I like a long list of things: care for guests, general cleanliness, comfortable mattress and wide bed, spacious modern dorms, hot water in nice glass bathrooms, and good Wi-Fi. They also have a lounge space on the ground floor and rooftop chillout area. The payment for a dorm includes an excellent breakfast. Often, this is one or another soup made from noodles, vegetables, and mushrooms, as well as a piece of fruit - a good start to the day. You also can have a mug of hot instant coffee. You can re-fill your bottles with clean drinking water for free - as much as you want. Thus, you will save money and the ocean as well if you care. The hostel has thought out the details well. For example. When you arrive in a new place, finding a good restaurant that is both tasty and inexpensive takes a lot of time. But in this hostel, they send you a list of local cafes and restaurants in the area on Whatsapp. I've personally checked part of this list - very tasty and at local prices. For example, I love a clean and friendly shop cooking and selling vegetarian banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) - 0.7$ for one piece. When I have 2 of them + iced coffee (0.8$), it makes a good dinner. A plate of rice and chicken will cost only 1.4$ (35.000 dong) in a restaurant in the area of Aloha Saigon Hostel. The hostel is located on a quiet alley (no traffic noise, no nightclubs) in the safe district - a sort of middle-class neighborhood; no stray dogs, no extreme poverty here; inexpensive restaurants and diverse local life (many Catholic churches here in labyrinths of alleys). The hostel is situated 3 km away from the heart of the central Saigon, Ben Thanh Market area. You can travel there by bus #28 (also #4, #152); a bus ticket costs 0.2-0.3$. Take #7 to go to Cholon (aka Saigon's Chinatown).

Really loved staying at Urbanest Saigon! The hostel is super new, very clean, and everything feels fresh and comfortable. The beds are cozy, the rooms are quiet, and you can tell a lot of care went into setting things up just right. The owner is so friendly and always makes sure you're doing well, she’s genuinely caring and helpful. Also, there’s a great little café downstairs with amazing coffee. It’s a chill spot to relax in the evening or start your day. If you’re looking for a calm, clean place in the heart of the city, this is definitely a great choice!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
