From the Main tour bus drop off point on Pham Ngu Lao: We are located just a short 3 minute walk across the park from the main tour bus stop on Pham Ngu Lao. On the other side of the park you will reach Le Lai street. From Le Lai continue onto Nguyen Van Trang street. We are about 100m down on the right hand side of Nguyen Van Trang street just before the next intersection.
From Bui Vien: At Crazy Buffalo turn left onto De Tham street and head directly across the park. That will land you on our street (Nguyen Van Trang). We are about 100m down on the right hand side of Nguyen Van Trang street just before the next intersection.
From Ben Thanh Market: Head southwest down Le Lai Street. Le Lai will be the closest road paralleling the big park on the right hand side of the market when facing the roundabout. Continue down Le Lai 750 m and turn right onto Nguyen Van Trang. We are about 100m down on the right hand side of Nguyen Van Trang street just before the next intersection.
From the Airport: There are two main options from the airport, Taxi and Public Bus.
By Taxi, use the VinaSun taxi pickup at the far far left when leaving the airport lobby. DO NOT use the taxi vendors directly out front. They will try to lure you in as soon as you step out the door. Ignore them, they are con-artists. VinaSun is reliable and honest. They should be using a meter. If they are not, refuse service from them until they do. The trip to the hostel should cost around 200,000 VND (about $10). You may be charged an extra 10,000 VND from what the meter reads. This is normal. It is simply a fee the drivers have to pay each time they exit the airport terminal.
By Public Bus, If you are a bit more adventurous we suggest the public bus, as it will save you about $10. Out the airport lobby to the right you will see public buses. Take Bus number 152. Again, ignore the vendors and hawkers out front of the airport. Contrary to what they will tell you, you DO NOT need to purchase a ticket in advance. Simply pay the bus driver or attendant 6,000 VND when you board the bus. Take Bus 152 all the way to the final stop at the main terminal directly across the large roundabout from Ben Thanh Market. From here follow the directions from Ben Than Market above. IMPORTANT the public bus only runs until 6 pm. After that you will need to take a taxi.
