ゴーコー ホステル (ホーチミン)

We booked a double room,however on arrival we were given a room with 2 double beds on the very top floor,this didn’t look like the pictures but ok we thought,it’s doesnt make too much of a difference....having to carry bags up to the 6th floor though...not so good! It all went downhill from there,the only good thing about the place is the staff who are very friendly and eager to help. - Fridge didn’t work - Plug socket was loose and sparks flew from it when trying to take plug out - Showerwas way too low,had to crouch to get your head under it - the shower however causes the power to short circuit...so someone has to stand by the breaker to turn it back on every few minutes - luckily we did have 2 beds as one bed was unusable,there was nothing but a sliver of material between the bed and the metal of the mattress,could actually hook my finger under the metal work - Blankets provided were a bit weird - Aircon was very weak so room was always a bit warm - WiFi Was pretty poor - All the toilet amenities inc toilet paper left outside the room, not so big a problem,apart from the first time you use the toilet! - Noise from the street - Breakfast was a choice of burger,Banh mi or sandwich,the banh mi’s were the worst I had in 4 weeks in Vietnam,the coffee was packet mix 3in1 and disgusting - Burning mosquito coils outside all the rooms meant the room smelt of smoke - Toilet seat had a crack that nipped your bum when you sat on it,literally a pain in the ass!

the bed was extremely uncomfortable, hard as wood. although the stuff is friendly, is well located only 10min walking to the beach. the breakfast was really good (pancake).

The hostel is great for a budget traveller or a couple looking for a cheaper stay. I found the hostel walking distance to most attractions and if not uber is super cheap. The roof top had greats views. The hostel provided free beers. The staff were amazing and talkative. The bed in the private room we stayed was hard but not worst than what you'll find in Asia. The aircon was strong and always worked! Our room was on the first floor and you couldn't hear much street noise which was great. The only down side was the bathroom. It smelled at times as there was two openings in the brickwork for ventilation. Which kept the shower from fogging up the room but also let in some funky smells from the back alley at times. Maybe the higher rooms didn't get this as the other reviews seems very positive. That being said I would happily stay here again.

The room was very nice and clean but it's about a 10-15min walk to the backpackers street.

Good stay. Nice staff. Gets really hot in the dorm during the day and the top bunk is really awkward to climb up and down. Overall nice and would stay again. Its also a very short walk to the backpacker street, but not directly in it. So quieter than many others Ive stayed at.
