We loved our stay at Saigon Authentic Hostel. We stayed in the family room that was spacious, comfortable and quiet at night, with a good bathroom. The staff were super helpful and the walking neighbourhood street food tour was excellent not just for the food but also for getting an introduction to the area. Would definitely recommend you book here
