    Bring earplugs! Just off the hectic & noisy main drag. Hostel itself is tranquil & calm.

    Central location, perfectly adequate no-frills room.

    Bring some ear plugs because in the evening it gets pretty noisy. Also as suite case users we struggled a bit getting them up the stairs. But it was well worth the hassle!

    Really nice room in a very buzzy area. Everything was clean and Lily was lovely! Helped us with finding some great food spots. Would stay again.

    Lily was very helpful and friendly. We did the cu chi tunnels through the hostel and it was great. We did rock up on a busy nightlife when 1st arriving and were slightly worried, but this hostel is surprisingly away from the noise and off the street.

    After travelling South East Asia for the last 6 months, this is the first 10/10 we have given! Lily is so friendly and helpful and can’t do enough for you. She gives lots of helpful advice and answers any questions you have. You can book tours to Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta through her, as well as laundry, which was done in less than a day. The location is very central and the room was great, with a very comfy bed. The breakfast was delicious and there is a big fridge full of drinks, which are cheaper than the 7-11. Although it is close to Bui Vien street and you can hear the bars at night… it was never loud enough to affect our sleep. We would 100% stay here again!

    Bed was not so comfy.

    We really liked the woman who ran the place. Very sweet, generous and helpful. She made the breakfast every day. We stayed for 3 nights spending our last days in Vietnam there. The room was small and a little barren, and the bed wasn't so comfy. It was clean. The bathroom was separated from the room with a frosted glass wall, so you didn't have privacy, really.. Location was chosen because it is central and so it was a little noisy from the party street it is directly on. That stopped at some point in the night though. HOWEVER we did choose the location ourselves, we just didn't know exactly what it was like. And since we didn't come to party it wasn't a plus in itself. It's 15 minutes from Ben Thrang market, which we didn't enjoy. It's huge with many different shops, but they all sell the same.

    Only down side was my room was right at the top (3rd floor). Did not forward to that after a day walking around the city. 🥵

    Staff (Lynn) was very helpful and friendly. It was close enough to the hussle, but far enough away the noise didn't disturb my sleep too much. Breakfast was very good... missed my English Breakfast Tea.

    There is a little bit of noise that leaks into the rooms from Bui Vien walking street, and a lot of construction nearby that starts early in the mornings. Shower was very low pressure.

    Fantastic location, and price + The host is lovely.

    It was great. Despite being near the party street is is not as loud as you would expect. We were prepared for noise and it was better than we expected.

    The downside of the location is that it's situated in the nightlife district so it's quite noisy even if the windows were noise cancelling

    Can be a little noisy at night as it’s right off a very busy walking/ party street. Seemed to quieten down after midnight though. Didn’t really bother us but just something to be aware of

    Cute little spot right in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City! The owner in reception was very lovely, even gave us a better room and provided local recommendations!

    This wasn’t a problem for us however if you’re a light sleeper then it may be a little en noisy in this area due to the clubs.

    wonderful stay at Lilys! Lily is a kind and helpful host. Her support throughout our 2 night stay was brilliant. The property was clean and felt welcoming- we didn’t want to leave! If you are coming to HCMC I cannot recommend staying here enough 🤩🤩

    They don’t have a lift, so if you are heavy with bags, better to find a place with a lift.

    It was very loud at night - and we were not there to party - but this was not a problem as we had ear plugs for sleeping at night. The host also offered us a quieter room the second night.

    It was excellent value for money. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It appears very simple - but it has everything we needed for our 2 night stay. (Including umbrellas for the crazy June downpours!)

    The shower pressure was quite weak and the glass door to the bathroom opened onto the toilet bowl, very strange design.

    Bed was comfortable, even though it's down a small alleyway off the main bar/nightclub street, it's fairly quiet. Could hear the odd bass but still managed to get to sleep. Helpful to have a desk as well. The owner was very kind and helpful, quick turnaround on our laundry and showed us good eating spots.

    Best to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper - the street outside is full of clubs blasting techno and karaoke till the early morning. The sound spill is wild!

    Cute little place - super lovely staff who helped us navigate HCMC, book onward tickets, get a SIM card etc. The room was comfy. It's in the centre of the super hectic backpacker district (down a little alleyway) - handy in some ways, a bit crazy in others.
