Guest Reviews
- Ingrid (7/5): - Grand, le personnel est vraiment sympa, bon rapport qualité prix, et des équipements pratiques (vélos gratuit, motos à louer, cuisine...) Les lits superposés bougent bcp
- TAICHI (8/5): 清潔なドミトリー - 1.値段が手頃で、エアコンが良く効いていました。
2.事前にオーナーの方にリクエストしましたら、きちんと、要望に答えて頂きました。 1.部屋の一部の窓が、完全にスモーキングされていなかったので、少し明るかったです。
2.エレベーターが無く、階段が少し急です。
- Charlene (4/5): Ồn - Gần Bùi Viện Phòng ồn quá, những hostel khác sẽ có người kêu không được làm ồn sau 10h, bên này cho khách tự do luôn.
Hôm mình ở có khách nói chuyện giỡn tới gần 12h luôn, cái màn quanh giường che k kín đáo, đèn tới 12h vẫn mở rất chói mắt
- Grégoire (8/5): -
- Henry (6/5): - Location is pretty good but as far as the hostel goes it’s nothing special. Does the job.
- Rachel Oliveira (9/5): -
- Malia (9/5): - Easy one night stay between bus journeys in the surrounding area. Staff were friendly.
Room was clean and comfortable. Air con good.
- Elif (9/5): -
- An (5/5): - Chổ ở vị trí thuận tiện. Nhà vệ sinh sạch sẽ Mình đã đặt chỗ giường dưới vì chân mình đau không leo giường trên được. Nhân viên ok xong lại nhường khách khác giường dưới. Noi người già nên nhường cho họ. Vậy đặt chổ cần gì thêm yêu cầu đặc biệt làm gì cho tốn thời gian

- Jongyeong (6/5): -
- Ho (6/5): -
- WEN (10/5): 不错 - 地理位置优越,在酒吧街附近 有点难找,在小巷子里面
- Hung Ky (10/5): - Sạch sẽ, yên tĩnh! Nhân viên thân thiện!
- Grégoire (10/5): -
- Serhat (3/5): Not recommended not hygienic - There is hot water available and location is good enough near the center The bad has bad bugs trace I showed them and they didn’t care about it. I couldn’t sleep whole night and itching and feeling uncomfortable
- Tarek (8/5): -
- HUYỀN (8/5): -
- Santiago (8/5): - Que a pesar de estar en pleno centro, no hay ruido Hay que subir escaleras
- Konrad (10/5): -
- Ožbejj (8/5): - Located in the centre but you don't hear anything at night. Comfortable beds. Little shelf and hangers for each bed. AC in the room, enough storage space under the beds. No towels.
- Domenico (8/5): - abbastanza silenziosa
- jakub (8/5): - Nice staff, clean bathroom, comfortable bed in dorm with light and hooks for clothing and good locker for each bed.
- RobertaC* (7/5): - Posizione molto comoda. Per quanto riguarda la stanza l'unica cosa positiva era il locker sotto al letto grande abbastanza per ospitare anche due bagagli. Bagno piccolo ma l'ho sempre trovato pulito. Nonostante i difetti (vedi sotto), nel complesso il soggiorno è andato bene. Dormitorio molto piccolo, opprimente, l'unico spazio è lo stretto corridoio tra i due letti a castello. Inoltre il mio era adiacente alla scala interna sulla quale si affacciava l'unica finestra (entrava luce anche di notte). Manca una mensola per appoggiare acqua, telefono e qualche piccolo oggetto personale.
- James Woolford (6/5): - Good location
Had shower gel and shampoo hot water.
Good enough internet
Drinks for sale down stairs Not enough showers for the amount of guest.
Neighbors have a dog that constantly barks loud day and night.
The curtains are not very private. Cheap and the velcro breaks.
- nouria (10/5): - Tout Rien
- McDonnell (8/5): Enjoyable stay in a great location - Great location Rooms were quite small
- Amadi (1/5): - Jai booker 5 nuits mais je suis resté juste 1 nuit En arrivant a l'hôtel la personne ne ma présenté l'hôtel il voulait juste que je le paye. De plus les murs étaient très sales que ça soit à la réception ou dans la chambre. Ils disent qu'il y a une bonne vue mais vous vous trouvez en face d'un mur. Il y a une caméra dans la chambre. La moquette dans les lieux communs est déchirée et les équipements sont très indésirables. Si vous voulez faire la fête c'est l'endroit mais si vous voulez vous reposer je vous déconseille

