Guest Reviews

• Silas (10/5): 10/10 Recommendation - The Breakfast was super good and everyone was very nice!
• Paolo (10/5): - Me alojé en Saigon Authentic Hostel & Tours y tuve una experiencia muy buena. El hostel tiene zonas comunes muy agradables y tranquilas, perfectas para descansar sin el ambiente típico de fiesta constante. Además, cuenta con un gimnasio bastante completo y bien equipado, algo que se agradece mucho cuando estás viajando. El desayuno también fue uno de los puntos fuertes: muy rico y variado Otro aspecto a destacar es la atención del personal. Todos los trabajadores fueron muy amables, atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar con cualquier duda o recomendación. En general, el ambiente se siente muy acogedor y auténtico. Sin duda, un hostel muy recomendable si buscas comodidad y tranquilidad en Ho Chi Minh. Volveré sin duda alguna.
• Jessica (8/5): -
• kim (10/5): - J’ai passé un super moment à l’hostel, le personnel est accueillant et bienveillant envers nous Il propose de nombreuses activités et son toujours au petits soins Merci pour tout et à très bientôt
• Owain (8/5): Fantastic - Staff were friendly and super informative on Vietnam culture and history, also great with recommendations on what to do in the area.
• Harner (9/5): -
• Maëva (10/5): Très agréable - Très chouette hostel, les espaces communs sont confortables et les chambres sont très propres. Le petit déjeuner est varié et familial, facile pour rencontrer du monde
• Grzegorz (10/5): - Nice . Breakfast very nice. Clean and comfortable
• Romain (10/5): - Staff tres sympathique, toujours la pour nous aider ou répondre à nos questions! bien situé et très propre globalement. Je conseille!
• Leonard (10/5): - Hostel très sympa avec plusieurs lieux communs dont un rooftop. Le personnel est adorable et à l’écoute, plusieurs activités sont organisées dont un food tour dans le quartier. Situé dans le district 4, l’emplacement permet de découvrir un Ho chi Minh plus local et à taille humaine tout en étant à 10min maximum en grab des lieux d’intérêts du district 1 et 2 Je recommande!
• Sebastiaan (9/5): - Friendly staff. Good vibe. Great hostel overall for the price. Showers had shampoo and body wash. The bed wad a bit uncomfortable to to me.
• MAELYSSE (9/5): Superbe séjour - Petit déjeuner excellent et personnel très accueillant. J'ai eu de très bons conseils pour visiter Ho chi Minh. La terrasse au dernier étage est très agréable tout comme les autres espaces communs. Mon matelas était tassé, il faudrait peut-être le changer prochainement
• Gunnar (9/5): -
• Fabian (10/5): - Staff is really nice! People are very open minded, easy to get into conversation.
• Emma (8/5): - Friendly staff, clean dorms, comfortable beds :) the cooking class was really cool ! A real common area is missing to make the hostel more social. Also, I found the food tour very expensive for what it was :/
• Carolin (10/5): - The staff is so kind, i felt really comfortable and well taken care of. The rooms are super clean with a private bathroom.
• Curcio (10/5): Supportative and comfy - The property was really comfy, perfect for the people who looking for socialise and make tour plans, the breakfast was pretty good. Louis and all the staff were really amazing, they support me with se issues and always kind to help. Also when you arrive they explain you the activities that you can do and give you a good welcome with fruits and water that are really welcome with this heat. Also common spaces were really good. I Particularly loved it I would say the mattress was not the best, but still ok
• Gijs (9/5): -
• Gray (10/5): Minh was very helpful and kind. Had an easy stay. - Minh was very kind and helpful! Was far too complicated just to change date of booking.
• Jasmin (7/5): - Sehr nettes Personal, gutes Frühstück Alles ist sehr eng und aufgrund der Hitze kann man sich tagsüber praktisch nur im Zimmer oder nicht im Hostel aufhalten. Das Gym war sehr spärlich und nicht klimatisiert.
• JoaoFerreira_OG (8/5): - Breakfast it's very nice and also the staff .
• Philippine (10/5): -
• Gilbert Angerami (6/5): - Somente da gerente, muito simpática e solicita. Banheiro entupido, descarga quebrada, ar condicionado fraco. Reclamei, pedi para trocar de quarto, muito calor, 2 noites sem dormir.
