Last night was a rainy one, and on the family dinner’s menu were vegan spring rolls. The traditional pork and shrimp toppings were replaced with fragrant lemongrass shrooms and crispy fried tofu, loaded with fresh herbs, accompanied by a delectable hoisin peanut dipping sauce, washed down with a cold beer (or an old fashioned for our bougier friends). We couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a cozy rainy night in.

“What was your design inspo?”

Everything and nothing. I didn’t have any specific artistic influences. I’m not a designer and have no experience in design. But I take inspiration from anything. From people, from places, from local experiences and even from feelings.

I’ve been a digital nomad for years and have traveled a lot. I’ve made connections globally. I left London years ago but here you will find industrial design imprints often seen there. I balanced that by keeping the space open-plan, light and airy with minimal furnishing. The smaller details are modern and thought-provoking. Finally, I brought it all together by paying homage to earth tones often seen in Vietnam, such as wood, stone and marble. So what’s the style here? Modern, minimal, industrial and earthy. Can they coexist? I think so.

I want guests to feel both comfortable and inspired while they are here. Believe in your dreams, build a community for you to thrive in and create the life you want to live.

On a fateful night six years ago, two young(ish) fools met at a hostel in Madrid. They spent the entire night talking. They talked about their goals, their inspirations, their favourite recent experiences, their most cherished memories and what they thought life might look like five years from then. Despite both being focussed on their careers at the time, they found commonality in the desire to be free, to travel and to build community worldwide. As the clock approached 5am and bed-time was calling, one said to the other, “Hey, you would make a really great hostel owner.”

That casual comment sparked a fire that never blew out, and, six years on, in the heart of Saigon, they have brought their project to life.

Chuyện kể rằng có đôi bạn trẻ tình cờ gặp nhau ở chiếc hostel ở Madrid cách đây sáu năm. Họ tâm sự cả đêm về những hoài bão, cảm hứng sống và những trải nghiệm đầy thú vị mà họ vừa khám phá được gần đây, những kỷ niệm đẹp mà họ trân quý và những suy nghĩ về cuộc sống sẽ ra sao trong năm năm tới. Tại thời điểm đó, hai con người với hai ngã rẽ sự nghiệp tưởng chừng như khác nhau, ấy vậy mà lại tìm thấy những đồng điệu về đam mê. Họ khao khát được tự do khám phá cuộc sống, đi khắp nơi trên thế giới và nuôi dưỡng những cộng đồng có cùng sở thích ở mọi nơi. Trời đã gần sáng, khi đồng hồ đã điểm 5 giờ, một người nói với người kia rằng: “Này, nếu mày mở một chiếc hostel của riêng mày thì sẽ tuyệt lắm đó!”

Lời nói năm nào đã nhen nhóm nên một ước mong cháy bỏng mà có lẽ chưa bao giờ tắt, và, sau sáu năm, giữa lòng Sài Gòn, khát khao đó đã trở thành hiện thực.
