    In the morning, we got to explore the bustling city on their "Saigon Sunrise Adventure. " We rode on colorful cyclos, tried delicious local breakfast, and marveled at the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, making it a fantastic experience for the whole family.

    For dads, it would be great if they offered a kids' play area.

    The staff here are absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond to make sure you have a fantastic stay. They're always happy to help with anything you need, from printing things for you to suggesting places to visit. The rooms are large and cool, with a great shower and lockers for your bags. Plus, there are two computers for guests to use and a TV and pool table in the reception area for a fun evening. The location is perfect, just a few steps away from a bustling street but tucked away in a quiet side street. And the best part? It's so easy to extend your stay here! I had a mind-blowing experience at this hostel and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a super friendly and comfortable place to stay.

    Mind-blowing hostel perfect for meeting new people and partying, with spacious dormitory rooms, big beds and lockers. Extremely modern facilities including well-equipped kitchen and common room with huge TV. Friendly staff, especially Harry, who took us on a night walk and treated us to delicious Vietnamese soup. Great location near cheap restaurants and nightlife. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, breakfast, and pet-friendly.

    I had a fantastic time at the hostel! The dormitory rooms were spacious and not crowded at all. The beds were huge and very comfortable. I loved that there were three outlets per person, so I could easily charge all my devices. The lockers were also big enough to fit my entire backpack. The facilities were modern, and I was particularly impressed with the well-equipped kitchen. The common room was a great place to meet new people, and the staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The location was perfect, with plenty of stores and cheap restaurants nearby, and it was close to the best nightlife area. I highly recommend this hostel.

    Although the hostel was great overall, the bed in my room on the 4th floor was quite unstable and shook whenever I moved. However, this was a minor inconvenience and didn't affect my overall enjoyment of my stay.

    The reception staff and cleaners were super friendly and helpful with any inquiries, and their English was mind-blowingly good. They provided great information about places to visit and delicious restaurants to eat at. I would absolutely recommend this hostel to other travelers!

    The staff at the reception were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They remembered my name and made me feel right at home. The rooms were clean and the showers were great. The location of the hostel was perfect, with many attractions within walking distance. Plus, there were plenty of food stalls nearby, so I never had a shortage of options for meals.

    One minor issue I had was the bed in my room. It was quite unstable and would shake whenever I moved even slightly.

    I stayed at a hostel in a great location. It was right by the main tourist area and also conveniently close to a supermarket. The highlight of my trip was the Cu Chi Tunnels tour organized through the hostel. It was slightly pricier than other tours offered on the street, but definitely worth it. The room I stayed in was clean and the staff were friendly. I want to give a special shoutout to one of the receptionists, Ms. Hien, for her exceptional help during my stay.

    There was nothing I didn't like about my stay at Saigon Backpackers Hostel @ Pham Ngu Lao. 😊
