Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    It has a nice atmosphere and everything needed from a hostel. There is good ventilation in the capsule and it was quiet place, which ensured a very good sleep. Great location, close to grocery stores and restaurants.

    Conveniently located on the edge of town within easy walking distance of shops. Car parks were very close (though not free). Pods were clean and comfortable (Basically a bunk bed with a plastic shell providing privacy, security and personal utilities - lights, power, radio etc). They are not sound proof so you still have the same noise issues you have in a hostel dorm. Kitchen, Toilet, Shower facilities and Wifi here were all excellent. Each guest also has a small secure locker.

    clean, excellent location, safe, no dramas. was a bit shocked to see free ear plugs on entry but you don’t need them- pod not noisey at all, way quieter than a normal hostel. so close to everything, you can walk everywhere from here. hot tip: around the corner at Saigon Kitchen you can get a delicious Pho and the best fresh juice and it’s cheap as.
