Women only
Properties or dorms that take women exclusively.
- The Common Room ProjectWomen only
Staff run family dinners every night, which is how most solo guests end up with a table of people they actually want to spend time with. The co-working setup means the common areas stay occupied and purposeful rather than just decorative. Reviews mention nothing past the social side, so bring your own late-night plan.
Hostel · 5.0 from 653 · about $60 a night - The Hideout HostelWomen only
Every dorm here is women-only, which the reviews say changes how you sleep. The alley location reads as disorienting on arrival, so screenshot the last turn before you lose signal.

Where most first solo trips start, and where meeting people costs no effort.
- Saigon Authentic Hostel & Tours
The rooftop view suggests a central position in Ho Chi Minh City.
Hostel · 4.9 from 1,931 - Meander Saigon
The free beer each evening draws people to the rooftop without anyone having to try too hard, which is how most women here end up with dinner plans. Staff sort Cu Chi and Mekong day trips at prices other hostels do not match. Rooms are notably clean.
Hostel · 4.7 from 715 · about $8 a night - Long HostelHostel · 4.7 from 485
- Saigon Chill Hostel
Every reviewer flags the same thing: staff who actually go out of their way, offering restaurant tips and following through on requests. It sits directly on Bùi Viện, so the street is lively the moment you step out. The capsule bunks are genuinely comfortable, soft mattress included.
Hostel · 4.7 from 411 - City Backpackers Hostel
Staff plan multi-city routes and book sleeper bus tickets, steps off Bui Vien.
Hostel · 4.7 from 327 - The Like Hostel & Cafe
A rooftop with notable city views is available to guests.
