GETTING THERE

Many of the tourist buses coming from Hanoi or Hoi An drop off within 1Km of the hostel and the train station is only 2Km away. If you are traveling by any bus booked by one of our hostels, one of our staff in a Vietnam Backpacker Hostels uniform and a sign will meet you and help you get to our hostel.

Please be aware of anyone on a motorbike saying they work for us, as they may try and charge you a large fee to get you to the hostel.

A local metered taxi from any of the bus stop drop offs should cost no more than 40,000VND, whilst a taxi from the station costs around 50,000VND. When you exit the station head to the car park entrance where you can find a Mai Linh taxi (metered taxis that should not try to rip you off and are easy to see as they are bright green).

Phu Bai domestic airport is around 25 minutes by car. A local metered taxi to the airport is around $25 USD. These are available from the arrival terminal. We can help to organize a hassle free airport transfer from as little as $17 USD for a 4 seat car OR $19 USD for a larger 7 seat private car. We can help to organize a driver to meet you when you arrive at the airport if you book below or under the tab “more”.

Be aware that some taxi drivers operating at airports, train stations and bus stations may be accepting commissions from other hostels claiming to work with us.

Our hostel is the only charcoal grey building in town, so if the shuttle or taxi stops outside a hostel that is not this colour you have been taken to the wrong address. If you find yourself in this situation decline politely and make your way to the DMZ bar on the corner of Pham Ngu Lao and Le Loi Streets where you cannot miss our building on Pham Ngu Lao.
