9.1Verified guest“Absolutely amazing – the host is fantastic and genuinely cares about guests. I loved the chill dorm vibe with privacy curtains, and the free beer on the rooftop was brilliant. Perfect location, close to everything but quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The balcony with city views was a nice touch.”

The property sits next to a quiet alley, surrounded by good restaurants and bars, and close to Bui Vien where all the action is. I had dinner at Ohana Hawaiian BBQ nearby.”
