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.

The hostel was very modern and clean. It's located in an alley (which doesn't have the negative connotation it does in the U.S. In Vietnam, businesses are often in alleys). I was honestly surprised by how intimate the setting was. I was in the single room on the first floor as I was advised to have since I had a lot of heavy luggage from shopping and the hotel didn't have an elevator. Only a little bit of stairs to climb. Also, I left something in Hoi An and asked if I could have it shipped there (and this was before I even checked in and arrived) and they said yes and happily took care of it until I arrived. Everyone was nice and super responsive. There are pets but they are trained and not unruly, and they are small.
