To me, a good place stay is somewhere that has good bathroom facilities. The shower/toilet area in Meanders is the nicest in any place I've actually ever stayed in. The showers, have big proper shower heads, with great water pressure, they have shampoo.. shower gel.. and conditioner! It's always hit and miss with hostels if they even have the first two at all. The toilets are also great, it's a bidet with heated toilet seats! And of course they're super clean, it all feels very premium. The hotel has filtered water machines, free to use to fill up your water bottles. Cold and hot water. The beds are sooo comfortable and large, I stayed in the dorm for over a week and it was bliss. The beds are big, have a good privacy curtain, light and and single socket as standard. The rooms also come with secure lockers that are opened with a key card, no need for a lock, which is always nice. The room also has a large commercial aircon, that you can control, so the room was always at a nice cool temperature and it was easy to sleep at night. The top floor does have a rooftop bar but I'm not a big drinker so I didn't use it. The hostel does have a kitchen with a fridge and stove top so if you want to cook for yourself you can, however the hostel is located in such a good location with many affordable and delicious Japanese restaurants that I ate out all the time and maybe got a little bit fat.. The staff are the stars of the show though and for my nearly 2 weeks in total staying here it has become my favourite place to stay. Meanders became my home in Saigon. It's very affordable, the dorms here are not much more then the dorms in the centre, but you get what you pay for, the comfort, the cleanliness and the service make it worth the money!

The lobby which is lovely doesn't have an automatic front door so it usually gets left open and the consequence of that is that the lobby is full of mosquitoes. It's only a problem because I like to wear shorts and I get bitten a lot but that's the only thing I didn't like.

I stayed at the mixed dormitory for three nights. The place is extremely customer-centric, with all the staff members, regardless of their shift hours, providing consistent attention to the occupants. The location is exceptionally clean, from the rooms to the common bathroom (I would say it's as clean as a 4 or 5-star hotel). It's conveniently located within walking distance of many tourist attractions and just a stone's throw away from the exciting parts of Little Tokyo. The atmosphere is quiet, and I believe it caters more to a mature crowd. However, I also shared the dorm with a few younger guys (in their early twenties) on the first day. This is not a party hostel. Nevertheless, from my experience, you can still make friends if you're willing to take the first step. I will definitely recommend this place and would love to stay there again. The price point for the dorms I believe is worth the quality of service, that they are offering.

Nothing to complain about.

We absolutely loved staying at Meander. We originally booked a different hostel, however it was drastically below the expectations we had when we booked and ended up booking a last minute stay here instead. Best choice we could have made! The location is extremely safe, the rooms and common areas were really clean, and it was a great experience. The slide was also a lot of fun, even for adults. We noticed a lot of remote workers staying at the hostel, and found it really welcoming, luxurious, and all-inclusive for a hostel! The staff were also amazing and super friendly.

Honestly, no complaints here. It was a little more on the expensive side for a hostel, but the quality was definitely worth it. Only improvement might be to include a water bottle per guest per day, as that seemed to be the standard at other places and was surprised that was not the case here. They have water stations and carafes provided, however not ideal if you're walking around all day in the city.

Walking distance to Ben thanh market and Saigon Square. You can Grab/Uber everywhere as it is cheaper in Vietnam. Staff were friendly and helpful with good English. Communal fridge downstairs has a freezer which is helpful. Minibar fridge in our own room doesn't have freezer. We stayed in a private room, and the bathtub in the living room was a good addition. Rooms are clean. Although a hostel, it's a family friendly hostel, and I didn't hear any loud crowds. Instead I noticed a lot of families with older children staying there. I would stay here again.

Everything was good.

The Meander Saigon was a comfortable hostel. I stayed in the private room which was compact with a private bathroom. The hostel has a common kitchen on ground floor and a coworking space. The location is good and has lot of restuarants and cafe around.

I had informed the staff that I would be checking out 1 hr late than the standard check out time. I was late by 1 hour 15 mins and in my absence the staff entered my room and brought down my luggage without informing me. This I felt was intrusion of privacy and the staff should have atleast checked with me before entering my room and taking my luggage.

This hostel is slightly more expensive than others but so worth it! The rooms are very cosy, the beds and pillows much more confortable than you’d dream of, the bathroom very clean and convenient. You actually have some space to manage your stuff in the shower room! And people are very mindful and respectful of each other, which I guess has a lot to do with the standards of the place. Would definitely come back despite the remote location of the hostel!

The location was a bit far away from the main tourist attraction from Saigon (20 min walking to central market, 30 to war museum…) and the laundry service was expensive (50k VND for 1kg so twice the price I paid in most hostels, even nice ones).

I came back to this hostel three times. This never happened before when I travelled, you know to check in the second at a same hostel or hotel. They will not go out of their way to please you or anything but I loved that they are so professional, friendly and helpful. everything is super clean and well organized. I super liked the Japanese toilet. I also liked that other guests are also friendly and calm and keep everything not lousy. the location is so central. you will love it!

it’s just minor, not a big deal because nothing is perfect so I would not say it because I loved this hostel so much!

A popular choice among Digital nomad travellers and those with a bit of extra budget, visiting Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Convenient location close to popular tourist attractions and restaurants. The hostel is clean, with decent showers and well-maintained. While the hostel may not be the most sociable option, the facilities are great and the rooms are comfortable and well-equipped. It offers a range of room options, including dormitories and private rooms. Overall, Meander Saigon Hostel is a well-regarded option for travellers who are looking for a comfortable and well-located hostel in Ho Chi Minh City, with good facilities for working during the day.

The co-working space is a bit smaller. It would be nice if the hostel organise a few activities to facilitate socialise with other traveller.

We were just passing through, so only stayed for one night in the Suite with City view. The room was really clean, a good size, very comfortable and nice to have a bath in the room. Staff were really lovely, polite and helpful making the brief stay a delight. The location is a really easy walk to the main attractions and even though we arrived late, we managed to get to the key sights by foot.

As mentioned we were only there for one night and it was a smooth check in and out process, so for the price, very little to dislike.

Great location, nice staff, clean rooms. The hostel is great. While Meander Saigon is classified as a “hostel,” it offers so much more than the typical hostel experience: exceptional rooms, cleanliness, service, and a relaxed atmosphere complete with a terrace. Perfect.

Rooms on the 8th floor near the elevator are noisy due to the loud elevator. Unfortunately, the laundry service was cancelled in July 2023 – which is definitely a bad decision, in my opinion.
