The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
The concept of Village Hostel Nha Trang is to bring the Vietnamese countyside feel to the big city and let people relax in a natural environment even amongst the skyscapers that are so characteristic of Nha Trang. Therefore, most of the furniture is made of natural materials, especially bamboo. This makes a place a pleasant and refreshing choice amongst all the modern hostels of this South Vietnamese beach city.
The Location
Most backpackers are located in the center of Nha Trang, only about five hundred metres from one another, so even though the location is great, it does not make it any more special than other hostels. Village Hostel is situated on a quiet side street though, where you will always find some street vendors offering amazing and cheap food. The beach is only about ten minutes from here on foot and there are plenty of souvenir shops, restaurants, and supermarkets around as well.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel offers dorm and private rooms alike. The dorms are located on the second floor of the building and they are great! They have capsule type beds -- you get a massive space all to yourself and you can easily cut the outside world off thanks to the thick curtains at the end of your bed. The capsules are equipped with electronic plugs and reading lamps and there is plenty of space to store your luggage as well. The rooms are cooled by air conditioning, which makes the temperature really pleasant. The bathrooms are shared amongst the rooms. The toilet and shower are separate and they also reflect the main style of the hostel. They are clean and comfy, even if a few more toilets could be an advantage.
Common Spaces
The main area for socialisation is the bottom floor where the reception is also located. There is a nice set of wooden garden furniture in front of the hostel, while inside you will find comfy couches and other types of seats as well as board games and a water dispenser that is available for you to use.
Summary
The pleasant countryside style of Village Hostel definitely sets it apart from the rest of the hostels in Nha Trang. You will love the chilled vibe here and the amount of green around you in the middle of the city!
