Cheerful Hoi An Hostel

Was a lovely stay.

Hostel is near the old town and Hien was very helpful. She will give you tips for restaurants and activities in Hoi An 👌🏽

Staff is very helpful and responsive

It is a bit outside from the city centre

Hien the host was lovely throughout offering amazing tips about Hoi An. Hien and her staff make your experience 10/10 for everyone and value having you here. Feels like a proper family when you come here

Hien - the hostel owner, is an angel. She makes everyone feel welcome from the very first minute. She’s fun too and she made me laugh a lot. She works hard, but somehow always seem to have a lot of energy. Impressive! The hostel rooms are clean. There’s no luxury here, but you get everything you need. Free breakfast every morning, fresh baguettes with eggs and delicious pancakes. It’s a small hostel, don’t expect any parties or big crowds. But people who choose to stay here are great, everyone seemed to get along well. I stayed here for 7 days and I wish I could stay longer.

Amazing host and atmosphere

Really nice, clean and safe place

The Cheerful Hostel in Hoi is a fantastic place to stay! The hostel is impeccably clean, with cleaning done twice a day. Rooms are spacious and in excellent condition, with beautifully painted murals that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Drinks and snacks are offered at very fair prices, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. What truly sets this hostel apart, however, is Hien, likely the friendliest hostel owner in all of Vietnam! Her warm, humorous, and open-hearted personality makes you feel right at home. Hien knows Hoi An incredibly well, and her recommendations were always spot-on. She even treated the entire hostel to a home-cooked meal, adding a wonderful, personal touch to an already perfect stay. Highly recommended!

Hien is just a gorgeous host! She makes the hostel a warm and friendly place you feel home and safe. I got there during the storm and she took really good care of me. Thanks again! Location is great, old city is walkable and it takes 20min to get to the beach while you can get a bicycle in the hostel.

Hien was the most amazing host. She made me feel at home even before I arrived, making sure I knew how much I should pay from the airport so I didn’t get scammed. She was filled with recommendations which made my stay in Hoi An so much more amazing. Anything you need is not a problem and she arranges trips and tours with pleasure. She even cooked everyone in the hostel noodles one day which was a great way to meet everyone. The vibe is social, without being a party hostel and everyone there was so lovely, kind and considerate. The location is a 20 min walk to the old town and is a nice way to see some more of city. If I could give this place 11 points I would. I truly felt cared for here and miss it already!
