Frontier Hostel & Tours

The staff were the friendliest I have met. They gave me great recommendations and had a google map to share with you. I was communicating with them ahead of time to organise a bus to Mu cang chai for the following day. Good location. There is an elevator in the building. Has a water dispenser. Has a light and plugs by the bed. Mattress is the usual vietnamese hardness.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Free water refill and bicycles. Neat and tidy. Aircon OK. Terrace where to dry clothes. Bunk beds with curtains. Few guests. Elevator for reaching the dorm at the 5th floor. Cheap street buffets in a walking distance from the hostel: walk towards the big bridge on the main road south of the hostel, crossed the bridge keep going straight and take the last one on the right before the big roundabout.

Where to begin?! Staying at the Frontier Hostel should be a no brainer for anyone stopping in Dien Bien. The hostel is fantastic, comfortable and clean- but it’s the people that make the place! Greg and Són, and the whole team make this a special place to spend some time. We also ended up doing a tour which was phenomenal from start to finish. All I can say is that if Dien Bien ever crosses your mind as a place to go- Frontier hostel can be chosen eyes closed as it is a gem!

Great owner who goes out of his way to make sure guests are happy and well informed about what there is to do in the underrated town of Dien Bien Phu. Very friendly and helpful English-speaking staff too. Right next to several eateries and close to most of the immediate sights. Scooters for rent in house. I ended up staying for three nights before crossing the border to Laos, which is what most people come here for.

I booked initially only 5 nights, but because of their hospitality I extended 2 more nights. The location is close to bus stations offering most itineraries of the western north. And I can walk to the Dien-bien-phu commercial airport. The new bridge has been being built cross the Nậm-rốm river, that will provide the very short walk passage to town. The management, particularly Greg, Hai, Tuan and their team went out of the way to make my stay as at home. I really appreciated their hospitality. Beside running the hostel, Frontier Hostel & Tours is also providing tour services to anyone interesting in discovery the lives, cultures, landscapes of Dien-bien-phu and the the surrounding countryside. Can not write everything out! Just book and get there to get the experiences. Thank you again the team of Frontier Hostel & Tours. David (29/3/2023)
