Saigon Chill Hostel has two kinds of accommodation: mixed dormitories and private rooms. The dormitories are four-bed rooms of 18 m² and eight-bed rooms of 48 m², where each guest has a bunk bed and the rooms have air conditioning. Every room type comes with a private bathroom, so the shared element is the sleeping space rather than the washroom.
The private rooms are the Superior Double Room, 18 m² with a large king-size bed and a walk-in shower, the Small Double Room, 16 m² with a single bed and no windows, and the Deluxe Double Room, which has a single bed and a standard shower. All three private bathrooms have a hairdryer, and guests travelling as a couple will find the king-size bed only in the Superior Double Room.
At 18 m², this is the larger of the private doubles, with a king-size bed, a walk-in shower in the private bathroom with hairdryer, a dressing room, a TV, a refrigerator and a carpeted floor. It is 2 m² bigger than the Small Double Room, and the only room with a king-size bed.
