Mai Ngoi Hostel

Unclaimed

This is an incredible hostel. If you are looking for a real experience…a local experience….this is your place. The owner is very kind and accommodating. She has hired a mixed staff to cater to the different foreigners that stay at the hostel. Phúc, one of the employees and he is the most helpful person. My reservation was booked incorrectly and he made sure I was able to have a bed to sleep in at the last minute. Please come to this place if you want to get the best of the city without feeling overwhelmed.

I had a delightful stay at your hostel, and I wanted to share my positive experience. The rooms were impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, providing a welcoming environment. The fully equipped kitchen was a standout feature, allowing for added convenience during my stay. A special mention goes to your outstanding staff members, Phuc and Duc. Their dedication and attentiveness truly set a high standard for hospitality. They were always available, making me feel well-cared for. Additionally, I must commend the owner for her kindness towards all guests. It's evident that the welcoming atmosphere is fostered from the top down. I wholeheartedly recommend your hostel to others seeking a comfortable and friendly accommodation experience.

No hostel is perfect, always remember this. For one thing outstanding, another hangs in shame. Yet, to give this place, with this price, anything less, would be a disservice to hostel’s everywhere. The beds excel, drift off in luxury with two pillows, in a perfectly chilled room. The kitchen, free rein to keep your wallet healthy. No hostel is perfect, therefore we come to the inevitable bad - unsanitary washrooms paired with no hot water. You’ll only find hand soap in the kitchen, make of this what you will. Despite, this is a phenomenal budget hostel, just don’t forget your hand soap!

Overall, it was a very good hostel. I was in the female dorm and then also in the mixed dorm. The rooms are pretty clean, yo have a small locker for the backpack and a big locker for the mochila. A towel is provided. A breakfast is included in the price (100k for mixed, 130k for female dorm) and served from 7:00-9:00am. I haven't tried the breakfast, but it looked good. The service is very good as well they are very nice. The 2 disadvantages are that: 1. There is only 1 toilet&bath for the female dorm (10 girls), and 1 toilet&bath for the mixed dorm (6 people). 2. They are not very available on whatsapp, so it's better to call them if it's urgent. Other than that I think it's a very good hostel for this price. The location is a little far from the center, but you have grab and buses very often.
