  Sleeping box is nice, cheap price and near some amazing food street. In the ground floor, we have drinks at night. The place is also near the front beach of Vung Tau city. The owner of the hostel is friendly. She always asks the guests where you intend to you and show you the directions. Love the way she manages her hostel.

  Sweet deal here. Very clean and efficient joint! Very helpful owners. Everything was perfect for a hostel. Wifi works amazing! Actually not glitchy like so many other places. Great location. Highlands and The Coffee House. Less a two mins walk. The little shop two doors down makes a mean breakfast pho for 30,000! Beach and exercise could not be easier as the park is right near by and the ocean is two steps past the park for a ocean dip in the evening.

  It is very clean but felt very corporate to me with the open bays like prisons. Toilet paper out in the bathroom which was a little hike even for private rooms that had Hello Kitty themes. No courtyard. No community spaces. No hostel like things such as plants growing in plastic containers or swings from half pallets or seats from old tires and string. No writing on the wall from clients. Shades for dorm beds nice for privacy seekers nice but the one person occupying didn't use them. I don't know Maybe we need each other and this hostel owner doesn't recognize this fact.

  If you plan to sleep don't stay here. Bright and early the local kids and parents that stay here like get up before 6am and have loud conversations while their kids run around screaming. Two days in a row. Absolutely zero respect for other people around them. Bed was comfortable, facilities were nice.... I will never stay here again though. The kids were running around screaming past midnight and up before 6 doing the same.

  I do not recommend this hostel. Several listings on Agoda are inaccurate or misleading. “24-hour front desk” is not true. AC is not included in the base price. Amenities listed such as beach, free parking, fitness centre, bar, golf course, and water park are not on-site or affiliated with the hostel — they are nearby attractions. I booked and paid through Agoda and requested early check-in (10–11am). There was no response through Agoda, Zalo, or email. When I arrived at 10am, no one was at reception despite the 24-hour listing. I waited 30 minutes and returned later. Check-in was disorganized and unclear. It was difficult to identify staff or where to park my bicycle. I was charged an additional 50k for AC and 30k for one hour early check-in. This made the total 80k higher than the advertised price. AC was ineffective in the enclosed bunk design. Showers were dirty, several shower fixtures were broken, water pressure was poor, and some stalls had no hot water. Toilets upstairs smelled strongly; the downstairs toilet was dirty. Dorm bunks are beside common areas and not in a separate room. During my stay, someone smoked in the dorm area. Overall, the experience was disorganized and more expensive than advertised.

  This hostel is very clean. The showers are great and there are facilities to wash and dry your clothes. I noticed a toad (frog) jumping around the sleeping area, which wasn't a major concern. Wifi is good. Walking distance to ferry terminal. The only thing that lets this hostel down is the beds are so hard. These are hardest beds I have come across in Vietnam. I liked the bed set up up with power points and blind. The portable air conditioner was an interesting idea.

  New hostel close to front beach. Very clean, staff are exceptional and Sarah and her mum went out of their way to make sure our stay was the best it could be. On the morning we left they even arranged to have breakfast delivered for our early start. Highly recommended!
