Khoi Hostel Reviews

Don't hesitate to book a dorm bed at Khoi Hostel! Backpackers more interested in their traveling, daytime cultural experiences, and getting a good night sleep opt for this spot. It's a bit of an oasis from the hectic roads just one hundred metres away.

The Location

The calm and low-key Khoi Hostel is positioned down a narrow lane (full of hostels) opposite the bus station. Everything is extremely close and very convenient for backpackers. Being located here does feel like a smart choice. Instead of having to suffer the deafening music of neighbouring streets until nearly dawn, in general nights are quiet.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorms are very spacious, even with the large, free-standing lockers inside the rooms. Keys are provided. The extra elbow room in the dorms is a big bonus and helps give an airy feeling, which is wonderfully refreshing. Mattresses are firm but not uncomfortable. There are tiny reading lights for a change and two charging sockets. It's just a pity the bunks are not fitted with privacy curtains. Useful mirrors and shelving are nice extras. There are even stylish balconies. The air conditioning works well and Wi-Fi is strong on all four floors of the hostel.

Showers and toilets are separate and functional. Too bad the free shampoo and shower gel appears to be a thing of the past. There are complimentary toothbrushes, mini soaps, and soft toilet tissue. Backpackers could not ask for much more.

Common Spaces

A conventional common room in a Southeast Asian hostel is more rare than finding hens' teeth. Khoi Hostel offers the more typical few chairs and tables in the lobby/breakfast area on the ground floor. Details of tours, day trips, long-distance buses, and bicycle/motor bike rentals are on view. There is also a small terrace, at the front of the building with a few stools. No rooftop terrace is available.

Staff appear a little reserved, but are genuinely pleasant and helpful. Cold drinks are for sale from the large fridge and other varied drinks listed on a menu at the tiny, almost-invisible bar. A generous breakfast menu is offered each morning and is included in the inexpensive cost of a dorm bed.

Summary

If the atmosphere here is too quiet for some, no worries. Literally three metres across the narrow lane is the front terrace of another hostel. A few more metres down the lane and it is a similar story. There are nine hostels almost in a row! For sure a conversation in Spanish, French, German, or English will be taking place among travelers -- feel free to join in. You shouldn't miss this one.
