This is an amazing hostel to stay and located in a central location. The staff were hospitable and good service! The hostel is clean, safe, and located right next to Bong hostel for pickup if you are doing Bong Ha Giang loop tours. The staff was also highly responsive on WhatsApp for my questions and helped to find my missing passport and kept it safe. Thank you!

I had a really nice stay! It was fairly social and Mouad, Oran, and Hamza were great hosts. Would come back again!

I ended up spending 2 weeks here, and all the staff were great, the hostel reps were fun too, encouraging everyone to go out. Specifically Kate and fiatz were great workers. The facilities are great too, with events going on all the time
