Northern hostel 2 - Bui Vien Walking Street

that they managed a guest to open the gate for me at my arrival,and that the owner was keen to help according to their possibilities

All was a mess in real check in time,a disappointment at the moment of check in

Rose is a nice looking female,that`s all.

room changed without mentioning on the booking site that the reserved room was not in Northern hostel 2 but Northern hostel which means fully other address and so was that the back side of my room was directly in the Bui Vien walking street noise buffering block,Rose said that the higher floor naturally are louder and as I asked move me to second floor which was empty,it was refused although empty at the first night then she moved me to the first floor which then I was disturbed from the neighbors who according to Vietnamese tradition mostly interact outside the house and loud so my host rose to justify herself said " I mentioned it may be little loud" but she has to mention this important information on booking website so the guests has a chance to read prior to reservation to have a chance to deiced not to reserve but instead the host use whats App communication after guest checked in and paid means has no chance to choose, by the way unfortunately this is the scheme used by most of the hosts in Vietnam to me they are not decent and truthful when it come to business just stay away from them and book somewhere else save your nerve and time.

Comfortable bed in the private room..Good natural lighting. Offer fresh water. Great price. Good air-con. Shared bathroom is cleaned regularly & I don't think the people even used it as they were in a dorm and probably had their own bathroom!

Trevligt

Allt var toppen

Nothing, very bad location, dirty run down, cold water, facilities don't work. Staff are rude

They told us we could check in earlier with no charge so we specifically walked across town to check in only to be told it was double the cost of the room just to check in a few hours earlier. So they made us wait on the street while the room sat empty for hours. We should have just left then, because its filthy trash hostel and nothing works.

Très propre et confortable. Belle décoration. Cafe, thé et eau accessible dans le hall ! Bien placé, à 20-30min à pied du centre touristique.

Depuis ma chambre, on entendait légèrement la musique, mais rien de grave (le week-end, beaucoup moins la semaine). Mais on le savait vu l’emplacement !

Easy check in and clean

Proximité des activités nocturnes

Musique jusqu' à 5h du matin

very clean

Gostei da localização

A anfitriã é muito invasiva , sempre entrando nos quartos

L’emplacement est vraiment très pratique, très proche du centre-ville. On est situé au plein cœur de la walking street, donc c’est vibrant. Mais la chambre est tout de même au calme. La chambre était propre et très confortable !

The location is great for getting around town but it is very noisy all night so not good if you are a light sleeper.

Sehr schönes großzügiges Zimmer. Sehr angenehmes Ambiente im Hotel selbst. Sehr sympathische Gastgeberin. In der Lobby extra Kühlschrank und Kochgelegenheit für alle Gäste, Lage unweit der Partymeilenstrasse, aber im Hotel selbst kaum Lärm von dort hörbar.

Alles war ok.

le logement était pas ouf, les douches pas propre du tout, et nous nous sommes fait arnaqué par la dame de l’accueil par rapport à la caution de la clé, et elle nous a jamais redonné notre caution et demander de l’argent pour vérifier la caméra caché par des meubles devant pour vérifier le jour où on lui a donné l’argent, et la dame ne parlait pas du tout anglais donc c’était assez compliqué, donc les discussions ont mené à rien et on s’est fait anarqué de l’argent

it's just at Bùi Viên Street, very happening

there isn't an elevator for my room choice, had to climb to 3rd floor with heavy luggage & the room is slightly noisy from the street, not entirely soundproof

Goede locatie. Vrouw aan de receptie spreekt beperkt Engels maar is gastvrij en probeert je verder te helpen.

Geen warm water maar was op zich geen groot probleem.

I just felt in love with the host, she's a cute and lovable woman! This morning i woke up very late because had few many beers on saturday, and she woke up me and made jokes on me, it was a beautiful way to wake up, and I really felt her like a mother🥹 She was also so kind and disponible with check in and check out, today we talked a bit and when i was leaving we stopped to talk a bit, although the only night i think i'll miss her:c Also the position is super good, you're really close to most of the main places in district one and literally less then 1min away from bui vien street. Thank u and hen gap lai❤️

The staff, very kind and the place, very cozy and clean. I had an amazing room and I really enjoyed it!

