My room had bedbugs and the staff didn’t inform us. We found out from the people who were getting bit. We found a bedbug and had to leave in the middle of the night to another hostel and they told the other girls in our room to not tell us. I did that night refunded but not the whole stay.

Facilities and how staff treated you was great. Room was great comfy beds. The only issue was there ended up being a case of bed bugs in the one room I was staying in. The way it was handled wasn’t the best after 2 reports of bed bug spotting they still kept moving people in into the same beds and it just kept repeating. I found some in my bed too and they finally shut the room down when everyone moved out. Staff still were helpful with getting all my clothes washed and a partial refund

An absolutely awesome place to stay, staff are always really happy,friendly and keen to help. Also very inclusiveness solo travellers, inviting myself to join in games of pool or pickleball/tennis. They have whole hostel meals out 'family night' which again for a dolo traveller is so nice to do to meet others and mix. Facilities are spot on, really clean, no bed bugs so mega bonus! Whole set up is social but there are quieter areas too. Overall I would 100% recommend and go back again!

Vibe Analysis
Pickleball games with Lucas give Gito Hostel its weird little social spark: active enough to pull people together, still chill enough that it does not turn into a party machine. Family dinners are the other big social anchor, with group meals, bar stops, beach days, cycling, coffee classes, tours, and transport help all part of the practical ecosystem. The atmosphere is warm, easy, and solo-traveller friendly without being a loud all-night hostel. Staff names like Lucas, Jerry, Kyle, and Shane are tied closely to the experience: help with local food, tailors, buses, activities, and making the place feel unusually personal. Rooms are generally spacious, clean, and comfortable, with strong air conditioning in dorms, curtains or bed lights in some beds, lockers or storage, and enough floor space for bags. The female dorm gets especially strong marks for space. Breakfast is a real strength, especially banana pancakes, and there is free drinking water. The location works well for Hoi An: close enough to walk to Old Town in roughly 5 to 10 minutes, but tucked away enough for quieter nights. Common areas, a rooftop, garden space, pool table, board games, and relaxed breakfast chats make it easy to hang around without needing a hard-party setup.
Signals to check
- Bedbugs have been a recent problem in at least one dorm, with handling concerns.
- Bathrooms are not perfect everywhere; mold, clogged drains, cleanliness issues, weak pressure, and short hot-water windows may happen.
- Wi-Fi may be weak in rooms but better in communal areas.
- This is social and activity-heavy, but it is not a full party hostel with a bar scene inside.
- Parking may not feel fully secure for motorbikes.
