A lovely stay.
We stayed for 5 nights, and though it was near a loud street that did not bother us. We had a noisy room, but Lilh offered to swap us to a quite room on the other side free of charge. We continued with the original room because we are heavy sleepers and it did not bother us. Lilh was extremely helpful and often responded on WhatsApp within 1 minute. She even called our tour company when they were running late and offered to print our visa's. She offered to help us book buses and tours, but we had already arranged this the night before. A lovely stay

Great location, staff, cleanliness. Great Hostel
Probably the best hostel I have every stayed at. We stayed 5 days without any issues. My wife and I had a private room with private bath (asian shower, western toilet). Good Wifi. (seperate wifi for each floor) Super clean in the room and throughout the hostel. Bed was Asian Firm (hard) and pretty big. I like softer but that is a preference. I really enjoyed the breakfast as a Vegan, but all diets had options. Good prices for water, drinks, snacks and beer (very close to the prices at the connivence stores and drinks were always cold) . Location was 20 meters from the walking street (party area), but somehow, tucked in the ally, it was really quite at the hostel. Lily and staff are so nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

Tucked away and quiet!
VERY QUIET!!! Orginally I was afraid Bc I pulled up and it was full on weekend party mode on the Main Street- loud music and bats. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was. Staff was so friendly and nice and helpful and the breakfast was great!

The property was very clean. It was obviously newly renovated, new paint, new walls, new floors. Staff were nice. Breakfast was ok. wifi was fine. The employee took me to the bus stop on her motorbike.

Nice Hotel, Can be a little noisy
This hostel is located just off what they call the walking street. So the location is really nice, and it is only about 10-minute walk to most of the HCMC central sites. The hostel was very clean, and the staff was really helpful. I think the only minor downside is that it can be a little noisy even though you are off the main drag. It wasn't a major issue though.

Great Staff
Great, friendly hotel down quietish alley way off the backpacker main drag. We are in the 40-50 age bracket, and if we came back to HCMC probably wouldn't stay in this area again. Very loud, busy, touristy and currently most of the pavements are being dug up. But this is no reflection on our stay at Lily's. the staff were so lovely and kind, the breakfast was great and our room very clean. Beware the staircase is a bit tricky though - steep and twisty! Would recommend.

Functional budget accommodation
Hostel has minimalistic decor and is conveniently located in a quiet street off the backpacker area. But it feels relatively old and not as comfortable as some of the similarly priced hotels in the area. Lighting is pretty dim.

Great central backpacker stay!
We stayed in Bed Station, just across from Lily's with same owner. It was newly remodeled and our room was a loft and large like King bed on lower level. It was perfect for my granddaughter and I, giving us each a little privacy, good shower, though small bathroom/efficient. Great for meeting 20yearolds travelers/fit her well! Staff on the spot/airport transfer effortless and inexpensive, good breakfast! Big plus was quiet alley and great restaurants nearby

staying here had me in tears. AVOID THIS ONE!!!
Please do not stay here. After a 36 hour train ride I was looking forward to our private room we booked here. When we arrived they notified us that they cancelled our booking and did not have a private room available for us anymore. The front desk agent offered to put us next door in their corresponding hostel dorm. there was a miscommunication that we wouldn't have to pay for the night (our understanding) and that they would move us to the private room the next day. Exhausted, we agreed. The next day to our surprise they were asking us to pay for the dorm. After arguing for a little we asked to speak to the manager or owner. She refused to talk to us. To make matters worse, the front desk agent was going to have to pay for our room if we didn't. Long story short, we ended paying for the room (the front desk agent Told us he would slowly send us our money back when he could afford to which we promptly denied... the owner should be out of pocket not this poor man). Slightly annoyed by the situation we went back to our room. The private room itself was dingy (the dorm was actually nicer). And no wifi! The wifi did not work at all. They also did our laundry and ruined my favourite white shirt. There were brown stains all over it. Again, the manager/owner wouldn't talk to me. I had to go hunt her down. When I found her she was rude and unapologetic. She started yelling at me in Vietnamese. I have never been treated so awful... I went back to the room and cried. Stay away!!!!
