Cao Phi Yen, owner of Bui Vien Street Hostel, said that around a third of her hostel had been leased to students and office staff at affordable prices.

At present, tourist numbers are just a third of those before Covid-19. So, she decided to rent space to students and office staff at VND1.8-2 million per month.
"In the coming time, I’ll turn the remaining rooms into the dormitory service to serve travellers, particularly foreigners. This would attract more foreigners who want to save costs,” Yen said.
Lots of hotels on the street have halved their rates
Nguyen Gia Hao from New York Thien Phuc said his hotel room had been cut to VND600,000-800,000 from VND1-3 million earlier. However, only 70 percent of the rooms have been rented to date.
Meanwhile, many hotels on Bui Vien remain closed or are available for lease following the long suspension due to Covid-19.
