Hot room
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

We expected a social hostel given the location and how buzzing Tam Coc was, but when we arrived (which admittedly was a bit late ~11pm due to our bus) we were greeted by a hostel in darkness with no lights on and an empty reception desk. There was a whatsapp number to message to alert the receptionist. Before paying for our stay we asked to see the dorm room and were questioned why. Turns out the dorm room was quite cramped and the aircon didn't work, resulting in a very hot room even at that time of night. Pool didn't look very clean either. We decided not to stay here and to go elsewhere based on these factors.

L’emplacement

Le lit ou la table de billard sur laquelle j’ai dormi, la piscine où on ne peut pas se baigner car pas entretenue, wifi qui ne marche pas depuis la chambre

Cons:

הגעתי וישר הבנתי שהמקום שבור. נכנסתי לשים את התיק וישר היה בחדר ריח של רטיבות מהמזגן והרצפה הייתה מלוכלכת, כשביקשתי שינקו היא באה לנקות אבל אמרה שכולם נכנסים אין נעליים ואי אפשר לדאוג שיהיה נקי תמיד. המיטה הייתה מסריחה כאילו לא מחליפים מצעים. המקלחת הייתה בסדר למרות שלא השתמשתי הייתה נראית נקייה.
ביקשתי לבטל את הלילות שלי שם והסכימו להחזיר לי רק על לילה אחד שזה פייר, העובדת בקבלה הייתה מאוד שקועה בטלפון שלה ולא הכי מסבירה פנים.

Pros:

La ubicación es buena y el desayuno está bien por el precio.

Cons:

La recepcionista es poco amable y un tanto hostil.
Un baño es poco para la cantidad de personas en la habitación.
La escalera para acceder a la cama superior es extremadamente incómoda y la ventana no tenía cortina por lo que la luz exterior molesta cuando quieres dormir.

Pros:

The location Is very good and the breakfast Is good

Cons:

The ladies on the staff are not very kind. I rented a bike and I pay with 100k, I waited for my change and she said she gave It to me twice, when I looking for It and Say again she didn't give to me, she just take the money and gave to me as nothing, so be careful about it. The beds also were unconfortable, and the door of the 8 beds room Is very noise. The bathroom wasn't really clean.
