- meriam (8/5): - location! some of the hotel staff were not approachable but the guy who entertained us when we checked-in was professional and understanding.

- Romane (8/5): - Très bon séjour
- KISHAN (10/5): -
- Hannes (4/5): - Good location, nice food and friendly staff! Not the cleanset hostel. I needed to exchange my bed sheets as there were super dirty. The bathrooms were also quite nasty and the worse part was the dusty fans and moldy walls which made as caught for the whole stay...
- AMANDINE (9/5): - Les lits étaient top, le personnel très gentil. Un petit dej sympa. Les douches sont un peu petites et vétuste. Puis pas en grand nombre au vu du nombre de dortoirs
- Raj Ranjan (10/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Für den Preis oke, ich würde aber nicht nochmal dort bleiben - Lage ist super! Das Bettlaken war nicht wirklich sauber. Es gab keine Harken im Raum um Handtücher aufzuhängen.
- Bridgette (7/5): All in all it was pretty good to stay for a couple of nights. I don’t think I could’ve done more than 3 though - Excellent location, close to everything
Staff are friendly
Free breakfast
Bed was pretty comfortable Top bunk was too high, hard to access
There were not enough bathrooms for the amount of people
A lot of people in the room meant it was very loud and hard to sleep
- Ding (4/5): - Die Lage war sehr nah an Innenstadt, man könnte zum Fuß überall hin. Billiger Preis für die Lage. Das Bad war leider sehr veraltet und meistens verschmutzt. Decke ist auch total verschimmelt. Die Person mit der ich zusammen in einem Dorm geschlafen hat meinte dass sie zwei Kakerlaken im Bett gefunden hat
- Ahmad Ameenkar III (7/5): Good for an overnight stay near Ben Thanh. Accessible to District 1 - Quick overnight stay at Vy Da Central Market Hostel in Ho Chi Minh. Super convenient location near Ben Thanh Market, comfy bunk beds, plus really friendly staff. Perfect for travelers looking for a budget-friendly and chill place to stay in District 1. The walkway leading to my room is unkempt. Toilets might be a challenge in number if the hostel is fully booked with guests.
- Steve (9/5): Exceptional 👌 - Everything such a cool place and close to absolutely everything Nothing to do with the hostel but the Idiots, the fools that think they can control the narrative when they arrive at 2am talking with their friends.
Clearly this is the immaturity and lack of respect that comes with 22 - 26 year old idiots.
I recommend the hostel put up signs highlighting that after 23:30 you keep quiet and respect those that are sleeping likewise at 4am.
- Jannik (9/5): -
- Adrian Constantin (8/5): Overall a good stay - - location
- staff
- nice building inside - there is no option to hang the wet towel or the sweaty clothes, to get them dry, which is very inconvenient
- most of bathrooms didn’t have toilet paper
- the mattress is way too soft, I’m a light person and I was going inside of it
- although no shoes are allowed in the room, the floor was always dirty with dust and sand
- mari.decri (8/5): -
- Yati (9/5): Can consider by solo traveller ! Safe - Location , cleanliness and staff I give 5star !!! Top level for private room and only staircase. And only accept cash . I overlooked this.
- Thomas (9/5): Ich würde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. 👌 - Sehr gute Lage und auch das Zimmer war gemütlich. Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und lecker. Das Zimmer wurde jeden Morgen gereinigt. Ich war mit 4-5 jungen Frauen auf Zimmer und dieses waren einfach nur respektlos. Mir tat die Mitarbeiterin jeden Morgen leid, weil das Zimmer durch diese Personen so verunreinigt wurde.
- zijian (2/5): - 位置 卫生
- Shafeena (9/5): -
- Eden (8/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): - Breakfast included, central location and good value for money. The dorm beds are comfy. Lamp was broken in my bed but other than that no complaints
- prashanth kumar (9/5): Backpackers den in HCMC - I liked the ambiance and utilities of free space, gave more idea how to utilises things.
had a comfortable sleep the first night in a new city is rare. it was possible here.
It was in our budget and everything went smooth. They clean it daily.
The person in the reception was too friendly and understood what we like and gave good options for breakfast. The locker in our bed was slightly difficult to use.
that to resolved within minutes once we complained.
- Thomas (10/5): - La famille est très accueillante, c’est propre et calme. Je recommande

