Clean rooms and bathrooms, good breakfast options (not just toast and an egg) and friendly staff. The daily happy hour where you get as much beer as you want is also a nice benefit and good way to meet other guests. Only issue I had was that the upper bunk in my room had a gap to the wall, so a couple of my things fell through, which was frustrating. Lockers were large (BYO lock). Great location.

Good atmosphere, ok facilities

This hostel had a great atmosphere, partly helped by the free beers available for guest in the evening. The facilities were good overall, nothing special. The room was a bit small for the price. Breakfast was nice, in par with other hostels in Vietnam. While the staff was helpful and nice, I would not recommend booking trips / activities with them. They tended to overcharge for tours (such as Halong Bay for instance).

Highly accessible with friendly staff

1. Staff are super friendly! You can join different tours through this hostel, but they definitely won't force you if you choose not to ;) 2. Breakfast is complimentary! What's more you ask for if USD5 per night also includes a nice breakfast? 3. Location matters! It's highly accessible to town and from the airport, grab a Uber if you can't locate it (after all everywhere is just walkable distance)! 4. The only problem is you have to walk up and down to your room. Luckily friendly staff will assist you when necessary.

The hotel was great value for price. The only thing that came up was I went to the hotel to check in and they said since I had a private room I was in their other property, which was just a block or two down the road. It wasn't a problem or anything just a heads up. Also - there is no lift in the hotel with the private rooms. Great value overall.

OK basic backpacker hostel

Nice place to sleep in a central area with bare essentials on a budget. Bed and room very large and comfortable to stay in. The bathroom tiles could have been cleaned which was full of mould. Lockers for luggage are rather weak and fragile and needed to be fixed. Also there are no locks on the doors for the dorm room.

First time in Vietnam

I stayed here a few days.Minh , Lee tuan anh mai them were really helpful and super friendly. That's the reason I decided to come back again here from sapa. I love the happy hour , which is the evening time that you can get to know other backpackers and enjoy the free beer. It's definitely worth staying here .

Adorei!!

O hostel fica bem no meio do bairro antigo, perto de muitos cafés, restaurantes e lojinhas locais. O atendimento é ótimo, na chegada já te entregam um suco ou cerveja (se for no horário do happy das 6 as 7pm). A limpeza é boa, o café da manhã também é os atendentes super simpáticos. Recomendo!

이가격에 조식+프리맥주타임까지..! 대체로 만족해요.

대체로 만족해요! 조식 무료제공인데 음료나 식사메뉴 여러종류중에 선택 가능합니다. 여자4인실 썼는데 방도 깨끗했어요! 2층침대 위층을 썻는데, 침대 올라가는 계단이 불편해요...그냥 검은색 철제 봉이고 사다리가 땅에 닿아있거나 맨 위 침대까지 닿아있지 않고 중간에만 있어서ㅠㅠ 한번 내려오다가 미끄러졌네요.... 그외엔 프리맥주 타임도 있고, 화장실이 칫솔이나 치약, 빗 등 기본적인 어메니티가 있는거 좋았어요. 보통 다른 게스트하우스는 미리 말 하지 않으면 연박시 수건교체나 이불 정리 안해주는 곳이 많았는데, 여긴 외출하고오면 새 수건도 준비해서 침대에 올려놔주시고 이불정리도 해주셔서 좋았습니다. 항상 직원들이 1층에 있구요. 여러 투어상품도 신청 가능해요. 사파나 하롱베이 투어를 1층에서 예약하면 무료로 도미토리1박 제공한다고 하더라구요.
