Don't know what these bad review are on about, this place was great! We met up with some friends from home and told us they were staying here so we came along too. Reception weren't the best with English but they were polite and helpful. Common area was a bit small (as all the Vietnamese style buildings are super narrow)... More

Front desk was very nice and helpful. It is pretty close to everything you need. Shops, tour operators (bus), markets, as well as walking distance from all the tourist things in downtown Saigon. Be weary of cabs in Saigon. Many many fake cabs that will rip you off, take you for "drives", use faulty meters. Read up on how to... More

This small hostel is very clean, people are very helpful and you pay a small price for what you get in the centre of Saigon City. For less than 7 dollars i got clean towels, free breakfast and wifi. Rooms are clean and the bathroom of my dorm was large and looked very new. Really enjoyed my stay here!

Great place which I basically recommended to everybody I met heading towards Saigon. Even came back to stay another night before leaving Vietnam from HCMC airport because I liked the staff so much. The rooms were clean and tidy with proper air conditioning (even the dorms - I first stayed at a private because I had some business to do).... More

Really great hostel! I had a private room, which was modern, clean and comfortable. The staff was fantastic, really friendly and helpful. And the hostel is directly in the backpacker area, in the middle of the town but in a small street so it is quiet. Highly recommended!
