So there was problems from the start. But nothing to make me write a review. There is no elevator. They couldn’t find my booking at 1st. The AC didn’t work and had to wait maybe 10 minutes. It’s a bit tacky and noticed a few guys just lying around on sofas. The AC isn’t very strong but there was a fan in the room too so I was trying to cool down. The power went out so I went down stairs and they said 30 minutes and someone will fix so I left. I came back and they said it was fuxed and is was the only building. Ok. 30 minutes later and the power goes out again. Not light no Internet no AC. I go down stairs and went for a walk. When I came back the guy that worked there switched the breaker and it worked again. I guess the breaker they got can’t handle all the rooms using AC. After the next time I told them I want to change hotels and a refund. I’ll be back in a minute. But the hotel across was booked full so I wasn’t going to change. But when I got back they said they asked the boss and she won’t refund. The power went out 6 times while I was in that room. They finally changed me to the building next door which didn’t lose power. But the internet went down 2 more times. When I went to use the toilet it didn’t flush. Anyways I won’t stay there again. I wouldn’t of wrote this review but when they said they can’t refund such a bad experience I knew I needed to.

normal hostel, lots of people. friendly staff. i was very worried about my bike because there were some things on it. first the administrator told me that we would put the bike inside, but then he changed his mind and said that the bike would stay outside. there are a lot of bars on the street, a lot of drunk people and also a lot of homeless people

The place was quiet and clean. The AC works fine. But the dorm is on the top floor, and they don't have the elevator. They will give a locker, but you need to deposit 150K, and you can claim it after you check out. Overall, it's 4.2/5.👍👍

Not my favourite part of town with lots of tourists but the accommodation was cheap, clean and comfortable... Easy to get a bus to Phnom Penh early in the morning and a good selection of local eating places nearby. I also liked the close proximity to a part and do some running around here as well as watch the locals go about their recreation...

In the alley behind Pham Ngu Lao Street, the room is on the 4th floor, but it seems like walking up six or seven floors. The stairs are very steep. It is extremely inconvenient to carry luggage. Each step is very high. The bedding is very clean. The bathroom is indoors, which means that six people in one room use this bathroom. If a woman takes a long time to bathe, she will have to queue up. The front desk guy, who seems to be Indian, completed the late check-in procedures before 2pm and told me to come back at 2pm to give me the room. When I checked in at night, a girl changed to me. I told her that I had checked in, but she still asked for my passport! They simply didn't hand over when they changed shifts...

The location is OK, behind the main road, that street is full of youth hostels. The room I stayed in was very cramped and damp, and there were unknown hairs on the sheets... I don't recommend staying here

The hostel is run by Indians. Just look at the sanitary conditions in India. The sheets and pillowcases have not been changed for a long time. The quilt has no quilt cover, so it is even dirtier. There are ants and flies on the bed. The toilet can only be squatted on, not sat on. It is very dirty. There are no paper towels. There is only one kind of shampoo and shower gel, and the bottle mouth is black. There is a small piece of soap. The bath towel is black, with a bunch of black spots. The balcony is as small as it can be. The balcony door cannot be opened. You can only see the roof across the glass. I stayed in four hotels in Ho Chi Minh for 7 days. This is the worst one. It can't be worse. When you come to Ho Chi Minh, you can go to the hotel first and then book it online. The pictures on the Internet are all fake and there is no way to tell them apart. You can avoid falling into the trap by seeing it in person before booking.

There are dorms and private rooms, but I chose the dorm.
The room was air-conditioned and had two fans, so it was neither too hot nor too cold.
The reception staff was kind and friendly.
There is also one toilet and shower in each dorm.
The ratio is about one bathroom for every 8 beds.
Towels are available for rent.
There are lockers where you can store your backpack.
There is an outlet near the pillow in the room, which is convenient for charging your smartphone.
Guests must take off their shoes at the entrance on the first floor.
Standing on Pham Ngu Lao Street, with your back to the park and facing Burger King, there is an entrance to an alley about 10 meters to the right.
It is difficult to find on a map app, but people can pass through. It says welcome238/283 or something like that.
It is also easily accessible to Bun Binh Street.
I recommend this hostel.

It's OK. The transportation is very convenient. Ho Chi Minh is beautiful. It's worth coming again.
