When the bar closes, you can always go to one of the clubs nearby and dance the night away.
6. Mui Ne Hills Backpackers
This hostel is located just 300 meters off the main road and just a very short walk to the beach in Mui Ne. Relax on the white sand beaches, try kitesurfing and go for a swim before you go back to the hostel. Because most people who check in here tend to stay at the hostel. The reason? Because it has everything! You have a big pool, free ping pong table, beer pong and flip cup competitions every day, free billiard tables and just a lively atmosphere which makes you not want to leave the hostel. If you’re hungry, the hostel also has a restaurant which serves both Asian and Western food. The best thing? It’s also one of the cheapest hostels in Vietnam and costs a little more than 2 USD for a room in a dorm. Sounds pretty epic, right?
7. Flipside Hostel Saigon
This Kiwi owned hostel has been operating for over 14 years and is one of the most successful hostels in Vietnam’s biggest city, Ho Chi Minh City. You can chill at the bar, swim in the rooftop pool, party (of course) and join the pub crawls which they arrange almost every day. Ho Chi Minh City is slightly chaotic, but in the best sense, and you’ll find that the same goes for the parties. You won’t be bored here, that’s for sure.
