    The rooms were kept clean, the bathrooms were clean and functional, and the place had a water purifier to reduce plastic waste. The only complaint is that when I would sit on the first floor many people smoke right in the cafe/lobby. There are cheaper places, but if you want a nicer experience, it may be worth it.

    Because it is located next to a market, it can be loud in the mornings, around 5:30 am. This isn't the hostel's fault, simply a note. The bathrooms outside of the bedroom (on each floor) could have more attention.

    Great staff–so friendly and helpful. The location is very good, near the tourist center. It is affordable. The common area is like a cafe. Good internet. Storage lockers are conveniently located in the room, with an area for shoe storage also. A fridge to store your food. Beer for sale.

    Okay for a one-night stay

    The bathroom in the female dorm was dirty, and I encountered a large cockroach. The shower hose was broken, adding to the inconvenience. The bed curtains in the female dorm were too short, allowing light to filter in whenever other guests left the lights on. The hostel lacks soundproofing, so all indoor and outdoor noises are easily heard. A large market in front of the hostel generates a lot of noise, making it unsuitable for light sleepers—something you might have noticed when checking the location beforehand. Additionally, there is no elevator, and the narrow stairs make it challenging to navigate with large suitcases.

    Considering the low price, you can't expect much. However, for a one-night stay, it was a good experience, though I wouldn't stay longer. The female dorm was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when I arrived at midnight due to a delayed flight. They thoughtfully asked if I preferred a lower or upper bunk. The location was excellent, conveniently close to the main bus station with direct bus access to the airport. The WiFi connection was excellent.

    I booked a 6 bed room but got an 8 bed one. The room was still nice, but quite noisy - too close to the bar street and the thin windows don't prevent any noise at all. I heard the beats from the disco at night. I was in a female dorm and in the morning found out, that some man was sleeping there - he came late at night, apparently he knew some vietnamese lady in my room, who opened the door for him. This should never happen. The same lady was also hiding the remotes from the AC, staff did nothing about that. Not too social for travellers, many vietnamese staying there, probably because of the price. Generally I felt strange there, and next time I invested more money to stay in a different place.

    Friendly staff, good location, clean room, nice café downstairs. If you are on strict budget, it could be an option.

    the place looks like it’s been open for 2 years, not 2 months. when I arrived I was put in a room on the first floor that looked very worn, the bathroom was gross and a guy in my room was very sick with a cough (so of course I got sick too). bring earplugs because the music from the bar street can be heard until around 4am

    nice staff, fast internet, close to lots of cafes, I asked to move to a different room after being put in a room with only men and the front desk person was super accommodating. the rooms upstairs are in much better condition and cleaner than the rooms downstairs.

    The curtain of the upper bunk is a bit short, missing it's goal to provide full privacy. They should communicate better the no shoe policy. Although they provide free candles some guests step into the room with their shoes. It gets dirty when they go further onto the wet floor of the bathroom. No filtered water.

    Comfy beds with privacy curtains. Free towels. Clean spacious bathroom. Ac.

    One toilet and one bathroom for 8 people is not enough I think.

    The first floor is a cafe so I can bring some food and enjoy it with a coffee.

    Shower was good enough. It has enough light and it is decently clean. Showerhead is not mounted firmly, there is warm water and the water pressure is decent.

    Great location! Hard beds, however very comfortable, the little curtains each bed has gives you great privacy eventough you ar sleeping in a dorm. Sizable lockers, my 65L backpack fitted easily in it.

    It's hard to think of anything to improve. But maybe one idea is having water bottle refill available. But otherwise everything was great. Thanks guys!

    Good location, and very nice and quiet in the rooms. Very clean and well set up. The staff were amazing and so welcoming! Especially Veng - he went above and beyond to make sure guests were happy and comfortable. Great place.

    con: fake reviews (like with pretty much everything in Vietnam, aways read the bad review first!!) rooms to tiny for the amout of people not enough bathroom not realy clean a lot of rude costumers who dont care about other people, staff does not set/force any rules its constantly loud because of nearby club at least one bed next to window fells like birds living next to your head bed not comfortable hostel sells worst SIM provider ever (better go to Viettel-store outside tourist area!)

    pro: staff friedly though in middle of city center (dont know if that should be considered as a pro thing at all, I would reccomend to avoid district 1 and go somewhere else, if your not planing to hang out in Bui Vien everyday...) price ?! (actually I had better for half the price in VN, but yeah its in the city center so...)

I was upstairs in a bunk bed and it was really close to the ceiling I got a hit on the head that made me dizzy, I arrived late from the flight and there was no hot water, the room and shower were not clean, there was a smell of mold, in the closets and in the room itself.

    The location is good for walking the downtown area and also for the bus system. I stayed here because I was catching a bus early in the morning. So this allowed me to walk to the bus quickly in the morning. Everything seemed good, overall, at the hostel.
