Hostel

🫤 The hostel feels claustrophobic and there is a lack of any sunlight or windows outside. The woman behind reception doesn't even say good morning to you,a real diva type girl... just walks straight past you. I found the customer service here was minimal. You can make a hostel as pretty as a picture,... People often mention hostel, clean, room, good, staff, stay, location, nice, Clean, service,

    My two-night stay at this hostel in Vietnam left me with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the hostel is undoubtedly clean and well-equipped, with facilities that meet basic traveler needs. However, the overall experience was marred by some notable drawbacks. Firstly, the staff lacked the friendliness and warmth that I've come to expect from hostels around the world. The atmosphere felt somewhat unwelcoming, making it less inviting for guests to socialize and connect. A significant concern was the presence of cameras in the rooms, which made me uncomfortable and raised privacy issues. Furthermore, the hostel's strict rules, such as not allowing our own indoor flip-flops and moving guests' belongings, contributed to a rigid and somewhat inhospitable environment. The breakfast was a disappointment as well. The limited selection of toast, jam, butter, milk, instant noodles, and peanut butter left much to be desired. To make matters worse, the responsibility of cleaning up after breakfast was placed on the guests, and the common area for breakfast felt cramped and not spacious enough for everyone. In summary, while the hostel does excel in cleanliness and amenities, the overall experience was dampened by unfriendly staff, intrusive cameras, strict rules, and an underwhelming breakfast setup. For those seeking a more welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, you might want to explore other options in the area.

    The hostel feels claustrophobic and there is a lack of any sunlight or windows outside. The woman behind reception doesn't even say good morning to you,a real diva type girl... just walks straight past you. I found the customer service here was minimal. You can make a hostel as pretty as a picture, but if the staff aren't warm or ignore you, then for me it ruins the whole experience. Sorry. Won't be returning.

    Lovely place for backpackers. The lobby is relaxing and you can find some travelers working there or sipping coffee in the communal kitchen behind the counter. The staff at the reception can speak english very well and also takes time, when they are free, to chat with you. The rooms are ergonomic and comfortable (equipped with AC, do not be fooled by my pictures, the fans are just there to propagate the fresh air through the whole room), the communal shower and toilets are very clean (cleaned everyday from what I've seen). They can also recommend you some very affordable trips around Ho Chi Minh whether it's for visiting the Mekong delta or the Cu Chi tunnels that the Vietkongs used during wartimes.

    We had a most excellent stay here - it's a new hostel and we enjoyed the dorm room a lot. There's curtains for complete privacy and there's a little mirror/ desk thing which came very handy. The rooms are very quiet, though it does make for less of a social atmosphere. Location is perfect, more than walkable to everything you'd want in HCMC. Staff were generally friendly and happy to help out with booking tours or finding out info.

    (Translated by Google) Everything is satisfactory. Location 5 minutes from Boulevard Street and 10 minutes from Ben Thanh Market. The only drawback is that the ladder going up and down on the second floor bed is a little uncomfortable because it does not have a handle. ㅎ It is recommended that you use a narrow first floor toilet and an upstairs toilet. The dryer is on top. Anyway recommended. (Original) 모든게 만족스럽습니다. 위치 부이비엔 거리에서 5분, 벤탄시장 10분 정말 딱 좋고요. 유일한 단점이라면 2층침대 왔다갔다 하는 사다리가 손잡이가 없어서 좀 불편해요ㅎㅎ 화장실은 웬만하면 좁은 1층 말도 윗층 화장실 사용하시길 추천 드립니다. 드라이기도 위에만 있어요. 아무튼 추천.

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in ever. I stayed here with my girlfriend in the double bed dorm room and it was incredible. The hostel is down a little cute alleyway away from the busy streets of HCMC. Amazing location. The perfect stay in HCMC.

    Clean, new, nice staff, private box bed Shower- grand floor 1 bathroom, 1st floor two shower separated from toilet. Warm water Kitchen- well equipped, having everything including kettle, toaster and microwave. Refrigerator big enough. Room- private curtain, locker, light, two consents, perfect. The air conditioning according to other guest's preference though:( it's not hostel's fault Equippment- many things including hair dryer free to use. They also do photocopy service at front for fee. You can also buy 1.5L water at the front desk for the price 10.000 đ. Staff- friendly, nice, helping a lot Location- super! You can walk to the Be thanh Market, Takashimaya or many other famous places :)

    Great staff, really polite and helpful. Rooms are very clean as well as common areas. I would agree with some people below - it does feel a bit claustrophobic. Also anyone from the street can potentially enter your room (there are no locks at your room where you sleep and it’s not really checked by the staff who comes and who leaves the hostel).

