  Can’t ask for a much better stay in HCMC! This was my 2nd time in the city and I thought the location was perfect, being close to everything in D1 while also being relatively calm with lots of local food options. Rooms were extremely clean and beds were very comfy; tours and transportation bookings can also be done here. Most importantly there’s a rooftop with a killer view, everyone is so welcoming and treats you like family, and Willow is super chill!

  Had an amazing stay here for 3 nights! The hostel is super clean, the beds and rooms are great, and the rooftop is really cool. The vegan breakfast by Shaun was delicious, the staff were incredibly nice, and they even have a super cute dog. Loved the free evening drinks Special shoutout for giving us a roll of toilet paper for our night bus — such a funny and sweet gesture we actually needed it Would definitely stay again!

  I've stayed there for 3 night which were incredibly surprising. After my 2 weeks sleeping in hostels with mostly non English speaking which was hard to socialize. I got to this place which was full of solo travelers which make me feel really good and safe. The vibe there is non party but very socialize and in good location. I can definitely recommend. The only thing I was missing is that I haven't been notified about the WhatsApp group which made me lose some activities

  This is the best hostel to stay in Saigon! It’s super social without being a “party” hostel. Rooms and facilities are clean and comfortable. The girls who work the hostel are the sweetest - so kind and friendly and they will help you with whatever you need. Bonus cute dog named Willow.

  I personally had a “funny” episode one of the nights with another guest and the owner acted accordingly. I value the willingness to strive of the owner wanting to chat with the guests and reconsider her own decisions. She makes you feel on the same level as her, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The vibe is cool, the tours are very cheap compared to other websites and the rooms are good enough for a backpacker for the price listed plus one free beer pp every evening. Thank you Willow’s Mum:)

  Not a party hostel and that is good! The vibe in this place is amazing and I met so many wonderful fellow travelers. The host and her dog are lovely, and the location is very convenient. Plus: rooftop and one free beer every evening. I had a perfect experience and I highly recommend staying here!

  Had a really great time here. Really enjoyed the company of the other guests. From 7pm you get a free beer and can socialize on the rooftop. Up there is also a fridge and a kitchen which is really helpful. The showers sometimes weren‘t warm, but it doesn‘t really matter because it‘s hot in Saigon anyway😂

  The staff is nice and helpful to book tours and transportation. The view from the rooftop bar is nice and drinking water to fill up your bottle is available. The dorm rooms had a very good air-condition, curtains in front of every bed and charger and little cupboard at every bed, lockers are provided for every bed. Overall cleanyness was ok, though it seems that they never vacuum or mop the floor, also a trash bin in the room would be nice. Bathrooms were clean but quite small, decent shower pressure. The location is very close to the main bus stop for local busses and there is a lot to see around. 8 min walk to the party district. Be aware there is no elevator to go upstairs is only one staircase. Quite a social hostel but not a party place.
