I really enjoyed staying here!! The bathrooms in the 14 bed dorm were among some of the nicest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a hostel. WiFi and aircon are phenomenal as well. Rooms are cleaned everyday and staff is amazing. The pub crawl is super fun too!!

+ Great location, sociable, good bunks, safe lockers, room locks

- Showers were a bit lacklustre, also they offer 2 for 1 on some bits from 8:30 to 9:30 and 9:30 to 10:30 but if the bartender isn’t there this isn’t possible

- The bathrooms can be used by anyone and the floor was a little dirty sometimes because people stepped in with outdoor shoes

+ Generally convenient and nice people around.

- I am not totally sure of the advantages of a hostel over a cheap hotel or homestay these days - I realize there is a lot of competition. I think the advantage of staying in a hostel/dorm is meeting other travelers and exchanging recommendations. Otherwise, you don't save much compared to a private room at a cheaper hotel from what I can tell. Still, a good atmosphere for sure.

+ Lovley staff, great location

- They wouldnt change the aircon from 23 degrees. In a big room of 14 people this was unbearably hot. We ended up getting a new hotel

+ Centrally located

- We pre booked an airport shuttle. We waited 20 minutes and no one came so we organised our own ride. The hostel didn't give us real time communication options. Only an email which on previous occasions took several hrs or a day to respond. The hostel insisted we pay for the booked transfer in addition to our self organised transfer. We argued and eventually paid half. Our experience in vietnam at other venues was they engaged with us on whatsapp before arriving, allowing real time communication. We would have used this at the airport to find our driver if we had it as an option. The hostel never apologised for there part in the mix up. Just pushed it on us that it was completely our fault

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Lovely guy on reception also gave great local recommendations- including a bakery that i visited everyday! Would 100% recommend.

Honestly the best hostel I stayed at in Vietnam in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The AC kept the building nice and cold, the beds were super comfy and the bathrooms were always clean! They have a beanbag area to chill downstairs but didn’t have the most social vibes (although they did have pub crawls at another hostel every couple days). Perfect if you want a comfortable place to decompress.