Very noisy, as it's on a crazy party-till-morning road. Depending on your plans, might not be a good choice, if you want to sleep. Must be said that the hotel is providing you with free earplugs, but still..

Realmente, este hostel está muy bien. La dueña es súper simpática y de verdad que influye mucho, de manera positiva, la alegría con la que te recibe nada más llegar. Y si la ves por la mañana, te da los buenos días con mucha alegría; es un amor de persona. Además, está en una muy buena ubicación, las camas son muy cómodas y todo está muy limpio.

Quizás el ruido. Pero realmente si tienes tapones (y si eres un traveller debes llevarlos) no escuchas nada

- Had a very cosy room with balcony on the top floor - central location

I did not mind, but it is very noisy at night because it is very central

Lokalizacja. Nie słychać tak strasznie hałasu z ulicy.

Zdjęcia nie oddają tego co naprawdę dzieje się w hostelu. W pokoju jest ciasno i ciemno. Przy większej ilości osób duszno. Szkoda że Pani na recepcji nie mówi po angielsku. WiFi nie dochodzi do pokoju. Jest jedna łazienka na piętrze więc jedna ubikacja na przynamniej 8 osób.

非常满意

没有不满意，很满意

Nice little room with balcony of plants, good location and the owner was nice.

The shower temperature was intermittent and very loud at night due to music from walking street, if you use ear plugs you will be ok.

Il posto è un po’ difficile da trovare, ma poi si viene ricompensati. Il vicolo sembra un’isola della Saigon del passato, lontana dal clamore della zona turistica della città. La posizione è centrale, appunto nella zona turistica, ma il vicolo è appartato, tranquillo, silenzioso. La struttura è pulita, curata, la camera privata ha tutti i comfort promessi. La signora Rose è gentile e premurosa. Il bagno (pulito e perfettamente funzionante) è condiviso solo con un’altra camera privata, quindi nessun sovraffollamento. È stato il mio miglior soggiorno in Vietnam e uno dei migliori di tutti i miei viaggi.

Gli orari di check-in e check out sono inflessibili, se si anticipa l’arrivo o si ritarda la partenza si paga il sovrapprezzo.

I love this place, have stayed at both locations three seperate times, once solo and twice as a couple. Rose is an amazing hostess, and the place was so nice. Great location for tourists insides the alleys of Bui Vien walking street. Will keep coming back!

Safety is okay. Video cams okay.

Noisy region, there is a party street near. So you always hear music outside on weekends ))) use ear plugs )))

Bona ubicació. Tot i ser habitacions petites, estan molt ben equipades i decorades. A l’entrada de l’allotjament pots reomplir l’aigua i també hi ha una nevera per deixar el que necessitis. Està tot molt ben tencat i tenen molt en compte la seguretat.

No és res negatiu, simplement és que us fixeu que el labavo és compartit! Nosaltres no ho vam veure i ens ho vam trobar quan vam arribar. (L’allotjament ho indica). Les habitacions són petites.

Shared fridge to keep your personal food and drinks cool. :) Close to central place with all Offices for tourists, close to walking street.

Its very close to walking street, where all parties are happening. Some people may be dissapointed because of noise. For me it was ok, but some people may find it uncomfortable to sleep.

Tout était génial! L’hôte était super agréable avec mon amie nous recommandons à 100%

Rien

המענה היה מהיר, תמיד זמינים בוואצאפ, נחמדים ועוזרים בכל מה שצריך. אם אתם צעירים אז המיקום מעולה, סמטה קטנה מרחוב מרכזי עם המון חיי לילה מועדונים וברים, כל ערב הוא מסיבה שם. ובגלל שממוקם בסמטה אז גם לא כלכך רועש

באמת שרוב הדברים היו בסדר גמור. היה לנו ג׳וק קטן ושממית בחדר והזרם במקלחת היה קצת חלש אבל מאוד ממליצה על המקום הזה

- in the middle of District 1 but still quit because the hostel is located in a small alley - super nice and friendly host - all was very clean - free water - use of public fridge - use of public kettle -hostel has a very small public area where we met some nice people

