Quoc Cuong 1 Hotel

In all my hostel stays, this has been the worst. My bed was crawling with ants and other insects. People seemed to live in the rooms, eating, talking at every hour, and playing video games. The bathrooms were filthy and smelled strongly of urine. The shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Clothes and shoes were left everywhere, with some sitting in the public toilet for days. Other backpackers I met felt the same. This place is awful. 💩🤮👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

At least the location was good. The dorm itself was okay, though not great, and mine was on the 9th floor. The room was fine, but the bathroom and shared area got bad quickly. Some long-term residents used those spaces, and cleanliness and rules became a problem. I stepped out of the elevator and found someone smoking right there. Clothes were hung throughout the bathroom as if it were their private space. The cleaning staff did a good job in the morning, but within an hour of people getting up, both spaces were dirty again. The pool was under construction and never open.

The staff are friendly, and the rooms are affordable. The location is good too. There’s a nice pool with a good view, hot water in the shower, and they provide free water and instant coffee. Laundry service costs 30vnd/1kg.

This was the worst hostel I've stayed in in Vietnam. The place was very dirty, the bathrooms were filthy and seemed not to have been cleaned in ages, and the rooms smelled awful. It felt like locals lived there. I left as quickly as I could. I'd paid for two nights in advance because it's close to the city, but I only stayed one night and didn't care about losing the money.
