A wonderful place to stay. Such a warm welcome from Mr Ishida Yasuhiko ,the owner, and all of the staff, they did everything possible to make our stay perfect ( Zuyen needs a special mention here). The location is great, in a quiet alley, in an area of interesting back streets and alleys, where you feel you're in the real city, not just another tourist area,yet only a short walk to the centre. The rooms are clean and comfortable and have all you could need. Breakfast was great, they made special vegetarian food for us each morning, it's great to start the day without having to face the streets in search of food. We highly recommend Usagiyah, we had an excellent stay. Dave and Mandi, Nimbin, Australia

Bed was comfortable and clean

Our room was facing directly opposite another building so we didn’t feel comfortable having the curtains open whilst we were in, as people can look directly into the room. Towels were also a little bit old and rough. Everything else was nice

Friendly staff in a hostel/guesthouse in District 1 Ho Chi Minh City. Room can be cleaned on request. Nice communal space for breakfast (which they cook for you) and relaxation spaces downstairs and on the rooftop. Super cute cat who loves everyone! Lots of cafes/restaurants nearby by foot or Grab (beware of traffic)

Nice size room, very comfortable and clean room. Air conditioning worked well. Very quiet. You will get some noise from the neighbours out in the street but it didn't stop me sleeping. Walking street about 15 minutes walk away

Fellow roommates turned air conditioning off in the night

Just felt like home. The people were so warm-hearted and friendly. Room was clean and everything was comfortable. It's truly Japanese quality. If I'm in Ho-chi-minh, I'll stay in Usagiyah again

Amazing place to stay in a quiet alley but close to District 1 action. Beds were amazingly comfortable and quiet. The staff was super kind, breakfast was good. Towels are changed every day.

The staff is incredibly friendly, respectful, and reasonable. My girlfriend visited me during my stay, and they kindly allowed her to work with me in the common area. I have to be fair—they are great people and made us feel welcome. However, we had an issue with the motorcycle rental. During a ride, I hit a very bumpy road and lost control of the motorbike, resulting in an accident. Thankfully, I only had minor scratches, but the motorcycle's plastic cover was damaged. I immediately offered to pay for the repair. They took it to a Honda dealer, and the repair cost was around 1.7 million VND, as the replacement part had to be ordered and would take two weeks to arrive. One of the hostel owners then charged me an additional fee for the downtime of the motorcycle, saying it would be unavailable for rent during that period. They offered a 50% discount on this downtime fee, but I found it unreasonable. I suggested keeping the motorcycle for myself during the waiting period, but the owner later reversed this agreement, saying the bike would remain with them. After lengthy discussions, we settled on a higher amount than just the repair cost, which left me disappointed and frustrated. I want to believe that this mindset only reflects the opinion of one staff member. The rest of the team is well-trained, reasonable, and respectful, which makes the situation even more unfortunate. Ultimately, I decided to look for another place. If you run a business, you should account for the inherent risks. In a motorcycle rental business, accidents happen, and it is fair for the guest to cover the damage costs—not for the business to charge extra for their perceived risk.

The place is very nice and comfortable. On our first night, we had an issue with another guest who was neurodivergent and made some noise. The receptionist immediately addressed the situation and even offered a refund to resolve the problem. This proactive approach convinced me to stay longer. Everything else was excellent, and it even encouraged me to try more of their services, like motorcycle rentals.

Excellent. Staff were great. Breakfast a variety of food to chose from. Clean, hot water & wifi. A fresh towel every day. Lots of restaurants nearby. I will return to this hostel in the ear future

Not a bad thing but it is located in a small valley. I was personally very fine with it

The bed was very comfortable, and the room was spacious. A foldable table next to the bed was a convenient addition for placing items. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious! There are plenty of restaurants, spas, and nail salons nearby.

The hostel's location rating may be due to the alley, but it is still within the center of the tourist spots.

It is one of the cleanest hostels in Ho Chi Minh since the owner is Japanese. Most hostels in Vietnam run by locals are narrow, stuffy, and old. The staff was good and could converse in English. I made new friends here. On my last day, we drank and hung out. The neighborhood is quiet since it's deep inside the alley, but the entrance is not the best. The breakfast is quite decent. It's not so grand, but it's enough to fill your stomach before you explore the city. The hot water in the shower room is not functioning, so you need to bathe in cold water.

The guesthouse owner very kind and helpful. The room was clean and they gave us a cot for our small baby!
