When I go back to HCMC, I will definitely come back here. Such a social hostel, I’ve met so many nice people and it was so easy. The staff is absolutely great, everyone’s so helpful! Big recommendation!

Such a nice hostel! The location is great, the room is clean and nice and the rooftop bar is really cozy. But best with the hostel is the staff! So nice and helpful and helped us plan activities that became the best part of our stay in ho chi minh. Really recommend.

Free breakfast was awesome and everyone from the hostel was there in the morning so it was easy to meet new friends and make plans for the day. Beds were big and comfortable with curtains but the rooms were a bit small and the bathroom was a wet room en suite (at least for mine) which isn't my favorite

Good social hostel to stay at in HCMC, the curtains aren’t super thick material so sometimes hard to sleep but other than that all great !

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed. The rooms are clean, the beds comfy. The free breakfast is really good and available until late in the morning which is really practical. It’s really social, a lot of activities are organized and there is a free beer every night. The only downside is that there were no hot water early in the morning but it was really hot so it didn’t bother me much. Would definitely stay here again !

Great location near the Bui Vien walking street. Perfect if you enjoy nightlife. You will need to walk or Grab to other tourist locations, however.There is plenty of food and a 711 closeby. They offer big group tours to popular destinations. I enjoyed the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta tour. Staff here were so kind and gave you info on things like buses to nearby cities. There was a great social vibe here that they culminate through tours and a free beer on their rooftop bar for happy hour.

Great hostel! Spacious bunk and I like that it had shelves, mirror, outlet, and light in it. The only reason I didn’t give full stars is because there were flies and I saw a cockroach in the hallway but that’s to be expected in HCMC haha. Staff were so friendly and helpful! I loved the free water/beer and free breakfast! I would recommend staying here.

What a great hostel, especially for the start of my trip. Very social, central, and very friendly staff, especially Sam, Alex, and Steve who helped me get my bearings and learn some (extremely rudimentary) Vietnamese. Highly recommend this to anyone in hcmc wanting to meet fellow travellers.

We were “upgraded” to a ground floor room with a glass door and no lock, which felt a bit unsafe as the lockers were also difficult (/not possible) to lock. That night, my friend woke up to someone not staying in our room, trying to take her bag. We ended up leaving and were given a full refund, and the hostel said they’ve since added a lock. We appreciate their response (if a lock has been added), but as two female travellers, it was a scary experience that could’ve been avoided.

Lovely place to stay at. The staff were the nicest people, always there to help and give you tips for whatever you want. It was super clean, I was seeing the place literally getting cleaned all the time. Location is amazing also. Shout out to the place, when I get back to Saigon I am definitely staying at this place again!

One of the best social hostels to stay at. The rooftop at the mobylette (owned by the same people) was an amazing place to meet people. The rooms were decent and clean. The bathrooms were decent and they had people cleaning all the time. Would recommend
