Located at a alley off Pham Gau Lao so close to everything but quiet enough to sleep. Lots of stairs to climb - up to 6th floor. No windows but OK with air-con. May need to allow extra time to check out if you need to get on the road early in the morning as the elderly lady does not speak much... more Located at a alley off Pham Gau Lao so close to everything but quiet enough to sleep.

In conclusion My My Arthouse is a convenient place to stay with OK price.close

This place would have been fine if the room we got given wasn't 6 flights of stairs up, stank of cigarettes, had a fan that creaked so loudly that it disturbed our sleep and ceilings that werén't so low that my 5ft 8 friend could not stand up without having to constantly crouch down with her...

This is by far the best hostel I have stayed at in Saigon, the hosts are all so polite and willing and able to help with any questions or bookings you might want to make, hostel is in a great location and easy to find when you come back from drinking one to many tigers.

The host of the Hostel, Hahn, is also a very good cook!, and even though that there is no menucard, she coocked a great and CHEAP meal for us nearly every day. / we just asked her. The Hostel is a mixture between elders and youngers, and for us, two young blokes (20 & 21), this is absolutely the best hostel so far in our 6 month of traveling. Jens & Jeppe DKclose
