The location is good. The staff was really kind but there were mold on the wall in the room, the mat wasn't comfy at all and the door for the only bathroom in the room was just blurred glass so you can almost see through, in the mix dorm, not the best though..

El espacio para dormir es cómodo. El personal no es amable. solo es amable el chico que trabaja por la noche. la zona común es muy caluroso. los ventiladores y a/c no abastecen la calor. Por lo demás está pasable para máximo 1 dia

Translated to English

The sleeping space is comfortable. The staff is not friendly. Only the guy who works at night is friendly. The common area is very hot. The fans and a/c don't supply heat. Otherwise it is passable for up to 1 day

Where to begin with this place. For one it’s not a hostel, it’s a restaurant with rooms upstairs. Their's no atmosphere or anywhere to sit other than being in the dorm, or in their restaurant. The staff is unfriendly, and rude. And then because you are sharing the hostel with the restaurant downstairs anybody can come upstairs and lurk around the facility. The worst part of this hostel is the constant glaring lights. Theirs glass doors on the rooms and the lights are left on all night...

This is a mould infested hostel that left us unwell after our one night stay. With narrow stairways and steep steps it’s really difficult to carry heavy bags up to the rooms. We had two complete idiots in our room who were taking showers and bringing food at 3am. There is no door to seperate the shower & sink from the room, to the point where if someone is using the toilet you can hear everything. It’s pretty unsociable and just really not great. Bad roommates made it much worse

This used to be a 4 star hostel. The best in the city. I stayed here in 2019 & it was stunningly beautiful. Beautiful lobby, stairwell up & doorways, water features & lighting. However, it was to my disappointment that it has been extensively remodeled. The lobby is completely different & now a dull bland poorly lit beige, the rooms completely moved & the water features removed. I completely do not understand the remodel as it has removed everything that made this hostel stand out.

Localisation et personnel très agreables. Le bar en dessous est sympa et bon. En revanche, la prise dans le lit superposé est à 1m50 de hauteur donc impossible de mettre ses appareils a charger. Les douches étaient vraiment dégueulasses, gros problème d'évacuation de l’eau. Odeur pas très agreable dans le dortoir également.

It is an affordable hostel that got the job done! The location is great, and the staff were so helpful and attentive. The lockers underneath the bed don’t actually lock so I didn’t feel like my stuff was secure. The curtain was falling off the hooks and they charge for water refills.

Not bad hostel. Located in a super busy area. No place for chilling and socializing, just their own coffee shop. I found the area very noisy. But bed very comfy

There was cockroaches on the floor. The ”cleaning” was hardly what I would call cleaning. There was mold on the towels which acted as a door mat. Everything was dirty and the showers smelled of urine. The only positive thing was the location.

didn't love this hostel, door was broken so anyone could walk in, sheet was ripped on the bed, Aircon was shite so it was absolutely boiling and there's no atmosphere because it's a cafe open to the public downstairs and has no common area. however, it is really affordable, great location and staff were helpful. I'd also recommend the bahn mi!

Nice hostel in a great location opposite Benh Thanh. Not sociable but nice, spacious beds, clean rooms and friendly staff. Would recommend if you’re looking for somewhere a bit more chilled in a good central location!

I stayed 4 nights and can highly recommend it. The staff was very helpful with everything I asked for, always friendly and in a good mood. 24h reception, which was perfect for me as I arrived late on the first night & had to check out early on my last day. There’s breakfast & fresh towels included. Very clean rooms and facilities - everyday day proper cleaning, even with mopping! I’m super happy with my choice :)

I spent my last night there in search for a real bed the night before my flight. Perfect place for thet. it's a decent low budget hostel. Breakfast is very basic buf free. lack's a proper bar/rooftop but there's many spaces to connect with fellow travelers.

The hostel is located across from the Central Market and 6 minutes walk to the bus station. The dorm room and the bathroom are clean. There is a restaurant downstairs and can be very crowded sometimes with guests eating there and the people who stay at hostel use a common area. The staff are nice and helpful, especially the two who are from Myanmar 🇲🇲.

Très bon rapport qualité prix avec un emplacement parfait en face du marché ! Tout était propre et les lits confortables. Un petit déjeuné copieux même s’il manque d’une boisson (chaude ou pas). Tout le mondes est agréable et c’est donc parfait pour y passer quelques nuits.
