provided as the bed was in front of it.

    Very central location for restaurants and shopping. Good amenities available. I arrived before check in and they allowed me to store my luggage and even have a shower.