    The dormbeds are really nice. Lots of space and curtains for privacy. However the whole atmosphere in the hostel is little strange. Stuff doesn't seem bothered about people. The breakfast is very very limited and 24/7 they'll play some piano music in the common area. Also they have a grumpy dog. Like I am wondering why to keep him in a hostel if he's behaving rude with people?

  • 5/5 Quang Duy P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unique and beautiful hostel design. Good price. Enthusiastic staff.   My room is in dorm room 8 single beds, beds with large and large storage cabinets, there is a space for furniture to do, mattresses are smooth and clean. The room has air conditioning and a curtain between each bed, making me feel free and private, despite being with 7 others :) Shared bathrooms and toilets are clean, well-ventilated, and hygienic every day. Bathroom with shampoo and bath soap. However, toilets use paper (quite annoying for Vietnamese people, but foreigners are fine). (Original) Thiết kế hostel độc đáo và đẹp. Giá cả tốt. Nhân viên nhiệt tình. Phòng mình ở là phòng dorm 8 giường đơn, giường có tủ để đồ to và rộng, có một khoảng giường làm để đồ, nệm êm và sạch sẽ. Phòng có máy lạnh và rèm che giữa mỗi giường, làm cho mình cảm thấy có sự tự do và riêng tư, mặc dù đang ở chung với 7 người khác :) Nhà tắm và nhà vệ sinh chung sạch sẽ, thông thoáng, có người vệ sinh mỗi ngày. Phòng tắm có xà bông gội đầu và tắm. Tuy nhiên nhà vệ sinh dùng giấy (khá gây khó chịu cho người Việt Nam, nhưng khách nước ngoài thì ổn).

  • 5/5 路克自家用 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I only wanted to stay for two nights, but because it was really great, I added another two nights. This time, I went to Ho Chi Minh to find a stay card for a long time. I have always been a backpacker. After all, I have already traveled alone. I hope I might have the opportunity to meet some different travelers and talk. So when looking for an inn, I care about a few things: the environment is clean, there is a safe, and the bed is comfortable with a bed curtain. Because it’s too hard to get up and eat breakfast in the morning, XD and the food outside is better than the place to eat, so I won’t pick breakfast after I’m in Osaka, unless it’s served at 1200XDDDD. Toi Inn, in addition to no breakfast, but also added a simple, bathing hot water, and the location in the center, the past north and south things are convenient to move, about ten minutes from Fan Wu Lao Street, each attraction walk about half an hour After the day, you can go back to take a shower, rest and go out, very smooth. Going in the opposite direction, there is a traditional market, next to many coffee shops, restaurants, quiet and convenient. Some people say that the hot water here is not enough. It should take a little time, because I feel that the hot water is hot enough every day~ Some inns have to pay for the elevators. It is not necessary here. I have not taken it. The music on the first floor before going out every morning is very nice. The waiter at the counter is very enthusiastic in answering questions in English. I can also help you to call the car and use the map to introduce many attractions to me. Finally, to live in such a six-person room for an average of $250 a night, it is too good value! There is no access control problem, go out to play at night, go to the door and tell the security staff about the room number to enter. (Original) 本來只想住兩晚的,但因為真的太棒了,所以又加住了兩晚。 這次到胡志明找住宿卡超久的,一直以來都以著背包客棧為主,畢竟已經是一個人旅行了,希望可能有機會認識一些不同的旅客,聊聊。 所以在找客棧時,在意幾件事:環境乾淨、有保險櫃、床舒服有床簾。 因為早上要爬起來吃早餐實在太辛苦了XD而且外面的食物可能比住處的更好吃,所以從大阪後就不挑早餐的,除非它供到1200XDDDD Toi客棧呢,除了沒早餐之外,還加上了出入單純、洗澡有熱水,而且位置在中央,所以往南北東西移動都方便,離范五老街約十分鐘,各景點步行約半小時;白天結束後,可以回去沖個澡、休息再出門,都很順。 往反方向走,有傳統市場,旁邊很多咖啡店,餐廳,安靜又方便。 有人說這裡的熱水不夠,應該是需要一點時間等,因為我每天都覺得熱水夠熱很舒服~ 有的客棧搭電梯要收費,這裡(應該)也不用,我是沒搭啦。 每天早上出門前一樓的清音樂很好聽,櫃檯的服務員很熱心用英文回答問題、也可以幫忙叫車、還用地圖跟我介紹很多景點。 最後,以平均一晚$250能住到這樣的六人房,實在是太超值了! 沒有門禁問題,晚上出去玩,到門口跟安全人員說一下房號就可以進門。