- Ashwini (10/5): Good choice for a hostel stay - Loved everything about the place. The rooms are neat, there's a big storage space for each bed and the bed itself is super comfortable. There are curtains so you still have your privacy and your personal light and charging points. AC was always on so it was heaven to settle in after a hot day. Washrooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast was included in the price and was totally worth it. The people there are super nice, they'll help you with any queries you have. The hostel is right opposite the Ben Thanh market and the gate to the metro station. Most of the main places are just a walk away. NA
- Emily (7/5): - The location is incredible and the staff is So kind.
- Alejandro (1/5): WORST accomodation in 8 months in Asia - Try to avoid this place. After 8 months in Asia, it was the WORST accomodation we've been to by far.
Our international flight got delayed for many hours, so we arrived around midnight, super tired and with very little cash, just enough to eat half a meal each between the two of us.
They asked for a deposit for a towel and room key, so we gave them the 200000 dong deposit. Then it turned out it was not enough, although it was a single reservation as we were two they wanted 400000 dong, or two passports.
We only had enough money to pay 200k as the rest of the money we really NEEDED it to eat, as we were almost passing out between starving and being super tired. So we gave them one passport and 200k.
This seems to be the first problem, and they did not care that we needed some money to eat and can't change money at midnight, and demanded or 400000, or two passports. No other option. This discussion took quite a long time, but we agreed to leave two passports until next morning, although we do not like to leave our legal documents.
So, we gave them a second ID.
And here, the second problem. As these ID's did not have the stamp, they did not wanted to accept them although they were legal documents. This took a LONG time as they needed to check with the owner, or manager, or whoever was, and after all, they ended up accepted it.
We arrived to the room.
First, a sign on every door. "WE ARE EXPERIENCING THEFT". Great. Would have been better to know before hand.
(Short story, they just don't care about locker security, as the lockers are useless for security)
Bathroom, on our room of the third floor. No hot water. Completely clogged toilet.
Then on the room, BROKEN AC. SUPER hot. We could barely sleep and woke up several times.
They could have rented a fan at least, for god's sake!
What a hell of a start. We did not realize as it was dark, that one of our locker's floor, was reminiscent of a dusty construction site, but full of hair too. So those backpacks got super super DIRTY and of course, full of strangers hairs too.
We came down for the breakfast. As I do not eat egg or yogurt, I asked only for the fruit and the toast with jam. They brought, only ONE banana, and two thin slices of (not toasted, just hard) bread. I asked if I could have one of the baguette like the bahn mi ones as the guest who ate egg got, but NO. No option.
Then I asked for just a glass of water, and they told me NO. After a while of seeing my probably angry face, they brought a glass. I drank one, and then they told me that only one glass of water is free.
¡Even after they have saved a few bucks by me not eating eggs or yogurt! C'mon!
Later, we met some other guest who told us they wanted to charge the paper napkins or tissues. WHAT?
Pure GREED.
I told the reception the dirty locker, and told them that if the room AC will continue broken, we needed to change rooms. As the AC got fixed luckily, we stayed on the same room.
But the locker was cleaned only after a day in a half and many requests, after I told them that I would clean it if they give me the utensils if they keep delaying it. They never offered to clean the backpacks of help with that at all.
After they "cleaned" the locker, it was just half cleaned, and half they put some cardboard on the locker floor.
Remember the theft issues they have? Well, I realized on the second they that if you just push the locker door a bit up and out, it opens even when it is locked (!!!) So, UNSAFE!
I reported this and filmed a video, and asked to send it to them.
They seem to not care.
They told me, ah, yeah yeah, thanks.
I do not blame the staff, as they seemed really under pressure, controlling that not even an extra glass of water went through the paywall as an example.
Just go another place instead of feeding the greed of...
- Raphaël (8/5): -
- lyla (10/5): - lovely clean room with comfortable bed and towels that can be changed throughout your stay. really great location, walkable distance from most of the main attractions in ho chi minh. lovely helpful staff too! definitely stay here, amazing value
- Maciej (7/5): All in all it was a good and comfortable place to stay! - Good location: all kind of shops, restaurants and eateries are close by; it’s like directly in the Town center.
Friendly and helpful staff: I booked a 10-bed room and was put in a 16-bed room on arrival. When I went to the reception to ask for explanation, the male reception employee offered me a 4-bed room instead. It was perfect!
The room was big enough, the A/C was working fine. There was hot water in the shower and WiFi good enough for watching sports. Really good breakfast prepared to order. No free drinking water. No free coffee or tea for hostel guests. No kitchen use or fridge access.

