I stayed there for 3 nights in d mid of March 2024.. What I liked most was the responsiveness of the owner to help and give you sights of the things that you need, not the things that normally other travelers do.. The breakfast even enough to energize you to do activities the whole day.. The bed is wider for one person.. The WiFi connection is strong enough.. The rooms are cleaned every day.. There are 2 common rooms: the first floor and the top floor. And Ha is a really understandable person. I booked for a bed in mixed dorm, but since he saw my physical weakness, he gave me the lower bed on female dorm..

Conveniently situated in the District 1 district of Ho Chi Minh City, Northern Hostel - Bui Vien Walking Street is located 1.5 km from Takashimaya Vietnam, 1.3 km from Ben Thanh Street Food Market and 1.6 km from Tao Dan Park. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is less than 1 km from the city centre and a 12-minute walk from Fine Arts Museum.

The location is great, it is located off “Walking Street” a bar and club street in Ho Chi Minh City and 5 minutes walk from the Central Food Market. For other tourist attractions such as the War Remnants Museum or Behn Thanh Market it’s around a 15-20 minute walk but you are sure to get distracted with all the nice shops, parks, churches or stalls you will pass along the way The Hostess, Rose, provides clean drinking water, a kitchen space to use as you please, a small seating area for you to eat your food and a communal fridge for you to store your goods. There are also a nice selection of complementary goodies for you to take. We stayed in the private Double Room. The room is air conditioned and has a nice balcony. It certainly exceed my expectations for the price we paid! Great value!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    It's no 5 star hotel but offers fantastic value for your money. Comparable to decent budget hotel at hostel prices. Great location. Staff are kind and friendly and breakfast is decent even if it lacks variety. No elevator but luggage can be lifted via motorized cable. Rooftop patio is an interesting space but would be better if there were an electrical outlet, a vending machine or something, as it is now its hard to justify the trip up so many stairs. Highly recommend for a budget conscious tourist!
