Stayed in a private room, it was bigger than expected and much nicer than a dorm, with toiletries and a fridge/kettle included. Best nights sleep on my 2 week trip round Cambodia and vietnam. There were 2 windows high on the wall into the corridor, which seemed weird as they were open when I got into the room so I could hear everyone in the hallway, they should have blinds etc ideally to stop the light coming in overnight. We also didn't know the main entrance woukd be closed and shuttered up at a certain time, or how to get in when we came back to find this. A bit more info at check in woukd have been good.

It's handy to go everywhere in Disrict 1. The hostel is located in a narrow lane. There is a local market just outside the lane. It's very dirty. Room's size is around 70 sq. ft. only! I would not say it's comfortable. The staffs of the kitchen providing the breakfast are not friendly and their English is very limited. The portion of the breakfast is too small.

Lovely staff, clean comfortable room
We spent 8 nights here in February 2018. Upon arrival we were given free juice! The room as very clean and comfortably equipped with two reading chairs, two bedside tables, a mini fridge, a kettle, bathroom supplies, and a wardrobe. We found out the next night they have a happy hour where guests get a free Saigon green from 6-8pm. The included breakfast had lots of choices revolving ariund baguette, eggs, and noodles. It ran from 6:30-9:30, but they were sometimes out of noodles if we got there after 9. They helped us get info about tours and transport to our next city. We used the laundry service and were pleased. We brought it down before noon and it was ready that evening. The only downside of the whole place was that our room was right next to the stairs on the first floor and sound travelled from the lobby very easily. If you are sensitive to noise, request a room on the second floor or above (there is an elevator if that's a concern).

Comfortable and Clean Basic Hostel
Everything is good. No complains. It is a simple basic hotel and value for your money, clean rooms and lobby. Staff is ever helpful, humble and friendly. We stayed in the private room with queen bed, attached toilet. The hostel is situated at the end of Pham Nga Lu road, with landmark, local market, Cho Thai Binh and a roundabout. Use this as a guide for your to search the hostel. It is at the alley of the market, after the stretch of shops along Pham Nga Lu road. Go to the market in the morning to have breakfast, a variety of local street food selection is available. Do try out the Caramel Creme Flan in the market. Refreshing. You can also buy fresh local fruits in the market. The hotel is also situated slightly further from the center point of attraction, Ben Thanh Market. This should not set you back, as you only need to walk about 15mins along the happening Pham Nga Lu road and the garden to the Ben Thanh. There is also a local supermarket chain, approx 15 mins walk to Co.opmart Chon Quynh, and option for cheaper selection and that is also where the local shop for their daily needs. Take the hostel taxt to the airport, price at USD 10. Recommended and will stay here again.

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, clean rooms.
Clean, friendly hostel in a good location. Really helpful staff who give great recommendations for the area and are available and on hand to help. Secure safe space to store valuables in lockers, and good size dorm rooms so it doesn't feel overcrowded. The 'free beer between 5-7pm' is a great time to meet other travellers and has a lovely vibe, slightly quieter than the nearby party hostels meaning you get a good nights sleep! Would recommend and would return back if ever in Ho Chi Minh again!

Budget option that delivers solid basic comfort
Phan Anh is a budget option in HCMC that delivers everything you could reasonable expect for the price, and more. The place is hard to find, down an alley at the far end of the backpackers zone in District 1. Once in the hotel, the staff are friendly, the room was clean, the breakfast is very high quality and made to order, and the location is convenient. Its a no frills kind of place, but there are literally thousands of backpacker hostels within 1 kilometer, and I doubt any of them could do a better job at the basics than the Phan Anh did. Used their car service to return to airport, costs $10, right on time and excellent service and value. Recommended
