Excellent place to start in Vietnam. The staff are so friendly, the dorms are clean and quiet and the location is excellent. They’re always happy to joke with you and can set you up with anything you need. Highly recommended stay.

Exceeded our expectations
Our first ever trip to Ho Chi Minh city was wonderful because we chose to stay at this hostel. At first we were not very sure about it since this place was new but it exceeded our expectations. The room was very clean and comfortable and even though there were six of us in a 10 person bedroom, we were never bothered by the other guests because the bathrooms were in opposite sides of the rooms and we had our own little corner. They cleaned the whole room every single day and even changed our towels twice in our whole stay. The best part though is really the hostel owner, Anna. On our first day she called us over to the counter and wrote down all of her recommended restaurants and tourist sites which was so helpful since we did not research a lot about the place. All the places she recommended did not disappoint. She truly cares about the guests and makes everyone comfortable. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone who is on a budget but wants to stay in a comfortable, clean place. It has a very homey feel as well.

Sociable place, would stay again.
This is the most social hostel I’ve stayed at so far, although the common area is very small, I had a private room and was still able to socialise. The staff are very friendly and willing to help and advise. I felt very welcome here. Unfortunately the sink in my room was broken and there were some ants on the floor, but otherwise the room was perfect. There was no restaurant in the hostel which I thought had been advertised so that was a shame, but plenty of places to eat nearby.

Flott backpackersted . Anbefales
Veldig ok backpackersted. Naturligvis ikke den høyeste standarden, litt hard send, men kaldt og godt på rommet , og vask og dusj lett tilgjengelig. Veldig hjelpsomme i resepsjonen. Fikser reiser videre på en enkel måte. Får kjøpt vann og annen drikke der. Ligger veldig sentralt, nært matsteder, bargate , dagligvare og kafeer. Lett å komme i kontakt med andre reisene her. Anbefales
