The staff were amazing!! We really couldn’t of asked for anything more, we arrived late (early hours in the morning), and the key was left on the desk for us to let ourselves into our room. We were given the choice of which room we’d like to stay in too. Breakfast was amazing, we were even treated to extra fruit! We were helped out with booking a boat tour, and the owner even got us some dinner before we caught our night bus, as we were going to be short on time to have a shower and get food after our tour. We cannot recommend this hostel enough in Halong!

A great getaway, cheap room rates with good breakfast and coffee. - Beer here is sold at extremely cheap prices, mango smoothies are great. - The bed was very soft and comfortable, the room we stayed in was extremely clean. - Although the staff's English level is limited, they are very enthusiastic in showing me places to explore the beautiful city of Ha Long. - At the hotel, there are tours to visit Ha Long Bay for 1 day, 6 hours and 4 hours. We chose a tour to explore Ha Long Bay in 1 day and get a tour discount when you book that tour at the hotel, it was really great, we were very satisfied with that trip. - The hotel is very close to the beach, you only walk about 5 minutes to the beach. - At the hotel we booked a car for our next destination with many bus and limousine options.

Nice hostel in a great location. I booked it for the swimming pool but it was closed after 9 pm. So if you're late checking in you might consider other options. But the room, the breakfast and all other staff was quite good. The administrator helped me a lot, he was very friendly and kind.

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.

    What an amazing experience!!!! Probably the best time we had during our 10 days Vietnam trip. Everything from the logistic, the service, the food were excellent and we couldn't have asked for better. It was a bit pricey comparing to our budget but definitely worth every penny!

    The food was delicious, fresh and safe for travellers. The staff were kind, attentive and helpful. The lunch on the first day of arrival was my favourite meal - delicious 9 course set meal. All other meals were buffet style with oodles of options for all dietary/preferences and food was constantly replenished. Two nights was a perfect stay as we visited a small village on Cat Ba Island as an optional activity on the second day.

    Such a good hostel! Nice common room, staff were lovely and food / drink was really nice for the price. We booked the Ha Giang Loop through this hostel and it was AMAZING!! Sleeper bus to Ha Giang from Ha Long was included in the price. The company they use for the Ha Giang Loop is Safari Hostel and we would recommend this to anyone! The best trip we’ve had so far in SE Asia. The price for the Ha Giang Loop here is way cheaper than Jasmine, Mama’s etc and is way more enjoyable due to smaller groups.

    The staff could not have been more helpful. The food was consistently good and cheap also. Beds comfy and big locker with a good atmosphere in the common area. Honestly the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. When I’m back in Ha Long I will 100% stay here again.
