All reviews here are about the tours and not about the hostel . If you are planning stay at shark here is my review. It’s a good place , good location . But they can improve their service and maintenance in the hostel . Is a clean place but the room I was i realised has not been done daily ( floor / underneath beds and top of the lockers ) . It’s not a big deal but ….i like clean places always . Another point , they don’t let us do early check in , but they let people do late check in around 11:30 pm 12:00 and of course this is not good because people Turning light on etc .. Another point : housekeeper she always use to entry in the room and put the aircon off while people were there or when we were sleeping around 7:00 8:00 am . And there is no sign or information saying the air con was going to be off . So why she was off it while people were there ? My advise they should have the control remote with them and keep only one fix temperature . The girls in my room they were putting the air con on 25/27 degrees 😂. No sense at all . So maybe they could keep the control remote . Another point , shoes off ( outside the room ) should be Must do . To avoid dirty and bed bugs inside the room . - they don’t provide towels Advantages; - they have simple / but good breakfast 👍🏻 - beds they have curtain 👍🏻 - rooms has toilet inside ( which is good ) 👍🏻 - good and big locker 👍🏻 - air con and fan 👍🏻 - they provide shampoo Overall is a good place and staffs are super kind . I recommend shark .

Qué pena por los chicos que administran el hostal, pero tengo que compartir que he sido picado por posiblemente chinches/bed bugs. Todo se veía muy limpio; me quedé en un dormitorio. El desayuno era muy rico y el servicio del personal muy bueno, solo me quedé una noche y reporté el problema para que lo revisaran.

Vibe Analysis
Shark Hostel is a central base in Hue, close to the walking street and handy for getting around on foot. The staff are a major part of the place: they help with maps, buses, transport, and planning simple city days. The standout feature is the trip setup. Hai Van Pass rides, day trips to Da Nang, DMZ runs, motorbike rentals, and other outings are arranged here, and the drivers are repeatedly treated as safe, friendly, and easy to get along with. That makes the hostel feel more like a practical launch point than just a bed for the night. The rooms are usually clean and comfortable, breakfast is included, and the atmosphere is calm rather than lively. It can work well for a short stay if you want a central spot with good support, but the building is not new and some rooms can feel damp, stuffy, or noisy at night.
Signals to check
- Some bathrooms have weak drainage, wet floors, or a bad smell.
- A few rooms can feel old, damp, stuffy, or in need of a refresh.
- Nearby bars, karaoke, or street noise can carry into the night.
- The vibe is quiet and small, with limited shared space.
