Mui Ne Xua Cafe Hostel — Hotel in Phan Thiết City

This was the first time I came to Mui Ne in May 2018. I wanted to write the this review long time ago but it was not easy escaping from the routine. As a backpacker, of course choosing a cheap hostel is my priority. I came to Mui Ne in late afternoon without any ideas where I would stay. (Actually internet could suggest me some options for a cheap hotels but finally I chose Mui Ne Xua because its online pictures looked very lovely. I called to them then someone from the other side told me that they could assign me to stay alone in one dorm because they were not busy at that time. Actually I really appreciate that offer because I'm noise sensitive sleeper.||Yes, the hostel was not so busy, and in fact it's quite quiet. I like the dorm style. It looks like a stilt house with bamboo structure. The mattress is put on the floor and it was really comfortable. They set up one mosquito net and I think it's really useful when living in tropical zone. The hostel was very clean and quiet, it's by the main road but I was not annoyed by the vehicles in the street. You only have to pay 5$ per night. You can't explain more.||Food in the restaurant was ok, i especially enjoyed the salad dish. It was the best salad I've had. Very fresh and tasty.||||The staff were very helpful, honest and enthusiastic. The male receptionist was a nice man who gave me lots of information. Some men working in the rest are very kind and helpful. I bought some cheap seafood from the local seafood Market and they helped me cook it with very small surcharge. I really appreciate that though I was happy to give them more tip for their kindness.||However, one thing I didn't enjoy was the sunrise Jeep tour. I pay 7$ for that and I had to wake up at 4:30 am for the tour. Oh my god, just because I'm not a morning person so it was really bad experience for me. I was very tired. ||I recommend you to go to the local seafood Market in the morning to buy fresh seafood, it is really cheap compared to the other places in Vietnam. You can ask the hostel staff to cook it for you and you only need to pay small extra money.||Also Thank you Mui Ne Xua because I made friends to some people around the world there, one from Korea and one from Holland.||Overall, if you are looking for a cheap hostel to stay in Mui Ne for your holiday. It's...

The receptionist was very friendly and our bungalow was awesome! We had a few stains on our mosquito nets and some mattress, but for 100k/night it was alright. ||I would recommend also grabbing a western breakfast here (90k), because you get 2 eggs, some bacon, a fresh baguette (ask for extra eggs or baguettes, they’re only 5k each), with passion fruit juice (ask for no sugar, trust me) and a proper, proper cappuccino (which costs 60k alone). ||I would rate the hostel 5/5, but I simply cannot because of the RIPOFF tour, booked via the hostel. It was 7$ per person for visiting white and red sand dunes, fishing village and fairy trail. NOT worth it. They dropped us right next to the road, some 20 minutes walk to the dunes and then demanded 150k/person for a 3 minute ride to the base of the dunes. And because we were the last ones there (literally) out of dozen others, we had to pay. Oh, and we missed the sunrise, because the driver was late for our pickup. Later we didn’t even see the fishing village. A total scam of a trip.||When we complained to the receptionist and demanded back 150k each (just for the stupid ride to the dunes), he didn’t do much. I liked him, but still he could have offered SOMETHING if we couldn’t get our money back. A free night, free breakfast, a massage? No, nothing. Two days later I complained again and he said that he couldn’t get the owner of the agency on the phone because it’s the weekend. I don’t believe it, we’re in Vietnam and in Mui Ne, where everyone knows everyone. ||Like I said, it was a nice place to stay, but this was the ONLY bad experience we had in whole three weeks traveling...
