Boasting a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.2 km from Cat Co 2 Beach, less than 1 km from Cannon Fort and a 13-minute walk from Ben Beo Harbour. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk. The AC in the room was set at a perfect temperature, beds were all really comfortable. Having a separate toilet/shower area was great. The free vegan pho for breakfast was amazing. The best part about this hostel is how social it is but not too loud that you can’t sleep after hours. The pool area was a great hangout spot, the activities organised at the hostel were fun to be a part of. Hostel is within walking distance of the beach and many restaurants. They also offer tours and can book transport for you. Dog onsite stole my heart!