• Ahmed (10/5): -
• Harshit (10/5): - Good hostel vibes
• Chiara (10/5): A real gem in the local District 4 - Saigon Authentic Hostel is a real gem tucked away in the local and authentic District 4. You’re just 5/10 minutes by Grab from the city centre, but with less chaos and a much more genuine vibe. The hostel itself is very quiet and clean, and the beds are really well designed, with space to hang your things and a private locker for storage. The breakfast is simple but very good. I loved staying here, especially with different areas to relax like the rooftop and the book room. I loved the neighbourhood, with local and modern cafés within walking distance and an ATM just around the corner. Definitely recommend it, great value for money!! Unfortunately there’s no elevator, but there’s a small lift system to help carry heavy suitcases if needed
• Derin (10/5): - Lovely Not ın the cıty but very nıce
• Gergely (10/5): - Nice location, rooftop chill zone, cheap
• Pauline (7/5): -
• KEE BIU (9/5): -
• Ben (10/5): -
• Jun (10/5): - The breakfast was very good. Love it.
• naneen (8/5): - It was our second visit, liked the location and the balcony. Could have been cleaner to be honest there were areas in the room that looked lie they hadn’t been cleaned for Months but otherwise all good really. Liked it more the first time around and I think we paid less per night when we were last here.
• C. (9/5): -
• Poucet (8/5): Les fêtards, allez dans le centre parmi les vôtres ! - Le personnel est très accueillant et disponible. L'endroit est propre et dispose de communs confortables dans lesquels s'installer au cas où les autres occupants de votre sont irrespectueux et regardent un film sans écouteurs à 3h du matin. Top ! 🙃 Mes camarades de chambre.
• zarrouki (10/5): Séjour très agréable - La gentillesse du personnel, l’accueil, leur disponibilité
• Aaron (9/5): - The location is good not too noisy very quiet good places to eat if you are into local food best district to stay at The staff are super nice and caring breakfast was good and the value for money was excellent would come here again
• Yuchao (10/5): - nice hostel. friendly staff. comfort bed and delicious breakfast Highly recommend
• Hanoé (9/5): - Good hostel for resting, very calm. Activities organised by the hostel to socialise. A bit far from the center, 30 min walk. Not so social.
• Witek (9/5): Super friendly, helpful staff - Wonderful service, super helpful staff; Good location in D4, walking distance to D1; Vinh Khanh good street on D4 is awesome;
• Martiniano (9/5): - El personal muy amable son todos familiares y están atentos a lo que necesites. Cuánto con casi una cocina definida y podrías comer lo que compres o te calientes con un micro. El desayuno incluido y dicen que es su punto fuerte, lamentablemente yo no lo pude probar tenía excursiones muy tempranas Las camas hacen mucho ruido y están flojas Los colchones para los estándares de Vietnam muy malos undidos en el medio. Hacen programas para compartir con los huéspedes, excelente actividad!! como cenas caseras...etc, pero para un viajero que se mueve barato a precios muy muy caros
• Charline (9/5): -
• Ella (10/5): - Great hostel in a good location. Rooms were clean, bed was comfy and staff were super helpful! Would definitely recommend.
• Florian (9/5): - Die beste Kommunikation mit dem Staff, die ich in Vietnam erlebt habe - danke euch. Gute Touren im Hostel buchbar (ich habe die Stadttour, die Essenstour und die Cu Chi Tunnel Tour gemacht), die Terrasse und das kleine Gym unten sind nett. Hostel insgesamt ruhig gelegen. Reinigung befindet sich in der Nähe des Hostels. Etwas weit weg vom Schuss, in den 1er Bezirk sind es 30-40 Minuten zu Fuß. Aber mit einem Grab ist man schnell drinnen.
• Catharina (9/5): Einfaches Hostel, aber toll für den Start in Ho Chi Minh City - Tolle Lage, relativ zentral, Louis war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, gute Infos gegeben, großes Familienzimmer mit eigenem Bad, schönes Hostel
• Murat (10/5): - Alle sind sehr nett sprechen und Englisch und sind sehr hilfsbereit. Du bekommst eine WhatsApp Nummer die du jederzeit anschreiben kannst falls was ist. Also ich fand es sehr angenehm und würde wieder hin. Die tür zum Klo war eine schiebetür die etwas schwierig zu bedienen ist :D aber nach 1-2 mal weiß man wie es funktioniert ;)
• Erin (10/5): Had a great stay! - The staff are so lovely!! They truly make the place and are happy to help you with anything you need! Free breakfast was great too.
