Da Lat was the first place to adopt the trend towards hostels inVietnam, with many featuring designs that were different from elsewhere.For example, The Circle Vietnam Hostel has rooms in a tube shape, andopened in October.
When construction began in July it was a hard time, as Da Lat was hitby rain and progress slowed down, the owner, Mr. Nguyen Quang Khai,said.
Because the shape of the rooms is totally new, he had to do a lotof research and seek input from many experts.
“All we had was information and photos, which were only for referencepurposes, so we still had to think about materials and constructionmethods that were suitable for Da Lat’s weather and location,” Mr. Khaisaid.
“We had to design and mix the colors so it would suit the tastesof our main target customer – backpackers, who love freedom and newexperiences.”
In Da Lat are many other hostels with great designs, such as Ken’sHouse Backpacker – Original, Beepub, and Enjoy Da Lat. Each has its ownuniqueness so travelers have plenty of choice about where to stay.
Hanoi’s hostel market is growing but is not as vibrant as Da Lat’s.One of the well-known newcomers is Hanoi Rocks, with a queue for freebeer snaking around outside its Hang Duong Street location in the OldQuarter.
It was established to cater only to foreign backpackers comingto the city.
The cost per night is $5 to $6 per person. Besides the dormitoryrooms there are other services such as tour bookings and information onclubs, pubs and restaurants.
Tours are mainly designed based on customerneeds, in groups of around 20 people. Destinations include Sapa, HaGiang, Da Nang, Quang Binh, and elsewhere, averaging $100 to $150.
“We create tours that provide practical experiences, trips to thepeaceful countryside, and exploration of untouched places,” said one ofthe owners of Hanoi Rocks. “Foreigners love these rather than luxuriousand noisy places.”
Creating the tours first came about from response tocustomer demand but has proved to be profitable. Restaurants, clubs andpubs are popular places for customers to hang out, yet most close atmidnight.
