Good hostel. A bit removed from the turmoil of the main strips in Pham Ngu Lao. Good seafood restaurant next door. Clean. Ensuites in dorms good. I'm not sure if there is hot water. Bfast is bread, jam and coffee. Wifi is solid. Tours to Cu Chi are overpriced though.

Exactly what it says on the tin, we paid for the cheapest bed and thats what we got. A little cramped in the 10 bed dorm but good enough for our 3 night stay in Ho Chi Minh. Free computer to use and a free breakfast (if you like cold noodles!). Friendly and helpful staff.

Probably one of the cheapest options in Saigon and in a great location next to the backpacker street in District 1 in a quiet spot. The rooms are small and there is one bathroom for 6, but the wifi in the room works better than at the reception. The breakfast you get is very easy and there isn't really a big common room to use, but there is a computer for guests and the staff is super friendly. It's definitley good value for money and very centrally located!

Chose this place PURELY because breakfast was included. However Breakfast ended up consisting of noodles in a cup or soggy mystery sandwich. WAS was not happy about that.

Exactly what it says on the tin, it is a budget hostel. You get a clean room with an ensure, perfect to sleep and leave your bags whilst you explore the city. The breakfast it good too and the staff are friendly. The one this I would say is be careful when booking a half day tour to just do the tunnels. The half day tour only includes the bus there and back, not the admission to the tunnels. However I made that mistake and enjoyed the day be the tour guide was excellent so make your own mind u

Really good place to stay if you're on a budget - clean and tidy rooms with aircon, and wifi throughout the building. Staff are great and happy to help with anything, plus a simple (but free) breakfast in the morning is always a winner!

hostel is really good for the money that u paid. i ve read reviews complaining for the breakie, I think that it was awesome that they give u something for the money that u paid. bad thing, they are really messy with the bookings, in that asian style. We get our room booked but when we arrive we were in the double room with ppl sleeping in hammocks cause they over booked and then someone booked that room and they came three times to hurry us up to change rooms. i def didnt like that

It was a decent place to stay for the price. The staff was very helpful although they were put in very difficult situations by guests :) The dorm was a little tiny for my comfort, but then again it is a "budget" hostel. The noodle/bread butter jam/green tea breakfast was really nice. It was hygienic and at walking distance to the main tourist spots.

The bathroom was definitely under par. There was an air vent pumping hot air back into the little room so taking a shower was terrible. No hot water, but not that you want hot water with the temperature the room was. The staff were nice though and a breakfast of bread and coffee/tea was provided. The location was great and it was cheap are probably the best I can say for it.

Cleanliness would be a higher rating if I hadn't seen them febreeze the sheets between guests and call them "clean." Also, beware the so-called breakfast, as it is simply a bag of bread with jam and that is all.
