Vietnam Backpacker Hostels - Hoi An

Great hostel, however I am really not a fan of hostels advertising air conditioned rooms and then policing the temperature/times you are permitted to use it. We had to boil alive in the room all day between 10am and 5pm (although one day we were told 6pm and sometimes it was turned off before 10am). The AC is turned on and off for you and you can't access the remote to adjust temp without asking. If it's too expensive then charge more or have a fan only option room so you get what is advertised. Most days the real feel temperature was 43C and it was unbearable to use the room at points. I was taking two cold showers a day minimum to try and cope. Most of the time we didn't have hot water (I could cope as it was very hot). However, the hostel had a great pool, sociable atmosphere and good common area. There was a free beer at times and also free breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. We missed the free breakfast on the first day as I don't think this was advertised on hostel world. They gave us a good recommendation for a tailor which was nice. Overall I would recommend this hostel but feel the AC policy should be reviewed.

Loved our stay, the private rooms are very nice and good price-value. The personal is helpful and they speak English. There is a free welcome drink and they can organize you a scooter for 150k. It is located between city center and beach, so if you have a scooter or use Grab, it's the perfect location to see both.

It's more of a party hostel. There's a bar in the ground floor, a small pool and 24 hours working reception. The highlight of the place is that they have a clean and hygienic washroom on every floor. Rooms are pretty clean and spacious. A few cons though are they have specific hours when they turn on the AC. They switch it on the entire night and turn it off all day long. It kinda sucked since I had an exhausting day travelling around only to be in a hot box again. I wish they were more convenient on that front. Location is a bit away from the main tourist attractions but they make upto it with their free transit facilities. Overall it's a nice place for a short stay!

My friends and I booked a 4 bed dorm - it was clean however no mirror in the room. Aircon only goes on from 5pm (which is disclosed on their website) but there is a fan in the room which is quite effective. During my 3 night stay I often found the bathrooms were without toilet paper. Staff were lovely and it was really easy to book day tours which were alot of fun. Breakfast is average (it’s a hostel, not a restaurant) and if you want anything extra like baked beans or a hash brown it is an extra charge. They have a laundry service however I wouldn’t bother with the express service again - my clothes came back smelling damp and gross. The vibe of the hostel was pretty good and staff were always around to help out if needed. There is also a secure luggage room available to store your stuff if needed.

We stayed here for 4 nights. I visited before Covid and it was a little bit quieter this time around, but still a lot of fun! The manager and staff are great and do their best to make sure everyone has a good time. Phi behind the bar was our favorite and always made jokes with us and Loni signed everyone up for beer pong and made sure we all made it to the next bar. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you’re interested in a social atmosphere. Even on the nights we didn’t want to go out we still had a good sleep and it wasn’t too loud.

Spacious hostel with pool! Staff is really helpful and the rooms are clean. Easy to meet people and free pedal bikes for rent around the town, beach and rice fields. And of course, happy hour for beers, cocktails and spirits. Highly recommend!

I shared a private room with my partner and it was new, clean, spacious and comfortable. Big bathroom and incredibly cheap for the area (felt like a 4 star hotel). Everyone was pretty friendly and the common area pool was great on a hot afternoon. Would reccomend!

One of the best accommodations to stay. Not a big crowd coming on weekdays so it will stay relatively quiter on those days. Breakfast portions are small but good for light eaters. Pool is nice and the rooms don’t have a curtain but that it the thing with all hoi an hostels.
