Saigon Rooftops Hostel, hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Saigon Rooftops Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Ho Chi Minh City.

I really enjoyed the welcome I received from the friendliest staff ever, the free beer a day was also a great touch. The pub crawl was lots of fun and they really put in the effort to ensure that you had a good time! The dorm room itself was clean and the shower had good water pressure. The cupboards were lockable and I felt very safe, even in a mixed dorm.

Triple Hostel, hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Triple Hostel in Ho Chi Minh City provides adults-only accommodation with a shared lounge and a terrace.

The hostel is new and just opened. The bed is really comfy, good aircon. Location is really good. Lots of cafes/street food near by. Easy walk to all the main sights; the opera house, post office, Notre Dame Cathedral etc. Ben Thanh market is under a 10 minute walk. Close to walking street for night life but far enough away that its really quiet. The metro has just opened (line one) and is really close, which can take you near to landmark 81. I got the bus from the airport and it dropped off a 5 minute walk from the hostel. The pink cathedral is a bit of a trek but there is a bus stop 5 minutes away which will take you there. Location was brilliant.

The Common Room, hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Well situated in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, The Common Room offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and free WiFi.

Great location at the end of main party street, walking distance to most attractions. Brand new hostel with modern och high-quality interior. Most comfortable dorm bed I’ve ever had! Very friendly and helpful staff. Will probably be even more amazing when the rooftop is finished! Overall it had a bit more of a ”mature” vibe to it and I made some great friends while it did not give the vibe of a ”19 y/o backpacker party hostel”.
