Journey 

The journey to Nha Trang is quite simple. We were picked up by a taxi and taken to the bus 'station'. We were travelling this time with Viet Nat. From here we were on a sitting bus. I personally prefer sleeper buses because there is much more room. On a sitting, if someone leans their chair back you actually cannot move. You stop in quite a decent place for food and with decent toilets. So if you haven't brought food it's not the end of the world. When we arrived,we actually walked to the hostel. Nha Trang is not the largest of cities- it's more like a large town. 

Beach 

We spent every day here. It's quite a nice beach and there's plenty of stalls and activities if you so wish for them. It was really busy on the days that's we went because of Reunification Day. Reunification Day is the celebration of, as the Spice Girls would say, two becoming one aka when Vietnam because one country again rather then the previous split of North and South. There were lots of families and celebrations going on which made the atmosphere so lively. 

Street Markets 

We ate at street markets every night. I am not going to lie, I have been living of noodles and rice since being in Asia and I am starting to get a little bored. So we treated ourselves to a beef steak dish which had a lovely rich sauce that was served with an egg and a baguette. It sounds like an odd combination but it was really nice. Plus it cost just over a pound!

We also divulged in a baguette from one of the stalls for lunch. There are stalls everywhere and you can get a baguette with everything on for 20 dong which is less than a pound. I would not be able to tell you what everything consists of but it tasted damn good! 

Nha Trang does not always have the best reputation amongst travellers but I really enjoyed my time here. Furthermore, it was really nice to have a few chilled days after Canyoning!

Nha Trang Hostel Review

HQ CAFE

Facilities

The wifi is pretty good here. There are different modems for each level so it's pretty strong for payments and bookings-perfect. 

You don't need a key to get in to the initial building but you do need a key to get on to your floor. They provide lockers with a key for you to out your valuables in. 

There is not a great deal of communal space but there is a common area for your floor. This has a television, sofa and free water. 

Showers and Toilets 

There are two showers and toilets on each floor. The showers themselves have a good pressure and heat but sometimes due to the plumbing smell a bit off. 

Staff 

Staff here are friendly and helpful. They managed to book our bus for us and gave us help and directions without us even having to ask. They also give you a map when you book in which is good and useful although a smart bit of advertising for themselves. 

Breakfast 

For breakfast you have the choice of fruit and yogurt, toast and a banana or noodles and a banana with tea or coffee. The fruit was nice but the portion was quite small. Whereas the noodles, which on the picture look really nice actually are instant noodles. Not that there is anything wrong with instant noodles but when you think you are getting something else it's disappointing. 

Value for Money 

The room was around £6 per night. The free breakfast and water was a great point of this hostel although many were unaware of the deal so would buy water themselves. 

Dorms 

The dorms were big. However, the beds were not that comfortable, personally they were too soft. There is also a plug beside most beds and there are two ACs in the room. 

Location 

It's a two minute walk from the beach-what more do you need!?

OVERALL, this hostel was decent and makes a great place to stay in Nha Trang. It's not the most social of hostels but it is still nice.
