Go elsewhere
We stayed in a private room. The sheets had stains on them, there was no toilet paper, the reservation said breakfast included and there was no breafast, the staff was asleep when we wanted to check in and check out, the rooms could be better cleaned and restocked with toileteries. Locationwise is close to the main backpacker street but you don't hear the noise. Overall, we would stay elsewhere.

Hostel No Lift. Stayed at the top floor (401) nice room with a small balcony. Bed is nice and firm but room not so clean. No free drinking water provided. Wifi is a little slow and the breakfast is an added value. Overall cheap and good.

While this is in the heart of the area, it needs much work. The room we booked was full of mold so they moved us to a smaller room that only had mold in the bathroom. While we really tried to enjoy the stay, there were several things that just made it not so nice - we found another hostel in a cleaner part of the area that was much nicer, newer and no mold for less money.

Great location, just down a quiet side alley from Bui Vien madness. Even at peak time you can't hear a thing, definitely a plus to be so close to it yet you can't hear it. Very peaceful in hotel. Balcony room was nice, vantage point of the alley way life below. Lots of family-run eateries and small bars right outside. Hotel staff were extremely helpful, great stay.

Best place for the value
Good location. Walking distant from Benh Thanh market. Located in an alley, it is isolated from the loud music at the main road. I could sleep well at the night. The breakfast was simple, but great.

Basic hostel with good breakfast and nice staff
My partner and I booked a double room with a window at this hostel. When we arrived it turned out the room didn't had a window, and the staff weren't able to do anything about it. Instead we got a discount on the room for 50 000VND/night and some complementary watermelon. We where pretty disappointed with this because we chose the room mainly because of the window. The room itself was pretty basic, no furniture except from the bed, a fridge and a shoe rack. The bathroom was ok and the room was cleaned daily. The location of the hostel is in a small alley close to the walking street, witch got very loud during the evenings. But for some reason the hostel was surprisingly quiet and we had no problems sleeping at night. Even though we didn't get the room we was expecting we would probably still recommend this place to others because of one of the staff members named Viet. He was really kind and helpful and you could tell that he was working really hard to make our stay pleasant. Also the included breakfast was good and it's really cheap to stay here. Would probably recommend dormitory over private room.
