Flipside Hostel o.g. HCM — Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

I've stayed at flipside for 4 nights, tho I was gone for one night because I've done their Mekong Madness Motorbike Tour which takes 2 days. The hostel itself was very nice. For my liking it was clean, the rooms were nice my bed had a curtain which I really like and under the bed were lockers for your backpack and stuff. I so didn't really notice broken things in the hostel, which some bad reviews have complained about. The hostel is a bit noisy at night, but considering the location (right at walking street) that comes as no surprise and was fine with me.||||The staff here is really cool and nice. Jack, the manager, was super friendly and helpful and one night we pre-drink all together at the rooftop bar and went out to a bar/club next to walking street together with the staff that was there. Was definitely good fun!||||I have done the "Mekong Madness" Tour that the host organizes where you drive around the Mekong in the jungle for 2 days (180km total) on scooters. It's good fun, but what I think is best is that for some tours you can easily do them yourself to save some money, but not this one. Doing the tour I felt like this is not easily doable by yourself which made it a experience that is very much sort it for me! Also our guide, Delo, was a super nice dude and I've had much fun with him spending the two days together and going out to the walking street on the day we got back. He has extensive knowledge of vietnam and his ability to speak vietnamese and communicate with the locals definitely made this trip stand out and surely makes it stand out from other guides too. If I come back to Vietnam I would do a motorbike tour organized by him just for the sake of doing the tour on the bikes together, because I can be sure it's going to be a great experience and a lot of fun!||Once again...

I must say "The Best". It was my very first time outside the Philippines 🇵🇭 , very first country to visit & very first time hostel in my life.||Rebecca & Declan were the very first two person I met managing the place when I found "Flipside" while walking on the street looking for a place to stay. I was so happy finally I found someone talking to me back in English hehe of course they're are from England. In Vietnam, my very first experience where in the locals hardly speak English. I do believe they're great people. ||Beca & Declan were very helpful. I actually asked if they can keep my passport & card. Beca introduce me to a group of solo backpackers too from different part of the world and that made my entire trip meaningful & I was very much happy meeting the group. I felt like I found good friends already for a short period of time. ||I love the rooftop pool & bar! Just perfect for the 3rd year anniversary of the hostel that happened on my second night of staying there. Happened to be one of the best nights of my life. Actually the best ever! I had my very first belly button tequila shot! from an online teacher ? 😂 I had attended several rooftop pool parties but first time experience backpacking & I wanted to do it long time ago alone! Games at the pool with 2 lovely people I met & like considering as friends already 👑☝️🥰🏊‍♀️🎉||Hope to be there again on their 4th year anniversary! Hehe I think I enjoyed too much with my stay in Flipside 😂 ||I almost cried leaving that quick. Only stayed 4 nights in Flipside. ||Many thanks! |More Power &...
