Summary of traveller reviews

The Joy Hostel in Ho Chi Minh offers a central location and friendly, helpful staff. While rooms can be small, it's a good value for a place to sleep. Some guests noted a peculiar smell from the AC unit.

Overall it was okay. We stayed in the 4 bed female dorm which was the tiniest room I’ve ever seen, however for the amount you’re paying it’s to be expected.

The reception was nice and helpful. Decent English , and the rest we were able to figure out using google translate. I think it’s worth the money, or for a night stay if you need the sleep.
