We arrived and the hostel was under construction. We walked in and they said theyre closed for repairs. After some translating and showing them our booking, they eventually took us across the street and we stayed there without paying extra which was nice. They should have records of their booking though, and notify their customers if they are closed

Huonetta ei ollut siivottu, pölyä oli joka paikassa ja sänky epäsiisti. Epäselväksi jäi oliko edes lakanoita vaihdettu. WC ei vetänyt ilman että nosti vesisäiliön kannen pois ja painoi nappia säiliön sisältä. Eräästä tytöltä varastettiin lukitusta huoneesta läppäri ja rahaa. Henkilökunta puhuu englantia huonosti.

Read at your own risk.

My stay was quite okay. The staff where helpful, polite and welcoming. I am just bothered about the cleanliness. I mean the hostel lobby should be pleasantly clean sad to say, the footwear lockers are located at the entrance and the smell of feet emanates all over the place. The room was okay as well but the housekeeping dept can do better. The location is quite okay. It is near to most must sees in the city.

Good value for the price i paid. Very cose to the main night life of ho chi min too. Just a minute walk away from the hotel. Staff was very helpfull. There is also a rooftop at the 6th floor of this hotel that not many people know of. Other then those who are already staying at the 6th floor. Do check it out as other travellers do sometimes gather out there and have a chat and a drink or. Too.

가성비 짱

3명의 리셉션 직원을 만났는데 한명은 영어가 유창함. 주변 정보나 방청소등 도움이 많이 되는데 나머지둘은 바디랭귀지 해야함. 아침 조식이 매우 좋음. 할머니가 손수 요리해줌. 더블룸은 4층인데 층계가 가파른 편이라 캐리어 옮기기가 만만치 않음. 골목하나만 나가면 여행자거리라 놀기 좋은데 숙소안에서는 생각보다 조용해서 잘지냈음.

Good sharing female room

Easy walk to the main Street bars and sightseeings but a bit tricky to find. They have lockers on the room and a private bathroom for the 4 people we were shearing. I slept well and was clean. A bit disappointed with the breakfast but the rest was ok. I will go again

Nice place on interesting small street

Nice place, friendly staff, good breakfast. Not very easy to find in the back streets but those streets were interesting and much nicer than the main drag. 5 steps right out of the door on the left is a good food stall.

First, it's a hostel. It's relative. Location, just off the strip of the action. Breakfast daily was good. Staff are awesomely friendly and helpful. Rooms are basic but clean and safe. Common area downstairs is small but cozy. Not a party hostel but a great spot.

Don't know if they had hot water showers

If they did I couldn't figure out how to have hot water showers so it was cold showers for 2days. Had a 4 person bunk bed room. Was good as the company was good. Free breakfast had a menu which was pretty good but other than that it was a nice place close to all the action. I heard the massage places along the alley to get to the hostel were much more than just massage places :|

Excellent value hostel - free iced coffee and tea!

Excellent, very friendly and keen to please, value-for-money hostel in Ho Chi Minh City. I arrived and extended day by day as a result of the clean accommodation, excellent location in a quiet, interesting and colourful lane off the main backpacker area and the BREAKFAST: free banh mi with egg, salad and sauces, free all-day iced Vietnamese coffee and free all-day ginger tea which was liberally offered to me by the lovely female staff. Kitchen also supplied for cooking your own meals. I am already missing the coffee and tea...enjoy your 'Vietnamese Home' in Ho Chi Minh City! Thanks, everyone at Saigon Backpackers Hostel!
