We arrived and the hostel was under construction. We walked in and they said theyre closed for repairs. After some translating and showing them our booking, they eventually took us across the street and we stayed there without paying extra which was nice. They should have records of their booking though, and notify their customers if they are closed

Read at your own risk.
My stay was quite okay. The staff where helpful, polite and welcoming. I am just bothered about the cleanliness. I mean the hostel lobby should be pleasantly clean sad to say, the footwear lockers are located at the entrance and the smell of feet emanates all over the place. The room was okay as well but the housekeeping dept can do better. The location is quite okay. It is near to most must sees in the city.

Good value for the price i paid. Very cose to the main night life of ho chi min too. Just a minute walk away from the hotel. Staff was very helpfull. There is also a rooftop at the 6th floor of this hotel that not many people know of. Other then those who are already staying at the 6th floor. Do check it out as other travellers do sometimes gather out there and have a chat and a drink or. Too.

Good sharing female room
Easy walk to the main Street bars and sightseeings but a bit tricky to find. They have lockers on the room and a private bathroom for the 4 people we were shearing. I slept well and was clean. A bit disappointed with the breakfast but the rest was ok. I will go again

Nice place on interesting small street
Nice place, friendly staff, good breakfast. Not very easy to find in the back streets but those streets were interesting and much nicer than the main drag. 5 steps right out of the door on the left is a good food stall.

First, it's a hostel. It's relative. Location, just off the strip of the action. Breakfast daily was good. Staff are awesomely friendly and helpful. Rooms are basic but clean and safe. Common area downstairs is small but cozy. Not a party hostel but a great spot.
