An Oasis in the middle of the maelstrom that is HCMC. Staff were a delight and could teach a number of top end hotels a thing or two on customer service.

Near the busy touristy strip, but down a quiet side street. No noise from outside, even the aircon was quiet. No windows but this quiet comfortable room with AC and cable TV made it the perfect place to relax after a day sight seeing.

The hostel is located in a tiny lane not easy to find the first time.It is pretty well managed and clean. Nevertheless, The room that we spent our first night in was small, with its window sealed and not well ventilated at bathroom. We asked for change and was given a better room the next day....

very clean, very nice. a hint of luxury without having to pay too much for it. not the typical hostel w/ large social common area, but more like a guesthouse. i traveled for personal business, and it suited very well for that. highly recommended overall.

This place is very well run. The staff are very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They speak excellent English too. We loved the quiet location, no street noise. Excellent breakfast included, probably best breaky we had in 4 weeks in Viet Nam. Highly recommend this hotel.

shame to have a bath in the bathroom, a shower system wil be enough. may be they could try to promote the tour adventure system, and spa massage a little bit better. excellent staff, fun, i will really recommend and coming back there. price reasonable.

The location of the hotel was really good and was just a nearby walk to all the pubs and small shops. Only thing is that it is not a 5 mins walk to the Ben Than Market but it was actually close to 15-20 mins walk. The staff there werer really helpful and very clean rooms.

Don't book any trips thru hotel - many agents close by. Staff wanted to be helpful but were not (not at all dishonest tho).