- Lina (4/5): Choquant - Le petit dej était bon mais ça serai sympa d’y inclure des boissons, les personnels est serviable et l’emplacement pratique Des toilettes salles, pas de papier toilettes régulièrement, des gens qui font du bruit et que se mettent nu dans les chambres pour une chambre mixte c’est choquant il faut créer des chambres par genre alors

- Valentina (10/5): -
- Albert (9/5): Bon allotjament i bona ubicació! - Les fotografies es corresponen amb l’espai. Nosaltres vam llogar dos llits en una habitació compartida de 8, sense finestra. Llits molt còmodes i amples. Destaquem l’esmorzar, val la pena agafar-lo. Varietat d’opcions i abundants. Si haguéssim de “criticar” quelcom, és l’espai per guardar les maletes sota de les lliteres. Hi ha alguns compartiments que no s’obren del tot, perquè xoquen amb l’escala de la llitera.
- Mohamed Irfaan (3/5): -
- Louan (7/5): Bien pour quelques jours - L'emplacement idéal au cœur de la ville et à proximité à pied de plusieurs activités à faire ici!!! Également, le Ben Thanh Market à 10mns à pied, c'était parfait!! Lit confortable et possibilité de manger réserver des excursions sur place pour des prix raisonnables. Il n'y a pas de vie d'hostel et les espaces communs sont très petits, il est donc difficile de rencontrer du monde ici
- Angelika (7/5): For the price a hostel you can stay a couple of days at - Really great location and the price is unbeatable. The shower in my room had no pressure at all, it took so long to be showered since only a few drops came out. And it had a lot of mold.
The mattress is really hard as well, so it’s not the most comfortable place but for a couple of days ok.
- Eulogio (10/5): Bueno Bonito Barato. - La atención del personal es lo mejor, siempre dispuestos ayudar, me ofrecieron los tours a mejor precio que en otras partes, me ayudaron a la compra de mi billete a Da Nan. La señora de la limpieza siempre mantenía todo muy limpio. Las camas son amplias que caben dos personas, la almohada super rica, me quede en la habitación compartida de 16 camas y todo fue magnífico con mis vecinos. El desayuno magnífico. Este hostal esta ubicado prácticamente en el centro de todo los sitios turísticos y al lado del mercado. Me volveré a quedar alli. El aire acondicionado funciono divino excelente. Saludos especiales al recepcionista DAT muy atento a todo y al amor de mi vida, ina chica guapísima de la cafetería. Gracias chicos me la pase estupendo. Un saludo. Todo magnífico

Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
- Ernesto (8/5): -
- nightwolf34006 (10/5): Great stay - I liked everything about here, there is a restaurant in the enterence with delicious foods, the staff is amazing and helpful, beds and pillows are very comfortable and location is close to everything by walk. Just the waitress girl in restaurant who wears glasses is a bit moody, and not interested in working or she was behaving like this to me. i dont know if she is counted hostel employee or not but i didn't have good energy with her.
- Erwin Ebi (4/5): - Sesuai Harga,Dekat dengan Restoran Halal.

- Yusuf (10/5): Great stay. - Location, staff and breakfast N/A
- Vermeulen (9/5): - De privékamer was ruim en had alles wat je nodig hebt. De locatie van het hostel was zeer goed en het personeel is vriendelijk. Ook de 2 tours die ik boekte via hen waren leuk. Het was ook handig dat er een restaurantje is aan het hostel. Het was jammer dat water bijvullen geld kostte.

