Min Hostel

The staff are the loveliest people who make you feel welcomed and always willing to help you out. They handled our requests so well. Breakfast and family dinner were great. The owner is a strong pretty girl ! The garden is super cozy and social

Nestled away on a island across a small foot / scooter bridge is min Hostel. Surrounded by friendly locals, small narrow streets with no room for cars and a picture perfect hang out area between a pond and the river/canal. 

Staff are amazing. They all try to speak English, happy to help and tell you about Nha Trang. Both girls who are the main point of contact speak great English and are very helpful. They helped us book bus tickets, motorbike rental and let us borrow bicycles.

The location is perfect. It’s out of the tourist Russian streets and in with the locals. They have a good clientele being friendly easygoing travellers. They are 5 minute walk to the Hindu temple. 5 minutes to beach. 2 minutes to an awesome local cheap restaurant and good location to rent a motorbike n go to the waterfalls. We also used the free bicycles to ride an easy 20 minutes to mud baths which they give u a discount voucher for. Exploring the narrow streets around was also great. And easy to get to bus stop to take local bus to ferry and get to tourist islands. 

They have a big open area next to a pond where you have you free breakfast which you can choose from 5 options. Vietnamese, western or Chinese style. 

Dorm rooms or private triangle shaped solid tents are available. Nice hot showers in typical Asian style above toilet.

I’d stay again. Favourite part of town. 

Staying at Min Hostel was a great experience! The breakfast is above-average. It is maybe a bit hard to find bit they have a free pick up service from the bus station. The rooms are clean and modern and the sitting area outside is nicely done.

This hostel was a great value for the money.  A bed and breakfast for just $4 is hard to beat.  We loved the family dinner for just $3 each— there was ample food and fun conversations.  We met other travelers and had a couple drinks at happy hour where a cocktail was less than $1.50.  We were also able to check out in the afternoon after we snorkeled.  We booked the snorkeling through the hostel.  It was $16 and a great experience with lunch and water included.

Great Hostel

I can't really leave a review of the property - although I can say that it looked nice from the outside. I had booked to stay here for one night and had no problems arranging the booking around a week in advance. I arrived at the property pretty early after an overnight train to find the gates chained. I tried the doorbell a few times but got no answer. After calling the property a few times someone finally answered, only to tell me that my booking had been cancelled and was I not aware... They had emailed me at 6:30 the previous evening to tell me that they could not accommodate me due to renovations. As I was travelling I had no access to my emails, something I imagine applies to most travellers staying with them. On the phone they were less than helpful and were pretty rude. They told me they would come try to sort something out, I waited in the boiling heat for around 20 minutes for them to call back - they never did. I stayed in a very nice hotel on the beach front that I would recommend people look up rather than this.

Cancelled last minute

Booked a private room for 4 nights at Min and really liked the property and manager upon arrival. 

Unfortunately, the next day during breakfast someone (likely staff) went into our locked room and took money (1 Million VND) out of my girlfriend and I's wallet. Some money was left in our wallets hoping we would not notice however we had counted the money in our wallets the night before. Additionally, they re-locked the room as we had to unlock it again after breakfast (really hoping we would not notice it seems)

The lock on the door of the private room is hardly a lock and can also be opened by someone pushing on the bottom of the door and reaching their fingers through to lift up the latch on the other door allowing both to push open easily. I showed the staff this after I figured it out in about 2 minutes and they didn't really comment on it, saying at one point it would be too loud and someone could hear. 

They have 2 cameras on site however there are none in the house or close to the entrance of the room, only focusing on the outside gate and steps, we were told no one entered. We were among the only guests staying there at the time as well.

We informed the staff upon our finding out and ensuring we had not made a mistake however the only one who communicated with us believed that we had lost the money ourselves or miscalculated what was in our wallets, unfortunately the only bills taken was a 500,000 VND from each of our wallets. We later found out that one of the staff's husband was a police officer which essentially ensures all staff immunity to any possible repercussions. 

We had already decided we were going to check out early after being stolen from and were charged for the night we stayed which I understand is common practice in Southeast Asia although many places would offer you some form of a discount, not a big deal.

I would like to close by saying that I have no interest in slandering any business and am  posting this as a warning to other travelers. If you are going to stay here, just make sure you keep your money with you at all times, regardless of whether or not your room is locked.