    It was the worst place we ever sleep at, on our trip. The people who work in the reception were not nice at all. They yelled at us and treated at us in unpleasant way. I’m very disappointed, all the reviews that we’ve read, don’t reflected the real things about this place. I wish for you to read this review and do not book even a single in this horrible hostel. If the staff do nothing in order to satisfied his customers, you don’t want to be there. The only good thing I can say, the hostel is well designed and clean.

  • 5/5 Hario K. 4 years ago on Google
    I took this property because it is centrally located. Well, at least less that 30 minutes of walk to main tourists attractions in HCMC. I am a moslem and it is only a 10 minutes walk to a street near Ben Than market loaded with moslem restaurants. Plenty of convenience stores, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Located in an alley but not difficult to find. Grab drivers can always pick and drop me at this property with no difficulties. Reception staffs are great. Great and well maintained facilities. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

    I tried to contact them by message and they didn't respond to let me know that I would need to check in later. If it wasn't possible, they would tell me to look for another hostel. I arrived at the hostel after reception hours and they told me that I could only stay if I left my passport as a guarantee. This is unacceptable! The passport is the main document we have when traveling. I had to find another place to sleep with 24-hour reception in a hurry. And pay attention to the reviews. I suspect they are fake to get a good grade.

  • 5/5 Rachel E. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    We had a private room with shared bathroom, which was clean and perfect for us. Very close to the centre to walk most places, but also tucked away so was very quiet and we slept great!

    They say they have 247 reception, but they don’t. If you arrive late, they want to keep your passport as a deposit withput informong anything beforehand. They don’t take cash even if you would pay the whole stay. Extremely bad experience to try to find another place in the middle of the night. Can not recommend this place.

  • 1/5 Andres D. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad front desk service, they can't make a single decision, we had a problem with the reservation when we arrive, we booked a 2 bed private bedroom and they gave us a 1 bed, they told us they would change the room the second night and they didn't, we booked a third night with a 2 bed private room and they put us in a share room, so we asked for our money back (after 45 minutes of trying to get it) so we could go and find another hotel. There are a lot of hostel/hotel in Saigon to go look around.

    Quiet, peaceful and clean hostel. Convenient for travelers who aim sleeping and resting at night. Customers and stuff are respectful. Tidy rooms, comfy bunkbeds with curtains althought not much room for luggage. Small storage units by the bed but not large ones to store backpacks or suitcases. Hot shower works well and toilet is clean with shower gel in showers. Convenient location, close to main attractions and 10’ walk from Benh market.

    This place is very clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are also very good. But I don't give a 5 stars for the next reasons: The perfume in the air is too strong and after one hour you have headache for how much strong is it. It 's like citrus essence oil. Please don't exagerate with it. Second, at our arrival the receptionist asks for a deposit that wasn't Written in our booking price information. This is not correct. I should know before what I will pay. We were in the last Day of our trip and we had to take more money just for the deposit. Nobody asks in Vietnam and if asked it's usually written in The Booking confirmation. Too may rules on this hostel and everything has a fine if you don't respect it. Seems an attempt to gain money for everything also if you puke you get a fine. Come on. Could happen to be sick.

    We stood there for 3 nights. It was okay, because we were out of the room the whole day. We had the double room it was quite small. If you need any additional service they charge you. Also if you want to extend your stay, they charge you the same price as the online booking platforms. Wifi is pretty good and they have a public kitchen, which is both nice. The also provide some tours and staff but we didn't book it. The hostel is in a good location. Close to the backpacker area and bus station.
