Hoi An Hostel Review

HIDEOUT HOSTEL AND BAR

Facilities

When we first arrived, the wifi was really good everywhere. However, by the second day we could no longer get a connection in the rooms and it would take longer to connect outside. 

You are provided with lockers in your room but honestly anyone wandering in from off the street could easily get in to your rooms. I never heard of any incidences but I would keep your valuables locked away to be safe. 

The pool was not great here and lost sunlight by about 2 'o clock but it was refreshing all the same. There are also bean bags dotted around the place to keep comfortable whilst you are enjoying the sun. 

There is a social area near the bar and reception which gets lively at night. Furthermore, there is an upstairs room with a view which also has a television in it. They don't really advertise this as well as they could. There is also a pool table next to the kitchen. 

There is always something going on at night at this hostel and with the free beer between 7-8 and various drinks deals, there is normally always someone around the bar. 

Showers and Toilets 

The showers provided have good pressure and heat. You never have to wait for the shower but you may have to for the toilet. The facilities are cleaned regularly, no complaints here!

Staff 

The staff here are good, it's ran by a mixture of Western and Vietnamese people. Some of the housekeepers don't believe in service with a smile but it's nothing personal. They help with trips and buses although they were quite expensive.

Breakfast 

You have the choice between an omelette, fried or scrambled egg, with a baguette, sliced tomato and a hash brown. Although, the hash brown is not a hash brown more a criss cross potato fritter. The breakfast quality can differ from day to day. Not to say it was not nice, more that it was just not always at the same great quality we experienced on the first day we were there. 

Dorms 

I was in the riverside room which is a 10 bed. The nicer of the 10 beds I think. The only issue is the wifi is not always great and the beds are quite high. There is air on but its on a timer so even if you want to sleep in...you are going to overheat. 

Value for Money 

All the hostels in Hoi Ann are slightly more expensive...I mean not overly but in comparison to other places. For what you get I would say it's a decent price. 

Location

I think this is a great location; not too far away from the old town, the bars, the tailor shops, restaurants etc. it's far from the beach but if you really want to go just hire bikes; push or motorised.

OVERALL, I would really recommend staying here, I had a great time. This place gets booked up quick so book before you arrive and think about how long you want to stay because we saw several people turned away.
