As a frequent traveler to Ho Chi Minh city, I stayed in Meander for 2 days so I could enjoy the weekend in district 1. The hostel price range for the deluxe room is the same like the popular hotel branch that I usually stayed in, but Meander attention to details are not as good; First, they put the living space and kitchen on the same floor with the reception desk. So, it would often be crowded and have strong smell from the kitchen. Second, they don't put a latch on the door, which makes it not safe especially for solo travelers. Third, they don't have a safe deposit box in the room & don't allow self-service laundry. The location, though, is really strategic and hard to beat. But, I'd pay for the female dormitory next time!
