They were extremely accommodating and allowed me to check in early at like 11am. I got to hotel super early and I didn’t wanna wait. So this was a big plus. The sevice was exceptional as well. They also served some special tours around the city. On top of that, I love the noodle soup as a breakfast that was included, it was so tasty. Would definitely send a friend there.

Modern design, clean, amazing owner Thuy, very welcoming! I stayed around Tet and Thuy gifted everyone staying there a few small tokens and this really great yogurt granola snack. I thought that was so thoughtful! Just to note: The side street that the hostel in on doesn’t show up on google maps, but there is a narrow street that runs right in front of the hostel. Any way, loved this place and I would stay again!

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.
