A true backpacker’s hostel owned & operated by an Aussie.

Living in Vietnam for over 6 years, I saw what was missing for my fellow backpacker buddies, so I threw on my cape and created a hostel like no other.

We've got you covered in style with a billiards room, movie room with plasma and surround sound, all day cafe, 24 hour reception, gift shop, free bicycles, free internet, free linen, airport pick up service, plenty of tour options and heaps more!

Our movie room is a great place to relax, enjoy a film, surf the net and meet new friends, let’s not forget the huge 50 inch widescreen plasma TV with surround sound provides an excellent movie experience with a wide range of movies available for free.

A book exchange, free wi-fi throughout and free internet terminals. A wide range of card and board games to use and of course plenty soft snuggly couches and bean bags.

Take up the challenge on the pool table with weekly competitions and great tunes to keep those feet tapping. Heaps of drink specials and events going on weekly.

Our cafe - pulp kitchen will have your taste buds at ease with tasty and cheap western favourites all day every day. Pastas, burgers, salads and sandwiches and heaps more.

Your free breakfast is the regular toast, fruit, tea and coffee deal, but proper big breakfasts and bacon and eggs are hard to pass up! Pulp kitchen is open all day from 6.30am till 10pm.

Any tour we've got you covered. Ask our staff about our specialized tours which will give you an experience like no other.
