Vietnam FEMALE 31-40 Apr 11, 2026 Atm 40%

The dorm conditions were not what I expected from a typical traveller hostel. The room felt very crowded, with limited space due to bulk luggage, it seemed that some residents were staying long-term rather than short-term travellers. This created a different atmosphere than expected and made the space feel uncomfortable. Bedsheets were also worn, overall cleanliness could be improved. You'd better manage room capacity and clarify if dorms are used for long-term stays for new guest.

Eher ein kleines familiäres Hostel, man kommt schnell mit anderen Reisenden in Kontakt, wenn man das denn will. Ich war in einem 6 Bett, jedes Bett war in eiber art Kapsel, was etwas Privats Sphäre gab. Im Keller gab es eine Art gemeinschafts Raum mit Sofas und Klapptischen, spartanisch aber gemütlich. Würde Wiederkommen!.

Overall, not great, but not terrible either. The self check in service was a new experience, but left me feeling somewhat cold, as it felt like there was no staff on the premises to help you out if you needed it. The building and rooms themselves also smelled pretty old/musty. The Pods were a nice touch, but my underbed locker was broken. Location was great though.

Had a great time and most people loved to chill and talk in the kitchen and common area

The "pods" arrangememnt works really well - it really feels like your own space. I do question whether it is legal to put 8 people into such a small room - and there certainly wasn't enough space given that most people had large bags that couldn't fit into the storage space provided so basically took up the floor space. I also thought that one toilet and sink for 8 people was inadequate. The worst thing was that the cold tap in the room didn't work at all!

Clean room and bathroom. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We didn't see any member of the staff (I think so at least), but it's kinda intended. Arrival instructions were clear. Good location, with the sea front just down the street. The wifi reception was poor in the bedroom but good in the lounge room downstairs.

HO SOGGIORNATO PRESSO LA STRUTTORA PER DUE NOTTI. NEL COMPLESSO MI SONO TROVATO MOLTO BENE, SOPRATTUTTO CON ALEX, GESTORE DELLA STRUTTURA, CHE É RIUSCITO A GESTIRE IN TEMPI BREVI PICCOLE PROBLEMATICHE ED É STATO MOLTO GENTILE NEI MIEI CONFRONTI. DA RIDIRE UN POCHINO SULLA PULIZIA, IN PARTICOLARE DEL BAGNO, CHE NON ERA IL MASSIMO

L'ambiance était très spéciale. La réception n'était jamais ouverte parce que le gérant était en vacances ?? J'ai fait près de 10 hostels et je n'ai jamais vu ça... La propreté de la cuisine laisse à désirer: gros amas de calcaire dans la bouilloire, pas de couvercle sur la poubelle, poêles et casseroles dans un état doutable. La chambre était correcte et la salle de bain aussi. Heureusement, j'ai rencontré de chouettes personnes durant mon séjour. En conclusion, cela fait l'aff...

Entrée escaliers de rue très sales. Casseroles et poêles inutilisables, rouillées, fonds abîmés et cancérigènes. Etat général dégradé dans les parties communes, meubles abîmés, peintures écaillees partout. Chambre mixte de 10 M2; on était 6 personnes, côté rue,. très bruyant le vendredi soir avec le bar qui fait l'angle. Heureusement la jeune femme de ménage passe tous les matins. Mo est réactif par sms. Alex je ne sais pas qui sait... Delphine

Had a really nice stay here! Staff was very nice and helpful, could’ve been a bit cleaner, but as there are carpeted floors it’s hard to get rid of all dirt.

This hostel has self check in so check your email before you arrive there!! I really liked it here and i was really happy with everything. Staff was really nice and helpful and i got to store my luggage in the room after checkout for no extra charge. Which is adaquate since i still think it’s a little overpriced. I stayed in London with the same facilities and paid less.

excellent location in the centre of town and near the pier, mostly people staying here long term so the vibe is pretty quiet, but a nice place to stay for a couple of nights

Decent location, walkable from the train station and very close to the pier and pavilion. Check in is complicated if, like me, you don't spend every waking hour glued to a cellphone. Spent 10 minutes ringing the doorbell until someone walked past and saw me there (another guest had already walked by and ignored me). An email was sent giving me details of how to get in but I am not constantly checking them. After that was sorted it was ok.

Love those pods!! So cozy and the curtains gave much privacy! Clean, prime location (literally 2 minutes from the pier!) and shower was powerful and hot. Would definitely come back again :))

I stayed at Happy Brighton last summer and I’m back this time visiting some friends. Really like the privacy of pods. Rooms are clean and the best part is the living room and kitchen area. I work remotely so I am able to use this area to do some online work. Highly recommended and would definitely return!
