Ali Hostel

Great value for money, breakfast was good for what it was, great bread + eggs. Rooftop area has a great view for late night chilling. Rooms were nice.

No aircon, but with Da Lat being a bit cooler anyway it wasn’t super necessary.

Super nette Familie, beide sprechen echt gut Englisch und helfen wo sie können. Ich war dort nur eine Nacht, leider, habe aber super geschlafen, die Betten sind sehr bequem. Der Inhaber hat mir mit dem Bus geholfen und spontan ein Ticket gebucht, fantastisch. Das Frühstück sah echt gut aus, Banh Mi mit Ei. Sonst gibt es Aufenthalts- und mehrere Sanitärräume. Liegt zentral und trotzdem ruhig in einer Seitengasse.

Durch die Family Dinner ist es abends manchmal ziemlich laut, auch weil die Familie dort wohnt und kleine Kinder hat. Ansonsten nichts.

Very comfortable

Good customer service from the receptionist. Overall, satisfied!

Location

What separates great hostels from good ones is that they don’t just provide amenities, but bring a whole vibe. Dalat Backpackers Alley is located at the end of a very peaceful street with great views from the terrace. Everywhere in the town was easily walkable from here. Grabs are also easy to find. I stayed in the 6-bed women’s dorm, with a bathroom attached. You could also shower in the common bathroom that came with city views. Room was basic but comfy, and I had a great sleep every night. We also had a balcony. The family dinner at the hostel created a great community vibe and got everyone talking. The food was made fresh in-house, had a vast variety of Vietnamese dishes, and was always presented with so much generosity. (Just make sure to let them know if you want to join.) They offer some breakfast options to order from in the mornings. And a range of beverages with happy hours. You can find free refillable water on the terrace, an essential for hostels. There were lockers in the rooms. Cleaning was done every day. They offer adventure trips every day, and also help in booking buses. The family who run the place are very warm, knowledgeable, and damn, they work hard! I'll say that again.. they were very accommodating and kind, and the two little girls were such cute hosts. This hostel was a great blend of social and peaceful for me. I liked it so much there I extended my stay. One of the best value-for-money stays I’ve ever had.
