Meilleur hostel que j’ai fait

Shout out to Jack, Juju, Jeff and Aven for making our Hoi an experience an incredibly enjoyable time. Events on every night from pub crawls to quizzes with great prizes up for grabs. Rooms were clean as well as the toilets and showers. Nice pool and nice restaurant, however it was slightly on the pricy side. You can book all your transport and activities through reception as well which is a great perk. Would 100% recommend staying here.

I only stayed here one night on my way to Saigon. If you are looking to meet fellow backpackers this is the place for you, this hostel is very social. There are activities advertised all around that they can help you book. The hostel is a short walk away from the Old town/market area and It's a short Grab ride to the beach.

+ Très bien situé : proche du centre sans être trop bruyant. Chambre très confortable et propre

- Le bureau de l’accueil : pas trop pro. La salle de restaurant : vieille, abîmée, a besoin d’être rafraîchie

Clean hostel in a great central location in Hoi An. The food and drinks were nice, they had some fun events at night, and it was quiet in the dorms regardless of what was happening downstairs.

+ Great location. Spacious room and comfortable bed. A five to ten minute walk to restaurants, shops and bars. All the staff were friendly and very polite. The reception and restaurant area were clean. The outside space around the pool was nice

- The rooms are a bit tired and could do with a renovation. The shower could do with a proper enclosure instead of a roller blind screen which doesn't really serve a purpose. Water from the shower splashes into the main area in the bathroom leaving puddles. The wicker sofa on the balcony was way past it's best and uncomfortable. Sun loungers around the pool need replacing

No bathrooms on second floor so had to go downstairs and around the pool just to use the toilet. Signs everywhere telling us not to complain because we booked the cheapest room… Big spaces between the beds so it was easy to lose stuff, ac wasn’t on during the day so it was incredibly hot. It was very social and I did have a fantastic time on the pub crawl and the volunteers were great. 75,000 dong for a beer is ridiculous though. Overall I did have a good time but a lot of things were strang...

Ich fande es sehr enttäuschend! Es fing damit an, dass das Personal eher genervt und unmotiviert wirkte. Die Betten waren wirklich steinhart und in meinem Bett, direkt an der Tür, ist das einzige Fenster des Zimmers und das zeigt zum Flur in dem das Licht NIE ausgeht… Das heisst: ganze Nacht wurde es nie richtig dunkel! Dazu sind die Klimaanlagen nur in den Zimmern vorhanden, nur von 11-19 uhr an und das ist bei der Hitze in Hoi An eine absolute Frechheit. Sehr enttäuschend

Nice enough place. Aircon is turned off during the day meaning rooms are really hot at night when you go to bed and Hoi An is so hot it takes a while for them to cool down. Consistent trend with the free water not being available after a certain time so just need to be proactive about getting it in the day

Great place for the price, room was nice and big, beds were comfortable and the fan was a nice touch. Washrooms were nice but the toilets were very cramped. Staff were nice and there social activities you can do but a weird vibe sometimes. Nice location on the river and 5 min walk from the bars!
