- Avg. price/night: VND 1,154,4857.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 824 reviewsGreat location in center, bus stop for leaving across street.The 12 bed mixed dorm is cubicles, which I like for privacy but you don't talk to the other travellers in your room as you don't even see them. A/C on at night was comfortable.Kitchen had enough for basic cooking but wouldn't want to be here when hostel was full as it might not be enough.

No safe in room, instead they have a large storage room with personal safes. Good cable, fairly decent wifi. Most staff really helpful and welcoming. Beach towels for a deposit.

TaylorYoung couple - Avg. price/night: VND 3,452,9758.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,554 reviewsGreat location, a lot of stores and restaurants close by. You can eat inside, go to food courts exactly across the street or try any of the restaurants. Great beach experience, even when there were huge waves 100 meters both directions from our hotel, we could always go for a swim on our beach - seems like the waves somehow subside in that place. We had nice mini-kitchen in the room and it helped us safe on our breakfasts a lot.

Lots of food options and convenience stores nearby. Many nice spots to hang out around the hostel, and an awesome rooftop terrace were they serve breakfast and you can hang out. Nice vibe at the place, and I met a bunch of cool people here, both backpackers and mexicans on vacation. The owner was super cool and let me store my SUP board for a small fee. Muchas gracias por todo!SoheilSolo traveller

Markets, restaurants and basics near by. Bus stop is close and cheap, if you don't mind the 25 or so bus ride to old vallarta. Really great, thanks!
