Tigon Dalat Hostel

The staff made my stay especially feel like home and I made many friends in the convivial environment fostered by the building. The view is incredible and I found myself looking forward to coming back after every day outside. It felt like a family home truly and the first place i felt like I belong in Vietnam. The food is really incredible too and such a good deal. It’s hard to leave the hostel actually, it has everything you need to enjoy (pool table, foosball, board games, cards, library) and it is probably my favorite place in Da Lat…maybe Vietnam. I met many travelers who kept extending their stays because of the chill beautiful vibe, myself included. I cannot emphasize enough how the staff make the place so hospitable with their real human connection and care.

Occasionally it attracts the party vibe, which can be hard to sleep with on the rare occasion, but the staff is very attentive and corrects for this quickly by moving different groups around the accommodation so everyone sleeps well. There were times i would also want the night to continue late and laugh with my friends, but there’s a pretty strict quiet time enforcer security type dude who doesn’t let things slip… he’s actually quite kind hearted i discovered by the end of my stay :) Tigon the dog is adorable but pretty willful about where he wants to sit and will have no issue gently and persistently forcing you out of his way… this is part of his charm though and I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t love him…not sure this really belongs in the ☹️ section because I wouldn’t want to change him, but sometimes I also don’t want to give up where I’m sitting 😅

Breakfast

Nothing

Everything was wonderful! The place was clean, comfortable, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Nothing at all, everything was perfect during my stay.

Propre, le personnel passe tout le temps nettoyer et ranger. Eau bien chaude à la douche. Capsule plutôt bien fermée. Grands casiers où rentrent tous les bagages. Le scooter loué sur place est nécessaire car à pied tout est loin.

C'est un party hostel, avec une population très jeune et très anglo-saxonne. Musique très forte de la fin d'aprèm jusqu'à 22h, ce qui fait que nous ne pouvions pas rester dans les parties communes et nous entendions encore beaucoup dans la chambre. Beaucoup de bruit aussi dans le dortoir car les gens (réceptionnistes inclus) le considèrent comme une extension du bar. Heureusement vers 22h, une navette emmène tout le monde en ville et le bruit s'arrête d'un coup. Je déconseille donc si vous voulez dormir tôt. Ils vendent les tickets de bus Futaline, presque au double du prix proposé au guichet (350d au lieu de 180d pour aller à Nha Trang, le pick up est aussi inclus si vous réservez vous-même...). Nous avons fait laver notre linge et le prix avait mystérieusement augmenté quand nous l'avons récupéré, mieux vaut le faire peser devant vous. Pas d'eau en libre-service. Notre matelas était très creusé. La lampe dans la capsule ne permet pas de lire.