- Giulia Cristina (8/5): Consigliato - Posizione ottima. La struttura è in una via laterale, lontana dal caos e della musica della strada principale.
Letti a castello in dormitorio, spaziosi e puliti.
Presenza di aria condizionata nella camera.

Personale gentile e disponibile, organizzano tour e ti aiutano per qualsiasi necessità.

- Nguyễn (9/5): Superb -
- Fatima (9/5): Superb - super friendly staff, perfect location - right next to walking street. AC worked really well. Bathroom was spacious and clean. only negative was my room was 4 floors up and theres no lift - but not a huge issue.
- Gen (8/5): Very good -
- Duy (9/5): Superb -
- Chris (4/5): Disappointing -
- Zoe (7/5): Good for a short time stay. - Overall the Hostel was good. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. They took really good care of the facilities: Bathroom was always clean, never han an issue with anything. Felt really homey. The location was also good: The hostel was pretty hidden from the big streets but still just a 3-minute-walk from pubstreet. Uhm well, the hostel is small. Not just small, but really really small. With our backpacks we barely fit through the staircase. The rooms also were so small that there was no way you could keep your luggage anywhere but stored under the bed. The staff was friendly, although they played video games the entire time and we had to wait for them to finish until they would help us.
- Craig (8/5): Very good - Comfortable mattress and a large, under-the-bed locker. Decent air-con and de-humidifier. Helpful staff. It is surprisingly quiet, considering its proximity to the busy nightlife streets. There is only one bathroom on each level...you may need to wait quite some time to get access.
A note for anyone who is not a "heavy sleeper"...the dorm has a small balcony. This can be a good thing, but unfortunately it also results in some people going in and out to smoke at night, making little or no effort to do so quietly, and often having a sleep-disrupting conversation whilst on the balcony.
- Jaime (5/5): SEXUAL ARRESTMENT! from staff man! - Sexual harresment,from night shift staff Vietnamese, Im straight Man ,72 yrs.I went to police, police officer camel t o JOYS HOSTEL In front of de perpetretor,and the reception Manager He said" The police don't take statement against Vietnamese people from a foreigner!Tourist are second class human.They laugh!.Give wings to do it again.Managment didn't spoke about it.

- Emma (7/5): Nice stay at Joy Hostel, clean and comfy. It's listed as 'Joys Hostel' on Booking.com, but the actual name i - Location None

- Miki (10/5): Superb value for money, ac in the dorms all day! - Very solid bunk beds, with curtains for privacy, lamp, shelf and plug. Great cool temperature (AC) in the dorm all day, so sleeping was very pleasant. Located in the heart of the backpacker area.
- Tahir (5/5): Passable -
- Fiona (8/5): Very good - Location is super central. It is easy to walk to most of the sights. Bed was comfy and shared bathroom was clean. Staircase is pretty narrow and steep. Was not a problem for us but might worth a mention.
- Jaime (9/5): Happy New Year! - Ubicacion,limpieza! Dorm it's a dorm..
- Kevin (8/5): Very good - Very good location in centre.
- Otis (6/5): Pleasant -
- Elaxus (1/5): Bad -
- Yasir (9/5): Superb -
- Trieu (4/5): Disappointing - Good location,quiet, comfortable bed So tiny room with 4 beds, no window, dirty under the bed where to keep backpacks and personal stuff. Not easy to find hostel, can't use kitchen.
- Shyan (8/5): Very good -
- Marconi (9/5): I definitely will be back - The staff, very nice. N/a
- Rory (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was really friendly. The bathrooms were clean. The beds were comfortable.
- Georgia (7/5): Good - The staff are very welcoming and friendly, the location is great but also very quiet at night time. There was no lift, and also the lights from the hallway were kept on which meant our room was light for the entirety of our stay which made it a little difficult to get to sleep.
- Manthan (4/5): not good property - not like this property very congested property receptionist not good misguide us and take over money from me
- Maiko (7/5): Good - Quiet accommodation It was too cold for tiny Asian like me.