• Victoria (10/5): Amazing vibe and good staff - The good vibe of the place and the staff and also the breakfast is good, you can choose between some option and it’s incluid Is clean and confortable My bed, the mattress wasn’t the best, but you have Curtains and privacy
• Mohamed Bakr (9/5): - Clean, nice staff and very helpful, common rooms help socialize. Nothing to add
• Nina (10/5): - The hostel staff were super welcoming - I loved the little plate of fruit and water I got when I arrived. The tours they provide are amazing and super informative. The bed was a little uncomfy but nothing I couldn't cope with for a few days.
• Carys (7/5): - Lovely family feel, staff really go out their way to make you feel at home. Excellent breakfast and good facilities, the gym is a bonus. Clean, friendly and a warm feel. Just note it’s in a more quiet residential area which is nice is you want out of the main city but requires a 30m walk or taxi into the centre.
• Niklas (10/5): -
• Cecilia Martínez (8/5): -
• Sander (10/5): - good location and really friendly staff and the tours are really nice
• David Johannes (9/5): - Venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Alt er rent og fint. Der var et bredt udvalg af ture tilgængelige til at udforske byen. Vi prøvede turene til Chu Chi Tunnellerne og Mekong Deltaet, der begge var virkelig gode. Vandtrykket i bruseren på vores værelse var meget svagt.
• Regis (8/5): -
• Vere (10/5): One of the best hostels I stayed at. - Fantastic service and super friendly people, freshly made breakfast, nice common rooms for socialising (or doing some work), lockers for valuables and curtains on the bunkbeds for privacy with a little reading lamp. Loved our stay here! It was clean and had a nice location, (about a 30 min walk to the war museum for example). They offer tours and activities for great prices and if you stay here for a bit more than a few days, getting a new towel and fresh bedlinen is no problem at all! There are quite a lot of stairs to get to the rooms or the shared rooftop area, for me this wasn't a problem, but if your fysical health is not that great this might be a slight issue. There is however a small lift for big suitcases. :)
• Rachel (10/5): - Really nice Louis is super friendly and helpful staff
• Green (10/5): Gym , staff , breakfast , clean , quite , what else can you ask for - Staff had excellent customer service ; I would stay again N/a

• Steveen (8/5): -
• Emmi (9/5): - Henkilökunta, paljon mahdollisuuksia tehdä erilaisia aktiviteetteja ja hyvä aamupala. Olisin voinut olla enemmän wc/suihkuja.
• Matthew (10/5): Cosy and comfortable - Staff were exceptionally kind and felt like a very comfortable space to be in N/A
• Meeri (10/5): - The staff is amazing and so kind. Rooms were very nice and comfortable. They organize some activities wich were so nice and you can see how the staff is exited to show and teach you about their city and country. Would've loved to stay even longer!!
• Pranav Prakash (8/5): -
• Jini (10/5): Great time staying in a local are - This hostel felt like a really good place to recharge. You will be in the middle of the local area in Ho Chi Minh City, with everything that you need around you. I would 100% choose this hostel again.
• Donna (10/5): I highly recommend! Every one is so kind and helpful. Many restaurants and cafes near by - The breakfast, the wonderful staff It was a way from where the tourist attraction are
• Green (10/5): One of the best places iv stayed at . No lie - The staff , the food , the facilities, the set up , they speak very good English and if you need anything and I mean anything they will help you Everything was great , location staff facilities was all the best
• Federico (10/5): It felt so good that I’ve extended my stay twice! - Position close to main attractions but not in the main chaos, staff kindness
• REN (10/5): - 過ごしやすくてとても良かった
• Yann Jischak (9/5): -
• Claire (9/5): - It’s a perfect sized social hostel and the staff make a big effort to organize events and tours that you can join to meet others in the hostel. It made such a difference because I was a solo traveller and met some great ppl!! I loved the Morning Walking Tour led by Uey and the Cu Chi Tunnels tour 😁 It was so cool to do a tour with a local!! The staff also were so helpful and friendly, they were really incredible. They also do a lovely breakfast in the mornings made by their aunt (I think) and it’s like eating in her kitchen 🥹
• Lily (10/5): - The staff were so hospitable and helped with everything. Would definitely come back. Great location, lots of events to choose from. Highly recommend
• Romain (10/5): Best place to start your Vietnam journey - Amazing staff and services Not the cleanest facilities in the world, but correct nonetheless
• Leïla (10/5): Si je retourne dans cette ville c‘est cet hostel que je choisirais à nouveau. Merci pour cet accueil - Le personnel est formidable, ils sont à l‘écoute, retiennent les prénoms de tous les clients. Le free tour de la ville que l‘Hostel propose est très intéressant. Je recommande cet hostel également pour la situation géographique car le district 4 est idéale pour découvrir le Saigon authentic avec ses rues étroites qui proposent à chaque coin de rue de la street Food. L’accueil chaleureux, les petites attentions dès votre arrivée qui vous mettent du baume au coeur, fruits petite bouteille d‘eau. Le petit déjeuner préparer devant vous dans la cuisine comme à la maison. Le paiement seulement en cash mais c‘est une entreprise familiale cela peut donc se comprendre.
