You can expect a fantastic buffet breakfast in the morning, with a great variety of food including western favorites like BLT, butternut squash soup, pizza, pasta, and Sapa chicken rice, all at an affordable price.

The hostel is super clean, and the staff is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic environment for all guests.

You can park your motorbike at the hostel, although motorbike rentals are not available on-site. Additionally, the property offers parking and an airport shuttle service for added convenience.

The high season at Lustig Hostel is in March, offering an ideal time to experience the great facilities, including a spa and wellness center, massage services, and evening entertainment such as hiking.

The hostel provides modern rooms with comfortable beds, although some guests have mentioned the need for improvements such as addressing mold on the curtains and providing better mattress quality.

Guests highly recommend booking a private room for a more comfortable and luxurious experience, with some comparing it to a 4-star hotel.

While the hostel is a 10-minute walk from the city center, some guests found the uphill walk challenging, especially after a tiring day.

Shared room guests should consider bringing earplugs, as some visitors were not mindful of noise levels, affecting the rest of others.

If staying in a dormitory, it's advisable to check for the availability of curtains for added privacy, as they are not provided by default.

Some guests noted a smell in the bathroom and mentioned the need for better ventilation in the dormitories.

For cheaper bus tickets and hotel pick-up options, it's recommended to buy bus tickets at the bus station in the city center rather than through the hostel.

If seeking a more local experience, guests may consider opting for a homestay or a place closer to the heart of the city, as the hostel has a more foreigner expat vibe.

Guests who prefer lower beds should request them in advance, as bed selection is not guaranteed, especially after a tiring day of hiking.

Some guests found the lack of hooks in the bathroom inconvenient and recommended bringing hooks for hanging toiletries.

Guests staying in shared rooms should check for mold on curtains and walls and address any concerns with the staff promptly.