- Hạnh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aarthi (9/5): Superb -
- Jaromir (7/5): Good -
- Thg011093 (8/5): Very good -
- Kim (6/5): Checked out of property early but the staff were helpful - Lady at reception was very friendly and helpful we spoke through google translate. Bed was comfortable. WiFi provided. Handy space to stay in for a night or two. Property was okay to stay at, however as a solo female traveller I felt unsafe as some of the security measures were very poor.
Location of hostel was in an alleyway which I found hard to find - there is one small barely flashing sign outside and I had to ask a local person for help. Located around the corner from Bui Vien walking street and the outside street to the hostel was very crazy at nighttime which I personally didn’t feel safe being near.
I was provided a small lock to use on the locker space under bunks for storing my belongings but felt it was not durable enough and did not feel my belongings would be safe there (especially after reading some of the google reviews about money being taken from them).
Also I was not given a key to lock the room after leaving - the staff kindly offered that I could hold onto the one room key she held at the reception and I could return it to her after use. This was kind to offer however I felt this could become challenging if there were other guests in the room.
- Adrian (10/5): Very clean, highly undervalued - Very clean, including the bathroom
Good location near bui vien
They have shower gel and shampoo, which most hostels don’t You need to pay 15k for towel
- Shakil (10/5): Exceptional - I was fantastic
- Tuyết (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jenya (7/5): Good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Walker (8/5): Very good - ... ...
- Orkhan (8/5): Very good - Thank for help the personal of the hotel
- Senia (10/5): PERFECT - The location was fantastic. The beds were clean and comfortable and so was the bathroom.
The girls in the reception were also very kind. Super happy to had stayed in this place.
- Shane (6/5): Pleasant - Excellent location, friendly staff, beds were pretty comfortable , good air conditioning The curtains on the beds are basically see through, not much privacy, the locks for the bag storage are for decoration as all the keys work on all of the locks which defeats the purpose of having a secure storage.
There's only 1 toilet per floor which gets a bit crowded
Also unfortunately the staff also didn't notice a companion of a fellow roommate sneaking into the dorm In the middle of the night. They made quite a bit of noise doing "you know what" together and it took 3 fellow roommates including myself to get them to stop until the unwanted roommate finally left the hostel.
- Sarah (7/5): Good for one night - Close in centre. Private curtains nice bed. Good for one night. Helpful staff Has to wait a while for the bathroom. One bathroom for like a 12 bed dorm. I checked every level and all full. Not social for solo travellers
- Mizanur (10/5): Exceptional - Cleanliness I didn’t get towel
- Nguyen (8/5): Very good -
- Dopeboy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Callum (9/5): Nice hostel, quietly tucked away in a great location. - Great location, right in the heart of the city but not noisy at all.
Ho Chi Min was extremely hot but the dorm room was very cool and pleasant temperature.
Nice beds, good curtains for privacy.
Nice staff members. Hostel wasn’t particularly social.
Just 1 bathroom on each each floor so often had to wait for a shower.
- Nova (1/5): Don’t visit!! BEDBUGS ALL OVER THE PLACE!! - I stayed for two nights and my second night I saw a bedbug crawling on my pillow… I sat up and saw one more in my bed then I went to investigate. My bed and every bed in the dorm had bedbugs. The receptionist did not refund me or help me in any way when I confronted her and she did not tell the people in the room there where bedbugs there and let them sleep with the bed bugs. My worst nightmare and now I have to trow al of my things away.
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
