this is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at—it’s in a good location, the free breakfast is great, rooms are spacious and clean, free drinking water and great common area. (the rooftop is a plus as well!) The owner, Ha, is also incredibly nice, funny and really cares about his guests. he has a TON of suggestions for places to see in HCMC and will even put together a mini itinerary for you! I would come back to this hostel just because of how amazing him and his family are.

HALF Coffee N Dorm, hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Located in Ho Chi Minh City, HALF Coffee N Dorm features a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

This is a cute little place in the middle of a local area. I was there for work and it was very close to the place I needed to go. Every morning when I walk out, I get a taste of the true local Saigon life. I can say that the surrounding was the highlight of staying here for me. The people who own and manage the place are all very very kind and helpful. The hostel has a little doggy and two cats. So, if you love the furry ones, this is perfect for you. Room was nice. Small but also has enough space. And I appreciate the simple breakfast included.
