The staff were amazing!! We really couldn’t of asked for anything more, we arrived late (early hours in the morning), and the key was left on the desk for us to let ourselves into our room. We were given the choice of which room we’d like to stay in too. Breakfast was amazing, we were even treated to extra fruit! We were helped out with booking a boat tour, and the owner even got us some dinner before we caught our night bus, as we were going to be short on time to have a shower and get food after our tour. We cannot recommend this hostel enough in Halong!

    Nice hostel in a great location. I booked it for the swimming pool but it was closed after 9 pm. So if you're late checking in you might consider other options. But the room, the breakfast and all other staff was quite good. The administrator helped me a lot, he was very friendly and kind.

    Such a good hostel! Nice common room, staff were lovely and food / drink was really nice for the price. We booked the Ha Giang Loop through this hostel and it was AMAZING!! Sleeper bus to Ha Giang from Ha Long was included in the price. The company they use for the Ha Giang Loop is Safari Hostel and we would recommend this to anyone! The best trip we’ve had so far in SE Asia. The price for the Ha Giang Loop here is way cheaper than Jasmine, Mama’s etc and is way more enjoyable due to smaller groups.

    Great location. Although not so close to the beach - it is still within some walking distance but the neighbourhood is quiet, safe, short distance to restaurants and the cable car. Due to the low season our room was upgraded to a better view - full sea view (and the cable car). The hotel is new, tidy, staff are helpful. Breakfast is not super great to our taste, but you won't go away hungry, even got pho in the menu. Some nice coffee shops are also around.

    The staff could not have been more helpful. The food was consistently good and cheap also. Beds comfy and big locker with a good atmosphere in the common area. Honestly the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. When I’m back in Ha Long I will 100% stay here again.
