Summary of traveller reviews

Lily's Hostel in Ho Chi Minh is praised for its incredibly friendly and helpful host, Linh. Guests appreciate the clean rooms and central location, perfect for exploring the city. However, the property is situated on a very lively street, which can lead to significant noise at night, making it less ideal for light sleepers.

The owner is so nice and is super helpful, but the location is not great for sleeping. It is right next to Bui Ven walking street so it’s quite loud in the room I was in. Everything that the owner could control ie cleanliness, facilities, breakfast, even providing earplugs was really nice. If you just bring some noise cancelling headphones or earplugs it may not be that bad.

About Ho Chi Minh

🛵 Hostels in Ho Chi Minh for Backpackers & Solo Travellers: Motorbike Buzz, Street Food & Local Culture

Ho Chi Minh City in 2026? Still called Saigon by locals and chaotic in the best way. Vietnam's biggest city is motorbike traffic that defies physics, street food that costs pennies, and a hostel scene full of travelers starting or ending their Southeast Asia journey. It's loud, it's hot, it's overwhelming — and you'll love every minute of controlled chaos.

💬 Why Ho Chi Minh City?

With 40895 reviews from survivors and lovers, HCMC is Vietnam in concentrated form. It's sensory overload — motorbikes, street food smells, constant honking. Your hostel rooftop becomes the nightly decompression zone where everyone processes the madness together. It's not for everyone, but those who get it really get it.

"HCMC broke my brain then put it back together. The traffic is insane, food is incredible, and my hostel crew became family. Vietnam's chaos is addictive."
— Jake, UK
