Conveniently situated in the District 1 district of Ho Chi Minh City, Northern Hostel - Bui Vien Walking Street is located 1.5 km from Takashimaya Vietnam, 1.3 km from Ben Thanh Street Food Market and 1.6 km from Tao Dan Park. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is less than 1 km from the city centre and a 12-minute walk from Fine Arts Museum.

I recently stayed at a small hostel run by a lovely mother-daughter team, and it exceeded my expectations. The place looks exactly like the pictures—clean, with great bathrooms, plenty of hot water, and excellent air conditioning. The beds are very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Located right in the city center, it's also great value for money. Although it's a new hostel with few reviews, people shouldn't worry about that. I’m glad I gave it a chance. The hosts are very helpful and responsive, making my stay even better. It might not be the most social hostel, but you can always meet people elsewhere and return here for a peaceful night’s sleep. Highly recommended for those who value cleanliness and comfort.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's no 5 star hotel but offers fantastic value for your money. Comparable to decent budget hotel at hostel prices. Great location. Staff are kind and friendly and breakfast is decent even if it lacks variety. No elevator but luggage can be lifted via motorized cable. Rooftop patio is an interesting space but would be better if there were an electrical outlet, a vending machine or something, as it is now its hard to justify the trip up so many stairs. Highly recommend for a budget conscious tourist!
