Reviews of Lily Hostel

Central location, perfectly adequate no-frills room.

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

Host is friendly and helpful. Thanks

Great location for a vacation. 100m to walking streets. Perfect for 🥳 Partyyyy. But a bit noisy for family with Kids

It was a great location and the aircon was fabulous. Great secluded space for ourselves. It was easy walking distance to everything, we even walked ourselves to Tan Dinh. Lily was very helpful and helped us check in even late at night, helped us plan our way to the airport too. Thank you so much!

The sink dripped from below but it didn’t bother us that much just gave us a fright a few times. The water pressure was weak and we heard music from the street but still fell asleep with no problems

Breakfast was simple yet good. The room was honestly good, just that the location was not really ideal because it was a party street. We weren't aware it was.

The bathroom was small, which was like a trigger for claustrophobia. Overall, the room was nice and clean. It was still a good room for the amount we paid for.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Bed was not so comfy.

The room was nice, and although we had read in many comments that it was noisy because of its location, our room was not noisy at all and we could sleep very well! Breakfast is included and Lily cooks it for you in the morning!

The bathroom/shower was mouldy, should be renewed. Not much social atmosphere

Good breakfast. Reception woman was kind and helping.

Not suitable for family stay. The place is right in the middle of night life walking street

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.

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. 🥵

Lily was friendly and so helpful. Would definitely recommend. 💕

Great host!!!! Very good location, not too noisy at night. Nice breakfast. We enjoyed everything

Lin! She was easily the best part of our stay. If we were leaving a review based purely on our host it would be a ten. Easily the nicest we have had on our travels so far. Thank you Lin. The location is really central and lots to see and do in the area. The tours they provide are really good too.

Whilst the location is one of the major positives, it is also a slight drawback, as it can be very noisy. Depending on which room you are in the noise level varies. Lin very kindly suggested we change room after our first night - again she was the best! The bed in our second room was not as comfortable though and also the room a bit tired / damp. But thats if we are nitpicking.

Fantastic location, and price + The host is lovely.

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.

Great friendly little hostel. Clean and comfortable. Great value for money.

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 lady on reception was lovely. We chatted numerous times and she gave recommendations for places to eat and places to go. The hostel was clean, with a nice aesthetic. The air con broke whilst we were there but they sorted it so quickly. Amazing customer service.

Sadly the big downside was the location. It is just behind THE party street in HCMC which we hadn't realised when booking. The clubs go on until 5am. The noise and bass meant we had disrupted sleep every night. It might be ok for a night or 2 but we'd booked for 5. In the end we checked out a day early and stayed elsewhere. It's a shame this street has taken off like this since COVID. I'm sure before this was a perfect hostel.
