No...no....no...

It wasaweful... we landed in Ho chi minh at 11:30. When grab dropped us, we were looking for hotel... it was actually, walking into a restaurant, and they greeted us in front of customers eating food... theres no reception greeting as hotels.com states in the detail. It was awkward as we were two mom and daughter alone and didnt want to deal with this in middle of night... please dont go if you are females. Ok for males. .

This is basically some rooms above a restaurant, there is no reception, no information on trips or similar. Ignore the pictures, the rooms are very basic and dated. Would not stay again, even for the cheap price.

Friendly staff, good hygiene but dodgy security

Having arrived late at night at 1am, the reception have no fuss with my booking and provided me with the keys. There are no lifts but it is fine with me. The rooms are standard with good cleanliness. However, the windows to the balcony cannot be closed properly so there is potential for burglars. The conditions of the windows also caused me to wake up at 7am in the morning due to the traffic honks. Otherwise is a good stay.

This is a very well located old building in District 1. The place is tired and a bit run down, but everything works. We were on the 5th floor and could hear the entire city through the closed windows, but I suspect that's most rooms with windows facing the action, especially in older buildings. Staff were friendly.

A mini hotel conveniently located in city center.

A mini hotel run by a family. As I reach hotel, I got warm welcome by whole staff, especially Tam and she is very helpful and willing to help her guests if they need. Also she speak fluent English. While the property is not luxury like many of top end hotels, it is comfortable to stay. Spacious room with well arranged amenities and located just next to Pham Ngu Lao Street(Backpackers street). Plus, neighbourhood has plenty choice of restaurants, cafe, convenience store and hair cut. The only cons is no lift at the property, so if you are not comfortable up & down by stairways, request to lower floor. If next time I come to Saigon again, I will be back to this property again.

Really nice place with a very central location. Lovely staff and clean room, only recommendation, there is no elevator so if you struggle with stairs request a room on a lower floor
