Great social hostel while at the same time chill. The bathrooms were really clean and the rooms too. The location is amazing, right next to the old town. I through I had to change room when I extended my stay.

My friends and I had a fantastic time at the hostel. The room was clean, the facilities were great and the staff were so helpful - especially when it came to helping us book tours. If you like going out, the pub crawls are great value for money and so much fun! Matthias hosted our pub crawl and really brought the energy to the whole group. He made sure everyone felt included and gave me a great birthday. Highly recommend this hostel to anyone in Hoi An :)
