Facilities
Wifi quality here changed it seemed by the hour. If you need to process payments etc, I would recommend trying near the reception. The wifi near the pool is okay and the bar is sometimes really good but sometimes poor.
Security is non-existent. You don't need keys to get in to the hostel and the dorms are not locked either. There also have lockers that you need your own lock for. They do have a security guard at night but I don't really know what he does. I never felt unsafe here though and did not have an issue with theft etc.
The swimming pool at this hostel really made it what it was. It was an infinity pool with an abundance of sun loungers. This is so good especially because the beach nearby is not the greatest at all.
They had a bar and restaurant at the hostel also which was reasonably priced. They had two sets of happy hours where cocktails and certain spirits were 241.
Showers and Toilets
We were not in an ensuite here but the toilets and showers were clean and although there was not loads, you never had to wait. The showers themselves heated up quickly and the pressure was decent.
Staff
Staff here are hit and miss. The younger women on reception are often rude and unhelpful. There is also a slight language barrier, so the organisation of buses etc is not always easy. There was an older woman who was at reception once whilst I was there and she was really helpful and welcoming. The bar staff are also really efficient and friendly.
Breakfast
Breakfast was not included at this hostel. They did offer a range of breakfasts for 30dong, however we did not try them instead opting for banana bread from a shop down the road.
Value for Money
For what you get, this hostel is value for money just don't necessarily think you will be getting service with a smile.
Dorms
For once, the dorms did not have bunk beds which was a nice change. They also had a plug and an individual light. The dorm itself was big with plenty of space for bags etc. The dorms had lockers which you needed your own lock for, I personally prefer this because then you don't have to look after a key. The one bad thing about this room is that it was always freezing- I slept in a hooded jacket every night.
Location
Mui Ne is just one large street so it's hard for a hostel to be in a bad location. Plus the buses that we got, dropped us off and picked us up from our hostel.
OVERALL, I would recommend staying here just be aware that the reception girls are not reflective of all the staff.
