First of all we enjoyed our stay with you very much. The room was nice and clean, thanks. You should try to fix the air con that is leaking all the time when turned on (water dropping). You should also get rid of the mould in the bathroom. Additionally maybe try to create a more welcoming and comfortable common area (better athmosphere).

Great location, great basic hostel. Clean dorm, WiFi throughout. Helpful staff. Not much to be said for atmosphere since there is no common area, there are however plenty of bars and restaurants on your doorstep.

The location was good, but the rooms were small and there was only slow internet downstairs and the tv didnt work.

The girl running the hostel was super helpful with everything from booking tours, busses and showing us the local supermarket. Security is good and location is excellent, a couple of blocks from old saigon, close to a park with lots of locals doing karate, tai chi, zumba rock , dance classes and if you walk a couple of blocks in most directions to outside of the backpacker district there is real character, fantastic and cheap food and an authentic city to discover! Thanks very much!

A great hostel, staff were excellent and very helpful. Only downside is there was no hot water, but the nights were warm anyway so the showers were refreshing! Excellent value for money. Great location.

This hostel was in a great location with a 'homely' feel. The beds were quite good with air con and the staff were very helpful with directions and giving advice. We felt as though the hostel was not very clean and there was only one bathroom for about 20 people. There was no hot water and the internet was very slow.

Family run hostel with only one English speaking person who seemed to be around most of the time. Payment and receipts were dealt with professionally. Excelent wifi connection, better than in many other hostels I've been to in Vietnam. Good value for money. What bothered me though was that the doors close at 24.00 so if you want to go smoking after that you have to waike up the boy sleeping in the lobby to open the door. He never complained, but I still felt bad about it.

Nice hostel in the "backpackers area". The staff is friendly and the dorm was ok, good value for money (AC in the dorm). There's only one bathroom upstairs where the dorm is which can be a bit annoying. We booked two tours through the hostel and they were really cheap compared to others (but also very touristy).

This hostel was brilliant!! We had come from India and it was like luxury! Friendly greetings, nothing was too much trouble and it was near everything we wanted! The staff were exceptional in everything. Soo helpful!! If your staying in Ho Chi Minh then HIGHLY reccommend checking this place out! We left for four days and when we returned to the city we stayed there again! 10/10

Everything was great apart from the bathroom. The shower was just a trickle and hard to turn off resulting in a dripping noise all night and day. the location and staff were excellent. The trips were more expensive than on the street but I put this down to commission...gotta earn something right? Would stay here again if they sorted the bathroom out. the beds were really comfy too.
