The owner is so helpful and friendly, bringing out fruit and drinks if you happen to be waiting in the lobby. Also very helpful re booking buses etc

It is situated right by Bui Vien which is great for fun but it is what it is - loud! It’s not too bad at all in the room but something to know.

Great central location. Very friendly owner. Our room had a nice balcony. Plenty of space for four of us. Good shower. Was clean and comfortable. We had the family room with bunks. Owner gave us dragonfruit to try-yum. She was also super helpful with suggestions for places to eat. There is a 7-11 just outside and a bank machine very close.

Only downside is that it is on the party street so it was loud at night. I would say this is not a big issue if you are prepared. We knew this before we came though so we made sure we had earplugs.

Bed was comfortable, even though it's down a small alleyway off the main bar/nightclub street, it's fairly quiet. Could hear the odd bass but still managed to get to sleep. Helpful to have a desk as well. The owner was very kind and helpful, quick turnaround on our laundry and showed us good eating spots.

The shower pressure was quite weak and the glass door to the bathroom opened onto the toilet bowl, very strange design.

Cute little place - super lovely staff who helped us navigate HCMC, book onward tickets, get a SIM card etc. The room was comfy. It's in the centre of the super hectic backpacker district (down a little alleyway) - handy in some ways, a bit crazy in others.

Best to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper - the street outside is full of clubs blasting techno and karaoke till the early morning. The sound spill is wild!

Lily is the best guest in town ! She is very welcoming and down to help with anything you need, from Vietnamese Sim Cards, city maps and the main atttactions to a good fresh Vietnamese coffee. She even drove me all the way to the airport on her motorbike to collect my found backpack out of kindness. The hostel is very nice and neat and it is in the heart of Bui Vien, a go-to destination for the Saigonese night life. Totally Recommended !!

wonderful stay at Lilys! Lily is a kind and helpful host. Her support throughout our 2 night stay was brilliant. The property was clean and felt welcoming- we didn’t want to leave! If you are coming to HCMC I cannot recommend staying here enough đŸ€©đŸ€©

This wasn’t a problem for us however if you’re a light sleeper then it may be a little en noisy in this area due to the clubs.

Lily was very helpful and nice. The room was clean and there were no bugs, which seemed rare on our search for hostels in Ho-Chi-Minh if you do not want to stay in a dorm. The location was perfect and the room we had was not loud at all. I guess it depends on the side of the building you have. Also, the look of the room was neat.

Sadly the Wifi was not good and there was some mold on the walls and kept flaking down to the coat hangers. Bathroom could be a bit cleaner.

Nice, clean rooms and location is pretty much perfect. Just next to Bu Vien walking street if you want to party and very central to the entire city as well. We had a great hostess who really helps you out. She drew on maps for us to recommend places to see and things to do and even helped us speak to airline staff through the phone when we needed to change flights. Thank you đŸ™đŸŒ

The bed in our room was a bit uncomfortable but had no problem to sleep.

It was excellent value for money. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It appears very simple - but it has everything we needed for our 2 night stay. (Including umbrellas for the crazy June downpours!)

It was very loud at night - and we were not there to party - but this was not a problem as we had ear plugs for sleeping at night. The host also offered us a quieter room the second night.

Cute little spot right in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City! The owner in reception was very lovely, even gave us a better room and provided local recommendations!

Can be a little noisy at night as it’s right off a very busy walking/ party street. Seemed to quieten down after midnight though. Didn’t really bother us but just something to be aware of
