La Hostel Saigon — Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

We had a trip to Saigon last June 28 (together with my friends) and we all decided to pick this hostel as our accomodation. ||||Awesome receptionists. They provided personalised service and went beyond by helping us on our first day with our itinerary, provided a map and walked us through our way.||The establishment itself is not too fancy but safe enough to stay at, they would hand you 2 keys, one for the room and the other is for the alley gate as they closr the gate at 9 or 10pm (i forgot)||The room is also not to fancy, you’ll have a decent bed, pillow and blanket, bath towels will also be provided. No complimentary water and no free toiletries though. ||No lift, we stayed 3 levels up from the ground floor and we had no choice but to tale the stairs (just imagine how difficult it has been for us to carry our luggages that high floor). Was really tough.||The airconditioning unit was playing up a bit, we find it hard to actually set its temp, it takes awhile to cool the place. Bathroom/comfort room is clean, you get a cold/warm shower.. but the floor tiles are too slippery to be bathroom tiles, you get a good sink, their toilet bowl wasn’t stable (it was broken), and the exhaust doesn’t seem to be working as it actually gets hot in the bathroom. ||Overall it was nice enough...

When I booked my double room I requested a room on a lower floor due to the fact I had a lot of luggage and I had noted they had no lift. When I arrived I was happy to discover I was on the first floor. The staff were so friendly and sent me a text when my room was ready for check in as I arrived early in the morning before check in time. And when we left for the airport at 2am the staff helped us sort our taxi out. The room we had was perfect, a double room with ensuite. The bed was so comfortable too. We had a fridge which I thought was an added bonus. We were also in such a good location. a 5 minute walk to all the bars and restaurants and around a 10 minute walk to Ben Thanh market so such a good spot to access everything the city has to offer. The staff are happy to help arrange grab or uber taxis for you if you dont wish to walk and then at least you have a set fare to get somewhere. Overall I will defintely stay here again should I return to HCMC and I highly recommend for a budget place to stay that is...

Here are some of the things i'd like to point out why I gave them 5 stars: ✔️Good service - the people are so nice. Thwy clean the room everyday. ✔️English speaking receptionist - this is a must here in Vietnam ✔️Towels for each guest ✔️Toiletries - they have toiletries except for soap but that's okay since we only paid 200/head/day ✔️Working bidet ✔️Hot or cold shower ✔️Fast and free wifi ✔️Good location 10 minutes walk to ben than market and 5 minutes walk to Buy Vien ✔️Cheap - like I said, 200php/head/day and their bed is thick for bunk beds ✔️Late check in accepted. We arrived at 1am ✔️Clean ✔️They do laundry service ✔️Lockers - they have lockers for your important things. You just need to bring your own lock. I suggest, if you're planning to get wasted, just leave your passport in the locker. ✔️24 hour reception service. Plus the place is secured. Upon check-in they will give you 2 keys. 1 for the door in your room and 1 for the main gate since they lock the...