- David (9/5): -
- Isis (6/5): - De locatie was top, het lag uiteindelijk meer in het centrum dan we hadden verwacht. Personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam, ontbijt was gratis. De kluisjes zijn verschrikkelijk, de deuren werken moeilijk en je spullen worden enorm vies. Liepen ook allemaal beestjes tussen. De badkamers waren prima, alleen deel je deze met heel veel mensen en het wc papier was continu op. Verder zit er overal best veel schimmel. Het plafond is in veel delen van een soort hard karton/hout gemaakt, en op meerdere plekken kwamen deze platen los. Er zat redelijk veel schimmel, zelf boven mijn bed
- Laura (9/5): -
- Oliver (7/5): Good hostel in an excellent location - Great location, right in the centre
Friendly staff
Very large beds in the rooms, and bathrooms are clean
Breakfast is included but it is very basic A larger social space would be nice, there isn’t really anywhere to socialise besides the cafe area in reception which is also open to the public.
It doesn’t give a particularly homey/comfy vibe if that is what you are looking for, but that is a very minor complaint!
- 현죽 (8/5): -
- María Paula (8/5): -
- Karl-Friedrich (8/5): -
- Katy (7/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix et personnel agréable - Lits confortables et propres, service de lessive et excursion pratique et très abordable, personnel très aimable et à disposition, eau chaude dans la salle de bain du dortoir, grands casiers sécurisés pour ranger ses affaires
Idéal pour un court séjour et en plein centre Pas de chance : intoxication alimentaire pour l'un de nous avec le premier petit déjeuner (saucisse/oeuf), mais aucun soucis les autres jours où nous avons choisi les tartines
Porte-serviette cassé dans la salle de bain
- Izabela (5/5): - Would’ve been a nice place to stay, but there is no AC in the dorm room. The showers/toilets have no ventilation either, so it’s not a great place to stay when the weather is hot.
- Luana (10/5): -
- Viivi (10/5): -
- CAMILO ANDRES (9/5): Excelente!! - El personal es realmente amable, esta bien ubicado, las camas son comodas, los casilleros igual, buen aire acondicionado
- Geoffrey (10/5): - Très bon petit déjeuner, les dortoirs sont bien climatisés, nous sommes partis avec un bus de nuit et nous avons pu laisser nos sacs à l'hôtel la dernière journée et prendre une douche avant de prendre notre bus, c'était parfait. Rien
- Lex (5/5): Top locatie, vreselijke geur - Locatie was perfect! Tegenover zit het welbekende Ben Thanh Markt en veel leuke restaurants en kroegen zijn in de omgeving aanwezig. In onze kamer (Attic) was een ontzettende rioollucht aanwezig. Deze was niet te houden, de gehele dag en nacht.
- Lauren (9/5): - Only had one night here but it was a good stopover. Rooms were clean and beds were spacious. The restaurant downstairs has a delicious menu with vegetarian options!
- Ortega (10/5): -
- Bhavisha (6/5): Okayish - I like the location and interior. The property was clean. The staff was not that friendly or greeting. We reached at night and the night staff was not great. No smile or no talk. Whatever we asked she was saying No. However the day / morning staff was very nice. we reached late night and was doing check out early in evening and we were skipping breakfast which was with package so morning staff gave us free breakfast since we were awake all night.
Also, the hostel is of 4 storeys, i dont think a lift is needed, since its a hostel and backpackers come but if someone comes with a trolley, an area at the staircase should have been there to carry luggage.
- P Ceregato (8/5): - Cama confortável, funcionários simpáticos, boa localização, não faz barulho durante a noite, limpeza ok, café da manhã bom. Nada específico.
- Beth (10/5): -
- Florencia Lorena (8/5): Muy bueno! - La cama muy comoda y grande para una persona
La habitacion estaba fresca y sin humedad a pesar de tener varias camas
El desayuno incluido cumple y que tenga un restaurante abajo ayuda si estas cansado y no tenes ganas de caminar. La comida muy buena.
Si bien no tiene locker para dejar la valija al hacer el check out, puedes dejar tu mochila con cosas de valor en la recepcion y ellos te lo cuidan.
El staff un 10! La falta de ascensor si te toca una habitacion muy arriba
El agua de la ducha no salia caliente, pero por suerte el dia que estuve hacia calor.
- Jasmine (6/5): Fairly average. Staff were fantastic. - Good location.
Breakfast options were good. The shower was a trickle.
Very mouldy.
Rooms very hot.
Mattress almost didn’t exist.
No social spaces.
- zhydshuie (8/5): Value for money - Value for money, location, Clean room and comfortable.
