Saigon Authentic Alley Hostel - Local Vibes, Rooftop & Gym

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The family made me feel very welcome and created such a warm and homely atmosphere. I especially loved the rooftop terrace with its view over the city. The breakfast was great, and the room was spacious, with good AC and comfortable beds. Everything was just right. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in the city!

Staff were very friendly, solid rooftop, breakfast was a great bonus, comfy beds and a nice spot not too chaotic, very chill hostel

Doors into rooms could do with some security

Very friendly

Nothing

Staff is supportive and very friendly. They are always available for questions and recommendations. Breakfast Pho was really good. Location is nice. Close to small restaurants nearby. District 1 is easily reached by grab.

Unlike other places I stayed in Vietnam, payment was upfront here. They don’t accept card. Only cash or Wise transfer. 4 bed room I stayed was not really nice. It had no windows to outside. No natural light, no fresh air. We had the AC running most of the times but I believe it was not very clean as I got sick after 2 nights of my stay (total I stayed 4) and I am still feeling sick from the stay. Another guy from the room also had problems with his throat. If you are solo traveler in a foreign country, getting sick is one of the worst that can happen to you… Size of the lockers are not large enough for large backpack or medium size lockers, people had to leave their stuff around - which cramps the room. Also there is no cupboard or anything to put your belongings right next to the bed. That’s not very convenient. After using the bathroom there was a smell coming out of the sink.
