  Very nice hostel! There's all what you can wish: comfortable beds with curtains, lent towels, hot shower in modern bathroom, aircon dorms, very cozy chilling areas with the last-floor terrace, parking area for motorbike... More than that: the owner guy is so lovely and communicative, very welcoming and relaxed. And there are inspiring sentences and drawings all over the walls everywhere in the hostel. I really recommend it!

  One of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever seen in 2 months of South East Asia! Dorm room is really large, beds are big, and and the bathroom is spacious (you get a nice shower that doesn’t spill water all over the toilet) The hostel is really nicely decorated the owner is really nice and fun to talk to, he told me a lot about Vietnam and his life here, I hanged out with him for a few hours at the hostel

  A good quiet hostel in very good location, literally 5 minutes from the beach and right next to the night market. The beds are big with curtains, AC runs great, the bathrooms are clean and modern. What's interesting is that the top bunk has a proper staircase between the beds for access, not a ladder so it makes it very easy to climb up. The owner was very nice, let us in early in the morning and even booked a last minute snorkeling tour for us. The hostel doesn't have a proper common area to hang around, just 2 couches on a balcony so it might not be that great for socializing. The hostel closes the gate at night so you have to ring the bell to enter. There are plenty of food options close to the hostel. Overall a very good choice if you're not into party hostels.

  This hotestel is centrally located, clean and has lots of bathrooms. The dormitory beds are huge and have curtains. Each bed has its own light and charge point. The air con is more than adequate. There are lockers under the beds. Used to be the cheapest in town but now after a 30% price increase is just average.

  My stay was over the lunar new year period and therefore taxi/Grab prices shot up considerably. The hostel owner was kind enough to call a taxi for me directly, at a more reasonable price. The location of the hostel is excellent, and only a few minutes walk away from the beach, The beds are spacious, each bed has a nice little box to put rechargeable gadgets etc however, the beds are a little too hard for my liking. The rooms are fit for purpose and the en-suite bathroom is a nice feature. The lockers do not require padlocks, you can use the keys issued by the hostel.

  Let Petite Prince has a ways to go before it meets the standards of other hostels I've been to over my last few weeks in Asia. The hostel is new so I can see how the owner (and sole staff member) hasn't gotten a grip on things yet. To start, the hostel has a large gate that is constantly locked. To get in or out you have to buzz a bell for the owner to come and let you in/out. And if the owner isn't in, like what happened to me when I arrived to check in (note: the TripAdvisor page for the hostel shows that it has a 24hr reception) then you may as well leave and try again a few hours later. The place has been open over a month, and there is still only one staff member. So if he goes to sleep at night and you arrive back at 2am after a night out, he will have to wake up to come and let you in. Firstly, that is not good for him. Secondly, and this hasn't happened to me, but what if the buzz doesn't wake him? Yeah... The room was fine only. The aircon was weak and to get to the top bunk there is a very widespread ladder at the foot of the bed. I fell twice from this while trying to get down, once knocking over the room's fan with my fall. The room didn't have a bathroom. Our shared bathroom was past the hall, through the next dorm of 8 beds, and then you get to the bathroom... So for us to get to the bathroom we had to disturb a room of 8 others where we weren't staying... A little odd as far as hostels go. And that room of 8 can lock their door. So what happened me one morning was their room was locked, so I went downstairs to use the other bathroom and it was being mopped, so I had to wait for the mopping to finish and dry. Finally, the owner was fairly chirpy and helpful, but very pushy and tried to force conversations. We felt a little interrogated about him asking us where we had gone for dinner one night, and asked why we didn't go to the place he had suggested. He needs to take a step back from the receptionist work if you ask me.

  The hostel is clean, big room, good shower, location is really good, just 5 minutes walk to the beach, bars, restaurants, helpful staffs. They have lockers with key, towel free and fill water. Great atmosphere! I recommend!

  Best location: close to the beach restaraunts, bars and in the same time the place is quiet. The hostel has its own atmosphere. It is clean and cozy) There is a small bar downstairs, where you can communicate with other customers or spend time while you wait for a bus
