Long Hostel

Centrally located, minutes away from the Saigon Bus Station, the last stop of Bus 109 from the Airport; surrounded by many restaurants, shops and fruit stalls, walking distances to a few noticeable attractions in the city center. In a side ally and insulated from traffic noise. Easy to find, easy check in and check out. Clean room, comfy bed, clean linens and towel, friendly and English-speaking staff, and complimentary breakfast. Outstanding value for the money. Overall, one of the best hostels I have stayed in my years of travel around the world.

The hostel is located near the bus station and close to a small market where you can buy delicious banh mi baguettes, sugar cane juice and many other things. The owners of the hostel are very friendly, they can arrange trips to the surrounding area, you can buy beer or a raincoat right at the hostel, which I find very practical. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast, where you can choose from 3 meals and they will even prepare you a real Vietnamese coffee. The atmosphere there is very friendly, the rooms are nice, clean. We came back to this hostel again at the end of our trip and if I ever return to Saigon again, I will definitely choose to stay at this hostel again.

Beautiful, homely feel to the place. Room was absolutely spotless, the family who run it are incredibly friendly and helpful - they can help you to sort excursions and laundry etc. The location is great, very close to the Bar Street and to Central Market. Breakfast is included for all even though it didn’t mention it on the booking, with 4 choices for both food and drink, including omelette, scrambled eggs, baguette with jam and the star of the show, banana pancake (amazing!). Room had a kettle and microwave too.

I had to checkin in the middle of the night and it was smooth self check-in with clear instructions. The banana pancake at breakfast was really good. The location is great with easy access to nearby attractions. The family stays on the ground floor so it feels lovely, would have loved to have had some more time to interact with them more. The owners are very sweet.

Family running the hostel were so lovely and we really enjoyed chatting with them :) they helped us learn some Vietnamese phrases and gave us directions to all the places we wanted to go. They also can book you onto some really great tours which were the highlight of our time in HCM. Great breakfast, great rooms which were clean, safe and quiet at night. Next time we’re in the city we will definitely be staying here again.
