Gareth
Superb!
My check-in was... \"interesting\"! I arrived in Saigon after midnight due to a late night flight, but despite sending a message to the hotel regarding this, no one seemed to be aware of my late arrival or even my reservation. The owner arrived from a a different location and she gave me a lift on her moped to another hotel. The room I was offered is outstanding, featuring very stylish interior design, space and peace! Possibly one of the best rooms I've ever stayed in and easily compensated for the confusion at my arrival. Thank you Minh for making my final night in Saigon very enjoyable!

no elevator
this is a hostel, room was big enough, inside room very smelly, wifi signal weak no elevator had to climb up stairs, not for those weak legs. not recommend for those with weak legs. staff was friendly.
Lawvin
Comfortable stay in the city
The hotel was great and staff were really nice. The room was big and clean which made for a comfortable stay. We were able to book tours through the hotel which made it very easy to do everything we wanted in the city. We didn’t notice a lot of the social aspects they advertise on their page.

The worst hostel I have stayed at. It was dirty, the sink was leaking and there was mold everywhere. The room wasn't prepared as I arrived. There was no towel, toilet paper and soap. I had to ask for it.
Also the address listed in Expedia is wrong. There is no hostel at this address. So I had to contact the support first to give me contact Information of the hostel in order to get to the right address. That's a no go!
I do not recommend staying at that place at all.

늦은시간이었지만 카운터에 상주하고 있고 서비스는 진짜 친절합니다!! 다만 새벽에 도착하시는분들은 예약하지 마세요 밤 12시까지가 체크인 마지막 시간대입니다 저는 메일도 보냈지만 서로 이해가 잘못된건지 새벽2시에 도착해 조금이라도 잠을 잘려고 체크인 가능하냐 물어봤지만 이미 방이 없다고 합니다 그래도 호스텔3으로 전화줘서 어지저찌 저렴한 가격에 이용했네요!

英語が好きだったり、他国の人とコミュニケーションしたかったら絶対オススメです。
毎日のように1階のカフェで誰かが、話してるので常に楽しく混ざれます。
スタッフの方も非常に親切です。
多少のお金払えば、洗濯もしてくれますし、ご飯も作ってくれるので長期で滞在するにもオススメです。
主要な市場からはバイクで10分以内なので、特に気になりません(1ドルぐらい)
ただ夜11時ぐらいから
