My stay here was honestly terrible. The bathrooms were consistently dirty and wet, and the toilets were often left full of waste. I was placed in a room with only men, and during the night the guest in the bunk above me ************ for over two hours, it was extremely uncomfortable. In the morning, the guest in front of me was also ************. Overall, it was a very unpleasant and distressing experience, and I would not recommend staying here

Someone needs to call health inspection. Overheard the plumber telling a worker they have black mold & worker said he’d fix it himself. At one point the dorm room smelled like there was a gas leak somewhere. Beds are fine, bathrooms are horrendous. 1 bathroom per floor of 20 people. No security at night, they leave a note saying which beds are empty & you’ll pay in the morning. Staff is friendly.

Cleanest hostel in HCM within the price range. I stayed in July, everything looked pretty much new: the aircons, they’ve got big water boilers, bed liners all fresh. The quilt was quite big (I’m very tall) The bathrooms were properly cleaned as well as the common area looked neat and tidy. There are plenty of little restaurants across that open till late and Cirkle K right next 24/7. Exceptionally pleasant experience!

Good location,clean and comfy beds. Was abit basic but great value for money the rooms are on the small side but the AC is pretty elite. Had an enjoyable stay and the host was very welcoming. Would strongly recommend for a short trip to Ho Chi Minh

Nice hostel, with nice staff. Walking distance from the best attractions, but far enough to avoid touristic prices. Service are good and staff are really available to meet your exigencies and request✌️

The good thing about the hostel was its location. Things I didn't like, the rooms were small, the locker size was small. There was only one washroom available for 2 dormitories, that means 20 people and 1 washroom. also the washroom was quite dirty. I stayed in 3 hostels in HCMC, and I would say there are plenty of hostels available at this price and with better amenities and cleanliness. The staff of the Bandlive hostel asked me to give 10 star, but I just want to be honest with my review.
