  Great accommodation and highly recommended…this hostel offers clean, comfortable rooms with comfy beds and fresh linens, welcoming common areas like a cozy lounge and well-equipped kitchen, and a friendly, responsive staff that’s full of handy local tips. The location is prime for easy access to sights and transit, providing excellent value with reliable Wi‑Fi, secure bookings, and extras like travel info. Overall, it’s a reliable, sociable choice I’d happily stay at again. 😊🥳

  Very few toilets/showers. 1 per floor. About 16-20 beds per floor. Not enough. Cleanliness is a 1 *. Should be cleaned many times per day. Every 1 or 2 hours cause too many people's for 1 bathroom. Many full time tenants and smells bad. Easy to resolve but doing nothing about cleanliness and smelling. If the price is the only main criteria, it's ok .

  really cheap so that's good but not the best stay for me. men constantly smoking in the bathroom and on the stairs next to the room so it stunk everywhere. really loud. handy location. not very clean and only one bathroom for a floor of 16 people so good luck having a shower 😂

  i never disagreed so much with all the good ratings and really wonder about them. first of all there is no well managed reception. just an improvised table with almost never anyone behind it. you are constantly confused who might be working there. the beds are making sounds with every movement, and the lockers are so small that you cant even fit a small bag inside it. which means that the room is also messy, because everyone is leaving their belongings on the floor. the curtains are not really good, and in general this place is of older age already. at the reception table you will find a whatsapp number to call for help, but noone reacts to texts or calls at all. they dont provide any form of entry key or code, so literally everyone could walk straight up to your bed. the location is also not really nice. to reach the hostel in that small street you first have to walk along a very loud road. its not calm or relaxing at all. i stayed in cheaper but better places in HCM.

  Bad. Not very clean, Personally I got a bed near the window and it sounds like I'm in the middle of street, there's not even a curtain to block the light from outside. Only one toilet/shower for each floor, and the wifi is very weak.

  No towel given, bed very poor, blanket is not good, so much of mosquitoes, only one restroom for 2 floors. 4th floor doesn't have restroom. No response from receptionist and through call,mail or message. Sockets are not working its died. Used to charge my gadgets using kitchen socket. No free water given. Disappointed for a single night. They are only focusing on money. Very noisy even mid night

  We booked an accommodation long time ago on booking.com and arrived yesterday night. Unfortunately us and some more people were told that there is no more rooms available for us even if the booking let us book. So we ended up looking for another place in the middle of the nights + the booking sent a notification that we never showed up and that we will be charged. So we are trying to fix it with the customer service support now… Unbelievable.