• Léa (10/5): -
• Louis (9/5): -
• Annett (10/5): Perfekter Ort für ein paar Tage Saigon - Die Betreiber, die Lage und Aktivitäten waren top. Für ein Hostel war es auch sehr ruhig und die Betten waren super zum schlafen. Für einen kleinen Aufpreis konnten wir einen Late Check out nach unseren Wünschen buchen. Nichts

• el houssaine (10/5): - I had a great stay at this hostel. The place is very clean and well maintained, which made it comfortable to relax after a long day. The staff are extremely friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. They also organize great tours, which makes it very easy to explore the area and enjoy the best activities around
• Rebecca (8/5): - Good breakfast, a decent size room and bathroom. A little off center location but nice and quite neighborhood. Staff gets in the room really earlier to clean the trash or to sleep or play in the phone in the bed after someone checked out and making those beds then all while everyone was still trying to chance some sleep. So sleeping in was unfortunately not an option even with the nice possibility of checking out until 12:00.
• F.H.G.M. (8/5): Fijn hostel met uitzonderlijk vriendelijk personeel. - Het personeel was heel vriendelijk, attent en behulpzaam. Bovendien biedt het hostel allerlei leuke uitstapjes en activiteiten aan die zeker de moeite waard zijn om te proberen. Het hostel is inderdaad voorzien van een "gym" maar deze is minimaal uitgerust met materiaal en toestellen. Het biedt in iedeer geval wel de moeglijkehied en de ruimte om een beetje te sporten.
• Salla (10/5): -
• Theresa (10/5): - Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, besonders an der Rezeption. Kümmern sich um alles und helfen einem bei allem was man braucht. Haben auch die Tunnel Tour gemacht, dabei wurde uns sogar das das Frühstück eingepackt. Sonst alles super sauber, Handtücher, Gym, kostenloses Frühstück, Rooftop Würde definitiv wieder herkommen! :) vielen vielen Dank Nichts
• Amandine (9/5): - Chambre et salle de bain propres. Personnel disponible pour vous aider
• Tino (9/5): -
• Helio (8/5): Great tours and people needs more cleanliness in bathrooms. - Great staff and best tours!!! Breakfast has options including eggs. The actual rooms with beds were clean. Dirty common areas and bathrooms, really needs to be redone they were not good.
• Valentine (9/5): Un super hostel pour socialiser facilement dans une ambiance familiale :) - L’accueil est très chaleureux et il est facile de socialiser avec les gens :)
• Charlotte (9/5): Great familial hostel. Friendly staff! - Staff, rooms, common room, „local“ location -
• Juliana (7/5): - Localização, Café da manhã ,locker com cadeado e chave. Edredom estava com cheiro ruim, não é lavado ou trocada a capa, simplesmente dobram para o próximo hóspede. Não me permitiram fazer check in antecipado, falaram que estavam em horário de limpeza. No dia seguinte o meu quarto foi o primeiro a ser limpo e trocaram o lençol e limparam o banheiro apenas, nem varreram ou limparam o chão nem trocaram o edredom, se tivessem um pouco mais de empatia teriam conseguido adiantar meu Check-in porque a "limpeza" durou 5min. A cama rangia o tempo todo. A cortina é fina e não há black-out no quarto.
• Aeron Raphael Ibanez (10/5): Excellent hostel, friendly staff - great activities! - Excellent hostel, very friendly local staff who are happy to advise you with things to do in the local area, places to see in central HCMC. Organised good quality value for money tours and group activities. Great breakfast every morning- home cooked fresh. 10/10 would stay again in HCMC.
