This was definitely my best experience in a hostel after many years traveling! Absolutely everything here was thought out with great care and attention, the rooms are spacious and super comfortable, the bathroom super clean and new. The wifi works really well on all floors, there is free hot and filtered water, and the terrace is very pleasant. The attention is wonderful, I was more than helped with everything I needed help, and that was a lot of favors! They go to great lengths to make you feel at home. Breakfast is another show in itself, local, homemade and vegan food, prepared super early every day. I recommend it here with your eyes closed, so that your experience in Ho Chi Min is incredible, don't hesitate to stay here.

It was the best out of the three hostels I have stayed in Vietnam. It was more like a home that is far away from home. They don't have a elevator, which is good & better for our health in my opinion.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's no 5 star hotel but offers fantastic value for your money. Comparable to decent budget hotel at hostel prices. Great location. Staff are kind and friendly and breakfast is decent even if it lacks variety. No elevator but luggage can be lifted via motorized cable. Rooftop patio is an interesting space but would be better if there were an electrical outlet, a vending machine or something, as it is now its hard to justify the trip up so many stairs. Highly recommend for a budget conscious tourist!
