I had to change the days of my booking twice because of Visa issues and the staff where helpful and understanding about this. The hostel is located on a bustling alleyway about a minutes walk from where the buses stop. The area is full of restaurants, cafes and bars (and if you fancy it, tailors where you can get a... More

Excellent stay. The owner is very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and tidy. They provided nice touches like free tea / coffee and internet. Also they went out of their way to accomodate us even once we had checked out (offering us bag storage whilst we were on the tour and the use of a shower and... More

Very clean guesthouse and it's like you're staying at your own house. The Ngoc family is very friendly and helpful. I love staying at the lobby - watching tv, talking to co-backpackers and staff, using the computer for free while sipping coffee or tea (free). Cu Chi Tunnels tour and bus ticket to Phnom Pehn were taken care of by... More

This place is a pleasure to stay in- I paid $7 a night for an immaculate en suite dorm room (with A/C and an unnaturally comfy bed) and really good location. They provide free tea and coffee, and a nice tv area in front. But the most striking feature is how helpful and friendly the staff are- great advice about... More

This simple but very clean and efficiently run budget guest house is a comforting refuge from the hustle and bustle in the center of District No.1. Our room had a queen size bed, A\C, plus fans and a very clean bathroom with hot showers that met all of our needs. Ngoc, who runs the guest house, is most helpful sorting... More

The friendliest hostel staff I ever met, Mrs Ngoc and her sisters and her little baby. They will help you about itinerary, excellent tour and transportation booking, and lot of information about Saigon with good English. They will give you the best things. Maybe one thing that didn't work was the wi-fi didn't work well in my 1st level room,... More

We stayed 3 nights at ngoc thao in a double room. The room was on the small side, but contained all the necessary objects. The staff is very friendly and we decided to book two tours. Both tours were a bit touristy, but overall fun and very cheap. We enjoyed our stay at ngoc thao and would recommend it to... More
