I have been in many backpackers hostels in europe and vietnam and this one is the worse. the women's bathroom was dirty and the air conditioning motors of the top floor are inside the hostel. the noise was unbearable even with earplugs. i managed to spleep only 2 hours. it s a pity because the location is great
