    The rooms were kept clean, the bathrooms were clean and functional, and the place had a water purifier to reduce plastic waste. The only complaint is that when I would sit on the first floor many people smoke right in the cafe/lobby. There are cheaper places, but if you want a nicer experience, it may be worth it.

    Because it is located next to a market, it can be loud in the mornings, around 5:30 am. This isn't the hostel's fault, simply a note. The bathrooms outside of the bedroom (on each floor) could have more attention.

    Great staff–so friendly and helpful. The location is very good, near the tourist center. It is affordable. The common area is like a cafe. Good internet. Storage lockers are conveniently located in the room, with an area for shoe storage also. A fridge to store your food. Beer for sale.

    Okay for a one-night stay

    The bathroom in the female dorm was dirty, and I encountered a large cockroach. The shower hose was broken, adding to the inconvenience. The bed curtains in the female dorm were too short, allowing light to filter in whenever other guests left the lights on. The hostel lacks soundproofing, so all indoor and outdoor noises are easily heard. A large market in front of the hostel generates a lot of noise, making it unsuitable for light sleepers—something you might have noticed when checking the location beforehand. Additionally, there is no elevator, and the narrow stairs make it challenging to navigate with large suitcases.

    Considering the low price, you can't expect much. However, for a one-night stay, it was a good experience, though I wouldn't stay longer. The female dorm was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when I arrived at midnight due to a delayed flight. They thoughtfully asked if I preferred a lower or upper bunk. The location was excellent, conveniently close to the main bus station with direct bus access to the airport. The WiFi connection was excellent.

    I booked a 6 bed room but got an 8 bed one. The room was still nice, but quite noisy - too close to the bar street and the thin windows don't prevent any noise at all. I heard the beats from the disco at night. I was in a female dorm and in the morning found out, that some man was sleeping there - he came late at night, apparently he knew some vietnamese lady in my room, who opened the door for him. This should never happen. The same lady was also hiding the remotes from the AC, staff did nothing about that. Not too social for travellers, many vietnamese staying there, probably because of the price. Generally I felt strange there, and next time I invested more money to stay in a different place.

    Friendly staff, good location, clean room, nice café downstairs. If you are on strict budget, it could be an option.

    the place looks like it’s been open for 2 years, not 2 months. when I arrived I was put in a room on the first floor that looked very worn, the bathroom was gross and a guy in my room was very sick with a cough (so of course I got sick too). bring earplugs because the music from the bar street can be heard until around 4am

    nice staff, fast internet, close to lots of cafes, I asked to move to a different room after being put in a room with only men and the front desk person was super accommodating. the rooms upstairs are in much better condition and cleaner than the rooms downstairs.

    The curtain of the upper bunk is a bit short, missing it's goal to provide full privacy. They should communicate better the no shoe policy. Although they provide free candles some guests step into the room with their shoes. It gets dirty when they go further onto the wet floor of the bathroom. No filtered water.

    Comfy beds with privacy curtains. Free towels. Clean spacious bathroom. Ac.

    Shower was good enough. It has enough light and it is decently clean. Showerhead is not mounted firmly, there is warm water and the water pressure is decent.

    Great location! Hard beds, however very comfortable, the little curtains each bed has gives you great privacy eventough you ar sleeping in a dorm. Sizable lockers, my 65L backpack fitted easily in it.

    It's hard to think of anything to improve. But maybe one idea is having water bottle refill available. But otherwise everything was great. Thanks guys!

    Good location, and very nice and quiet in the rooms. Very clean and well set up. The staff were amazing and so welcoming! Especially Veng - he went above and beyond to make sure guests were happy and comfortable. Great place.

    con: fake reviews (like with pretty much everything in Vietnam, aways read the bad review first!!) rooms to tiny for the amout of people not enough bathroom not realy clean a lot of rude costumers who dont care about other people, staff does not set/force any rules its constantly loud because of nearby club at least one bed next to window fells like birds living next to your head bed not comfortable hostel sells worst SIM provider ever (better go to Viettel-store outside tourist area!)

    pro: staff friedly though in middle of city center (dont know if that should be considered as a pro thing at all, I would reccomend to avoid district 1 and go somewhere else, if your not planing to hang out in Bui Vien everyday...) price ?! (actually I had better for half the price in VN, but yeah its in the city center so...)

Not even a glass for drinking. Dirty bathroms. Highly not recommended. High noise from the street and retailers.

    What made me sad: 1. Hostel doesn’t have kitchen for travelers where we could cook own food or even electric kettle to make own tea. 2. Bathroom door in my 8-bed mixed dorm room was so creaky and noisy each time when somebody opened it during day or night time. 3. Some men travelers sprayed entire bottle of their perfume on their bodies each time before going out. I had headache because of that perfume smell in the hot air. I don’t understand why people use perfume in a hot and humid tropical country. 4. A man in my 6-bed dorm room used toilet but never flushed it. It was uncomfortable to go to the bathroom when “nature called” and see somebody’s piss or poop in the toilet.

    Saigon Style Hostel & Café is a great and safe place to stay. Hostel is located centrally. Park, bus station, supermarkets, ATM, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, market, massage salons, strip bars and Bui Vien party street was near the hostel, within 1-5 minutes of walking distance. It was very comfortable that there is a noisy fruit and food market in front of the hostel. My 8-bed mixed dorm room was very clean, with bathroom and toilet. Clean bed with towel has been provided. Cleaning lady was cleaning the room every day and replacing used towel with clean and fresh one. There is a big locker in the room. Internet connection was on/off first days, but then stable rest of my stay. Hostel team informed me about some repairing works and asked to move to other 6-bed dorm room after couple of days of staying in 8-bed mixed dorm room. Bathroom design of the 6 bed dorm room was unusual: Bathroom door can’t be opened fully as it hits a sink. Toilet paper holder was installed weirdly. ;0))) But everything was okay and possible to use. Warning: There are a lot of stairs in the hostel. No lift/elevator. It will not be easy for travelers with huge bags or suitcase to walk up/down. Overall, everything was perfect. Hostel team was a great joy and asset. Thank you very much.

    There is a market downstairs, and there was noise all night I couldn't close my eyes. I was upstairs in a bunk bed and it was really close to the ceiling I got a hit on the head that made me dizzy, I arrived late from the flight and there was no hot water, the room and shower were not clean, there was a smell of mold, in the closets and in the room itself. I felt like I was in the street, I closed 2 doors and ran away after 1

    The location is good for walking the downtown area and also for the bus system. I stayed here because I was catching a bus early in the morning. So this allowed me to walk to the bus quickly in the morning. Everything seemed good, overall, at the hostel.