- a small shelf in the room would be nice - the mattress was a bit too soft

L’emplacement Le rapport qualité / prix

La manière de communiquer du personnel : - On a été guetté pour payer vite la chambre et on nous parlait que pour ça. J’avais l’impression d’être surveillée car la personne de l’hôtel surgissait de la pièce derrière le comptoir quand je descendais. Et c’était les seuls moments où la personne s’adressait à nous. - On m’a demandé d’enlever mes sandales dans le bâtiment. J’ai expliqué que c’était désagréable pour moi car j’ai vu de mes propres yeux les personnes rentrer en chaussures de ville dedans. Ce que le personne m’a dit : les gens portent des chaussures des chambre (alors que j’ai vu que c’était des chaussures de ville). Même dans la salle de bain je voyais quelques traces grises par terre. Les tatanes en question dans les chambres sont des tatanes qui ont été portées sûrement par beaucoup de personnes avant donc j’avais pas envie de les mettre. Enfin bref le tout je pense qui a été désagréable c’est la manière dont les choses ont été faites. Je me trouve actuellement dans le même type d’hôtel avec le même prix et le personnel est très accueillant ce qui est bien plus agréable.

Es limpio y acogedor

・ブイビエン通りから近く、夜遅くまで飲んで歩いてすぐ帰れるのが本当にありがたい立地 ・ブイビエン近いのにホテル内は全然静かで寝心地良かった ・シャワーもお湯出るのが嬉しい。虫もそんな多くないし、一泊17万ドンって考えたら大満足。ホステル慣れしてない方は分からないが、旅してる人からしたら本当に泊まりやすいと思う。 ・入り口すぐに喫煙スペースと椅子とかあるから、チルできるし、他の宿泊客とも仲良くなれる。 総じて、コスパ含めると非常に良いと感じた

・部屋に扇風機しかないから昼はちょっと暑かった ・多分6人部屋のドミ？が何室かあったが、バスルームが2個しかなかったのはちょっと残念 ・オーナーの女性は1人英語話せるが、もう1人は英語話せない。少し不便だが、気になることがあれば他の英語喋れる宿泊客に尋ねれば良い

Clean, quiet especially considering the location

Stuff was wonderful

Too little space in a room and no female dorms

Nice size room and bathroom. Close to a few good markets. The host was really nice and responsive.

Shower isn't that hottest especially in the morning as it is warmed by a solar power system.

Nice otel

Le logement est très bien situé dans une ruelle à l’écart de la rue animée et le personnel était très arrangeant

La salle de bain est séparée de la chambre et la chambre est relativement petite, nous avions peu de place pour poser nos affaires

Гарна локація, наявність кондиціонеру, комфортне ліжко, різні види освітлення кімнати, комфортний душ та туалет

Іноді є дивний запах від сусідів при вході в хостел

After a month of backpacking, this was by far the nicest room we stayed in. Beautifully decorated with excellent facilities, it felt like a real treat. There's a hair dryer, kettle for tea and coffee, fridge dowstairs, somehwere to hang your clothes and also a full length mirror which was a lovely touch. The location is perfect - close to all the must-see sights and great restaurants, yet surprisingly quiet despite being near the party street. We didn't hear a thing from our room. It can be a bit tricky to find at first, but just follow the host's directions: stop at the Seven-Eleven store - 26 Do Quang Dau Street, District 1. And then from there you look opposite to see an alley, you walk straight to the alley for 60m, then look ay the left side to see our hostel. There is a sign you can clearly see and just follow Google maps as well The host is absolutely lovely - such a kind woman who genuinely cares about her guests. She speaks a bit of English but has no problem communicating through Google translate. She replaced our towels daily and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Don't let that one negative review from Simon fool you it's so obviously fake. Plus, there's an adorable cat that lives here too! Thank you so much for letting us stay here, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ho Chi Min city.

The hosts - Rose and her mother - are very kind. The mom does not speak English but we communicated well with a translator. Internet was super fast. There is a little fruit market every day in the morning right below the window, starting at 6, but it did not cause any sleep interruption. The room is equipped with AirCo and a ventilator, which are very much needed end of May. The furniture was essential but nice.

