Hero Hostel & Billiards
What Guests Say
Positive: The hostel has an excellent position if you are in Chau Doc to get the speedboat to Cambodia. It's literally 2' walking from the boarding point. The hostel also has a rooftop café which is very nice. I had a private room, it was clean. Negative: The walls are very thin, you can clearly hear what happens in the rooms around yours. But most importantly, my room was FULL of mosquitos. As soon as I checked-in I killed some 6-7 mosquitos. However some new ones kept appearing. I spent only one night there and I must have seen between 10 and 15 mosquitos. My room had no windows, so I was wondering how they kept getting in. Then I noticed one mosquito close to a hole in the wall, so I assumed that's where they came from. Not a huuuge deal, but keep it in mind!

The room was just incredibly clean and everything worked perfectly fine. I liked that the washbasin was in the room and not in the bathroom, so you can wash your hands and brush your teeth without getting wet. This hostel is as close to a western country hostel you can possibly get. Everything was good from charging outlets to lightning. The WiFi is flying. It was a bit expensive compared with the rest of Vietnam, but the facilities are top notch. The large and cozy Cafe/bar on the rooftop was superb. It was lit up with lanterns at night. It came complete with table and chairs in all sorts of heights, to satisfy anybody's preference. Also lots and lots of charging outlets there, so perfect for work. The friendly and enthusiastic English speaking staff were always around. They also had bicycle rental...and it was a GOOD one. There's a Coop supermarket across the street. There's also a large common indoor aircon room for those that need to cool off. I really do not understand what people are complaining about here, and I did not mind the no window room. Facilities are more important to me. Staff actually wanted to put me up in a window room across the street, maybe because I'm older than most, but I convinced them to give me what I had booked.

All good. Problem with situation of room. Staff really tried hard to ensure I had a pleasant stay.

- Great central location very close to the river (and the docking point of the boat to/from Phnom Penh), lots of restaurants, etc - Clean rooms - Staff was very helpful and helped us arrange transport to local sights (we even played billiards on the last day!)

Good choice for an economic stay for one night before a boat departure to Cambodia. It is a billiard youth place with several rooms attached. The boat departure point is 70-100 meters in a rather expensive hotel, so walkable distance even with luggage, which saves worries and time in the morning to find transportation in this relatively small town. There is a Coop shop next door where you can get snacks for the boat and there is a cafe open in early hours where you can get Vietnamese coffee. The rooms were clean, with coffee/tea/kettle, flowers and air-conditioning. Staff were very friendly and helped to carry our luggage one floor up the stairs (no elevator).

Newly fitted and very good, generally clean room; exceptional value; plenty of working sockets; good lighting; comfortable bed; soft squishy pillows; good aircon; even a hairdryer! Good location within 10 mins walk of central market, ATMs, etc and 3 mins walk from Victoria Hotel's excellent restaurant (breakfast available for non guests at perfectly ok price and boat dock for Cambodia.)

I stayed in a bedroom, not a dorm but it was very comfortable, clean and good value for money. Everything worked properly, lights, shower, plugs, lock on the door.

Great location near the riverfront and departure point for the ferry to Phnom Penh. Lots of food available nearby and there's a large supermarket across the road. Staff are efficient and cheerful. The room and bathroom were spotless.

The room was perfect for my needs—very clean, with a cool air conditioner, a comfortable bed, and well-organized. The bathroom was spotless, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The room looked exactly like the photos in the app, which was a nice touch!
