The rooms are not new, but they are clean and a good size compared to the other guesthouses I checked out in the area. We had... More

I stayed 2 nights in this hotel ($18 per night, single, AC) and was quite pleased with the room. Probably the nicest I was in during my 3 weeks in vietnam. Strong wifi in the room. When I checked out, I left a bag, which the proprietor said was no problem. I returned 2 weeks later and the proprietor seem... More

We requested a room for 4, hotel staff said they could put a mattress for the 4th person but when we arrived, there wasn't any mattress. We were given a room on the 7th floor but the lift went up to the 6th floor only; this was pretty annoying. The room was in good size; however, linen was extremely dirty... More

This is a great location, we were right in the centre and in walking distance to most of the sights. The rooms were clean and comfortable with t.v, bathtub, fridge, aircon. Friendly service and breakfast included good value. We would stay there again.

This budget hotel ($22 for the two of us) is in the heart of the action in Ho Chi Minh City, with the Ben Thanh Market not even 10 minutes walk, and the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum an easy 15 minute walk.
