  I came to stay here for 3 days ended up staying for 3 weeks. :) it wasn’t about the hostel itself but the hostel was great. If you are looking for a peaceful stay in the middle of Saigon center this is a clear choice. Thuy, the owner is amazing and super helpful with anything you need. Also, you can find lots of eating and shopping options in the little streets nearby. Looking forward to seeing you again! :))

  Had a great one night stay here. The multi share rooms are really cozy and comfy. Bathrooms are clean. Rooftop is a great little place to socialise with other people. Thuy was really friendly. Very close to Buy Vien but no noise from the street. Big props to the beef stew they serve downstairs as well, delicious! Thanks so much for having me :)

  Located in a maze of small streets, this hostel can be difficult to find but once you get familiar with the street map it's fun to traverse the winding streets to get there. It is pretty tight quarters, there is not a ton of room but the hostel has done a good job organizing the space. The rooftop patio is very lovely. The host was so amazing and the highlight for me. She has a beautifully natural charm to her that makes you feel instantly welcomed.

  In the heart of Bùi Viện walking street and still a very quite place from all party noises, the owner is an amazing person very helpful and friendly, definitely a good place to stay ✔️

  Surprisingly good, clean, and well maintained. It's airconditioned, has hot shower and toiletries, and bunk beds have fair enough space. Location is nice if you like to party at night because it is located in the Bar Street. Overall the hostel itself is good. The problem is it's all mixed gender in a room, and it's located inside a maze/alley that stinks.. so it's not really for people who are sensitive with smell and polution.

  The hostel just changed to a new owner in early November. Not as friendly and hospitable as the old owner. I paid in advance for 5 days of stay, but on the 3rd day, she said that a new guest had booked, asking me to move to another place, I did not agree, she took my personal belongings away to make way for other guests. And DID NOT REFUND THE REMAINING 2 DAYS TO ME.

  The owner is very unfriendly. I stayed at this hostel for 3 days, and apparently the ownership changed last year. I can’t understand the good reviews and didn’t feel comfortable at all. It was very dirty. There were bed bugs in two of the beds, and the owner didn’t care. The area feels very unsafe — not recommended for women.

  The place itself is not bad value for money. It is located close to the walking street and near the center of the city. It's narrow and cramped in general, with the bathrooms quite difficult to navigate. The bed cubicles have a fair amount of room and good curtains. For what you pay I would say it's reasonable. The experience was alright until the last day when someone stole my cash and another guys wallet from the dorm. When I told the owner about my cash, she had no reaction and was not helpful at all. When the guy asked about the cameras, she said they were off. The building seems quite secure as there's a code lock on the front door you can access with pin or card. Unfortunately for the guy and I, we both accidentally left our stuff outside the locker: mine in my bag on the top bunk and his by his stuff on the bottom. The window of time this could've happened was quite small as the guy was out only a few hours without his wallet and I was out a bit longer. When I left, the owner was downstairs and she was still there when I came back. Given the lock on the front door, it seems like there would only be the guests or the owner and employees that would have access to the money and wallet. I feel like barely any effort by the owner went into assisting in this situation. Getting money stolen is annoying, but a whole wallet is devastating and it happened on their first day in the country. It's not a big hostel either and since it was during the day, the amount of people around was pretty minimal and the owner was on the premises when this happened. The cameras being off makes the situation very suspicious.