Finding it was not super easy, and when I arrived nobody was there. The only way to contact them was via phone, which I couldn't use because of roaming limitations. Maybe more instructions or coordination would help.

- air conditioning - clean and well presented - very kind owners! -centrally located and quiet at night - easy check in and check out - water, tea and coffee provided

- little bit tricky to find at first but watch out for the signs for the alley leading to the property. The owners are helpful with directions. - the mattress is extremely firm (so not for me as a personal preference)

It's a small hostel and it was easy to meet other people. It's in walking distance to all the mayor places in the city and super close to the bus stop to/from Cambodia. Shower was powerful

There is often no staff present at the hostel. That's not an issue, but I couldn't reach the owner for a while, so I was stuck outside. Then the place had an issue, so I was brought to the other Northen Hostel. It is close and not an issue, but if I knew before I could have gone there straight.

Cramped spaces, felt like the pictures didn't represent the room accurately. Washroom claimed to have hot water but didn't work. Only 2 washrooms for 2 floors .The older boss lady couldn't speak English so communication was difficult.

We stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. The welcome was excellent and the lady was very kind and helpful. The location is perfect, close to the centre, restaurants and bars. The dorm was comfortable and clean. There are lockers, curtains and the mattresses are comfortable.

The shower is next to the toilet, so there's water everywhere, which isn't very practical.

The hostel is located really centered in a small steet. Realy nice hosts and everything you need is around. A big bus Station just 5 min away

Friday night got quite noisy but if you enjoy beeing part of its great and if the room is fully booked it is realy not much space for anything.

Very friendly staff, Rose and her mother. Very clean

It was clean and the owner is friendly

Nothing

Clean facility, lovely staff and super good price!!

Really close to the loud party street, but it’s okay I slept with earplugs

Nothing to be honest.

This hostel neither has the vibe nor the size for a proper hostel. In the first place Rose and her mum were kind enough to check us in around 3 am in the morning. Rose’s mum showed us our dorm and as soon as she opened the door, a Bangladeshi guy ran straight at her. She shouted at him and after that he went to his bed. He was just wearing a towel and looked super weird. And the room smelled of alcohol. Then we asked for another room. At this point mum was calling rose over the phone. Rose said “you are not okay with that dorm because of the Bangladeshi guy right”. Presume she knows about his odd behaviour in the first place. And the dorms were super cramped. It had space for Only one person to move around at a time. We landed in Ho Chi Minh City around 2 am in the night and were super tired. The next day morning Rose’s mum started knocking the door and asked for our passports. She said she had to check the visa cos she didn’t check it earlier. All my friends were sleeping because of the fatigue and I had to wake them up for their passports. She didn’t listen when I said I’ll show her the passports later. It’s understood that we have to pay at the time of checkin, however we didn’t have enough cash at that time. In the morning Rose asked me for the money and I asked her politely if we can pay at the time of check out cos our bags were still there. She was a bit rude and straight forward in responding to me. And when Rose and I were talking, one of my friends was walking towards the door (we were a group of 6). Rose stopped him abruptly and said “where are you going? Pay for the stay first”. My friend was very embarrassed. Ofcourse we call know money is important. But guests shouldn’t be treated this way. It felt a bit racist for us. After we paid she started speaking sweetly and asked where are we heading next and all that. Overall a disappointing stay. We had been to 4 other hostels in Vietnam before this one but this had to be the worst of all.

There is so more around this place,banks food entertainment for those who like.its at a good location near all you may require.

Honestly all was okay. The staff were very friendly and hospitable.GOD bless them indeed😊🙏

The staff was kind and polite, the place is quiet, that was good

ITS NEW and very tidy, firm mattress super noise insulated and a proper new AC The stuff is phenomenal

Rose was was so nice. The place is clean, affordable and near pub street.

This hostel is a homely little place in a perfect location, a quiet alleyway just off the main nightlife/walking street. The owners are friendly and accommodating. The room is clean, comfortable, and inviting. A perfect base for our Saigon explorations!

Nothing to complain about!
