    At 4n3đ here, I feel right at home. During my stay, I have made some new friends. Thank you very much to the hotel owner and the receptionist. I will definitely return on my next visit.

    “The best!”

    The place is clean and the staff's service is very good! Whether the location is good or not depends on where you want to sightsee, but the staff can recommend nearby restaurants and attractions. One thing to note is that you are required to use shared slippers inside the building, and you have to leave your shoes on the first floor, but the shared slippers are a bit dirty. I don't mind too much, but I did think that I would rather not use the shared slippers. Overall, I recommend it, and if I visit Ho Chi Minh again, I will definitely stay here.

    “Everything about this place is perfect”

    Might be the best hostel i’ve ever been. Once you arrive you will be welcomed by the staff who will also help you with anything you need and recommend tours for you and help you plan your trip. I liked the communication and the way they managed check-ins and outs, straightforward and clear. I stayed in 10 bed dorm. The room was so big not crowded at all. It was spacious, well ventilated and even had 2 bathrooms wow. This place is a hostel with standards of a 5 star hotels. Highly recommended and will book again if i am in HCMC again. Bravo👏🏼
