Whacky place 

I stayed here for one night and was in a female only six bed dorm.
The hostel was everything you would expect from a backpackers hostel - the showers and rooms were clean, the beds were comfy and the rooms were air conditioned (important because I have learned that Ho Chi Minh City is most likely the hottest place on earth). 

THE BREAKFAST WAS FREE! AND DELICIOUS! definitely make sure you do not miss breakfast if you choose to visit this hostel, it was the best pho I’ve had on my trip so far. 

Only thing that might put people off is that there are no locks on the room doors however lockers are provided (but you must bring your own lock). 

Just what you need 

The place is strategic, near with market, ATM and money changer. The hostel is clean, the staff are very communicative and helpful. And the lady who provide the breakfast, mama Van I just wanna say thank you, you serve the food for me nicely. The food is authentic and delicious. To all the staff, fung,hoang, and uyen. Thank you for welcoming me so warm. What a nice place, is it a big deal to have an experience to stay here. 

I got vitamin 'smile' 

Old pictures shown of the hostel two years ago. The holes in my bed linen seem to mirror the holes in this establishments’ integrity. Recent changes made to the hostel seem to reflect a desire to enter bankruptcy- terrible rooms, terrible space, terrible bathrooms. 

Nice Japanese coffee shop out front though.

Vitamin smiles - vitamin A(void) vitamin B(ullshit) vitamin D(isaster) Vitamin E(vade)

Completely different hostel from the one featured in the pictures, staff explained that the photos were taken years ago before renovation (more like downgrading). Visited Alcatraz a few years back and it felt more homely than this utter hole. Avoid at all costs.

Vitamin lies

Legit the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. The photos look nothing like what they present it as. As well it was very dirty and the security was horrible. My boyfriend found a cockroach on his bed and I found several in the bathroom crawling around. The bathroom had a door that led to the outside that was locked with a tiny lock that could be easily broken. The “security lockers” they say they have fit my small purse in it that’s it. We were supposed to be there for 4 nights but left after 8 hours. Never going back. I do not believe this was the front desks fault. He was overall a nice guy.

HORRIBLE

The place was clean and beds were soft. The location was very close to Central Park
Great for solo traveler. Fair price for your money. Helpful staff, fine location, check-in 24/7. Available complimentry coffee and tee in the morning. Were kind and watched over my luggage for no extra charge.

great !!

First of all had a nightmare as the airport pick up that I had booked via the hostel didn’t turn up. A couple of hours and a paid taxi later I made it to the hostel at 4am. 
Hostel was relatively clean, sheets were ripped and the towel was so tiny it didn’t cover my body. 
Bathroom was okay (bring flip flops) and we ran out of toilet roll for a couple of days and I had to ask reception to refill it. 

Arranged two tours (Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta) through the hostel which were excellent!
Breakfast here is incredible!!! Choose the Vietnamese and you won’t be disappointed! 
Location is good, only a 5 min walk to backpacker area/main walking street. 

On check out it took an awful long time for them to calculate my bill. 

Okay hostel run by lovely people but could be room for improvements with the cleanliness and the staff!

Okay hostel but room for improvements

Cons;
-The cleanliness of the place is awful, bugs in the bathroom, mosquitoes is the bedroom. One of the toilets had no soap or toilet paper throughout our whole three night stay (obviously not cleaned either). Rubbish outside in the seating areas also.
- WiFi is not good at all.
- There was a fan in our room that squeaked all night (it must’ve been left on as the AIRCON was broken) and after complaints from other people they only just got the AIRCON fixed for our last night.
- The staff were very hit and miss, a few of them were very helpful, although some of them misinformed us about day tours that we booked with them; Promising us a “luxury tour” with lunch and a speedboat but when we got there we found out this was not included in our package at all. 

Pros;
- Promising outside seating/dining area if kept maintained.
- Good location, close to the Bui Vien Walking Street.
- The male staff member was very helpful when booking our bus tickets, very friendly and spoke good English.
- The breakfast is good and you are given a free beer every evening for happy hour (7-8pm). If you don’t use your drink coupon one evening, you can use two the next night & vise-versa.

Vitamin D For Disappointing

Great hostel to stay! If you are travelling solo,want to meet people,but the most important,if you just want to relax by yourself and see Saigon don't go anywhere else,the place is perfect for you. It is located at the center,everything you need is close.The location is convenient for sightseeing as many of the sights(independence palace etc) are approachable by feet.If you want to experience nightlife,the hostel is 7 minutes from the street with all the bars but stays quite during the night.Inside the hostel now, the place is happy,cheap and relaxing.They offer happy hour with beers but that doesn't mean you are forced to go and stay downstairs if you want to enjoy your beer,you can even take it and go at the roof top.Speaking about the roof top,great place to relax,chill,drink your coffee,tea or beer.It's a small place but so beautiful with all the plants & vintage furniture.At the rooftop they offer the breakfast which is included in the price,(in my opinion this is a big advantage),and you choose between a regular breakfast or vietnamese meal(even bigger advantage!!). TRY VIETNAMESE AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET! The cooking lady is amazing and so kind! All the stuff is very very kind and very helpfull,whatever you will ask for!( I even asked if it is possible to cook a vietnamese meal with the cooking lady,and they didn't say no!which was amazing) Rooms are clean,bathrooms are clean with hot water.Beds have a curtain to make them private,and the rooms also have fans and air conditioner.Of course free and fast wi-fi. If you confuse where to stay in Saigon,don't even think about it, choose Vitamin Smiles!
