9 Hostel and Bar

There was lots of hair found under the blanket. My body feels very itchy after laying down for awhile (After Shower) You can peep through the door cracks. Requested to change the blanket / bedsheet. Staff told me to go out while they will help to change. Came back and it's still the same condition. Rooftop is closed at night. There's plenty of space to hang out. No escalator. Goodluck if you staying at the top floors.

WARNING: ROBBERS AT THIS HOTEL! My experience at this hostel was a nigh**are. Not only was I robbed of €150 from my suitcase during room cleaning, but the receptionist's poor english made it impossible to effectively communicate my concerns. When I tried to address the theft, the staff dismissed my complaint, insinuating that previous guests had lost their money elsewhere. In addition to this, despite booking a deluxe room with a deposit safe, I was assigned a substandard room with malfunctioning air conditioning that leaked water. After requesting a room change, I was offered a deluxe room, conveniently without a deposit safe as advertised. Coincidence? I think not. To make matters worse, the hostel's appearance in the photographs does not reflect reality. The establishment is worn-out, neglected, and unclean. Overall, the lack of security measures, coupled with unprofessional staff and false advertising, make this hostel an absolute disappoin**ent for any traveler!!! BE CAREFUL!

I had a wonderful stay at 9 Hostel and Bar, Ho Chi Minh City. The staff was super friendly and I really liked the a**osphere in the lobby. The hostel is located perfectly in the middle of District 1. Couldn't be better!....................:)

12 people forced to evacuate our dorm due to a disgusting bed bug infestation. Staff were aware of the infestation the day before and did not inform any of the guests. When we found out (from other guests, not the staff) it was 11:30pm so there was almost no time to book a new place for that night. We were not offered any solutions other than to ‘sleep in the beds with the bugs’ or leave and find somewhere else to sleep ourselves. The manager sent her boyfriend over when we wished to speak with her, and the boyfriend was hopeless. He did not work there so had no authority to offer us any refunds/ solutions. Not been refunded nor reimbursed for the other hostel. Staff did not seem to take an infestation like this seriously. My boyfriend and I covered in bites. We have had to wash all of our clothes but not convinced we are rid of them since we are backpackers and they could be in our bags too. Avoid!!!

Rooms were as pictured. We booked two of the room with 2 double beds in and had a double each per room for our family of 4. 4 in the one room would have been very cramped as there was little space other than mattresses and somewhere to walk. These rooms were on the 6th floor and there is no lift – be warned! Air con worked well. Shower didn’t get very warm. Staff were friendly and spoke English. Bar was cheap. Good location.

Super stylish hotel in the center of Ho Chi Minh, prices are very reasonable and the staff is nice and helpful ! Rooms are small but very functional and a lot of visits are either walking distance or a short taxi ride away :) would highly recommend !

This hostel is the best one in District 1 with all basic amenities and easy to walk through markets and eating joints. Clean dormitory and neat washrooms. Have a nice cafe at the entrance with good seating and drinking variety. Surely a recommended hostel for solo travellers.
