About
Saigon Hub Hostel
Saigon Hub Hostel sits in the middle of Pham Ngu Lao Street, Ho Chi Minh City's backpacker belt, yet is tucked down a small alley that keeps street noise at bay. It's a 5-minute walk from Ben Thanh Market and close to the bars of Bui Vien, making it an easy base for first-time visitors.
The hostel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour reception for late arrivals, laundry service, and communal spaces where guests tend to linger. Rooms range from private doubles to shared dorms, and the owners, Hà and Luke, are known for going out of their way to help.

6.4Verified guest“The location was ideal for my short stopover in HCMC – just 2.8 km from Hoa Hung station, which saved me time and money on transport. The staff were friendly and made check-in smooth, plus they gave useful local tips.”
6.4Verified guest“Right in the middle of everything, yet surprisingly quiet. The staff were lovely and always ready to help. The AC was excellent, keeping the room cool in the heat, and having power sockets by the bed was a real plus.”
6.4Verified guest“I had a great time playing darts at the hostel – total win! It's also near a nice park for a relaxed walk.”
6.4Verified guest“Stayed over a week – perfect for exploring the center and getting a feel for local life. The hostel is hidden in an alley but easy to find. Hà and Luke create a welcoming vibe and are super helpful. The renovated rooms are comfy and private, and the price can't be beaten. Bui Vien is just around the corner for nightlife. Highly recommend.”

6.4Verified guest“For what we paid, Saigon Hub was a steal. Rooms were comfy, clean, and private enough. Location was perfect – near the bar street but tucked away in a quiet alley. Staff, especially Hà and Luke, made us feel at home. And their coffee is awesome.”
