The staff were fantastic. The room was fine for what I wanted. The only thin was I booked that place because it sai 3 min from market, walking street and a few more minutes from other sights. In actual fact it was a long taxi ride to all the places of interest.

One of the worst stays ever

the bathroom smells, there are ants everywhere, there are stains everywhere, and the paint is falling off the walls. The door to the patio does not lock, so the next door person could come in any time. There isn't a safe in the room. The light flickers in the bathroom. The water doesn't get very hot. The toilet doesn't flush all the way unless you hold the button down for a few seconds. The location shown on hotels .com is not the location of the actual hotel--it is located in district 5, not district 1 near Ben Thanh market

First time to Ho Chi Minh

First time to Vietnam, just picked a place to stay. Whole crew was very friendly. Helped us with all our needs. Off the main road a little, but we made due. 5 night stay, price was good.

Das Hotel ist etwas älter und mit dem Auto schwer zu erreichen, einige Fahrer sind verärgert, weil es nur eine Richtung gibt und kein Abbiegen.
Die Zimmer haben ihre besten Tage hinter sich, sind aber sauber und zweckmäßig. Pool - haben wir nicht ausprobiert, da es kein Chlor gibt und das Wasser nicht gefiltert wird.
Die Lage ist gut für Straßeneinkäufe, weiter auf der Hotel Hintergasse, bis Sie auf die andere parallele Hauptstraße in der Nacht zu bekommen. Bessere Preise (etwa 50% weniger als Start) als in der völlig überbewertet Ben Tanh Markt. (which is a total Touristrap) So if you want to shop and save money this is a good place to stay.

Felt very welcome there. Beautiful hosts very helpful even withdtanding the language barrier. Would have no trouble whatsoever recommending this place to other hostel goers! Such a clean and well maintained place. A little bit away from the centre but so serene and calm. Thankyou every at My friends

Research it first to be sure

The hotel is about 40 minutes away from the location on hotels.com,Google knows where so look there first. It's down a road taxis struggle to get to. We booked a room with black out currants and were given a room with no windows. We were then 'upgraded' to a room with windows but no black out curtains... It had a frosted glass front door that let all the light from the hallway and room opposite in. There is a tiny wet room with no rain heat shower, and no chance of that deep soak tub on the listing. The pool is a think green colour that looks to have been that easy for a while. The cleaning mechanism is dismantled beside it. Reception didn't seem bothered and were reluctant to tell us when it would be cleaned, it was always too be done tomorrow. The room itself is dusty, do not look behind the TV (which feels like it will fall off the wall if you try to touch it) as it's think with dust. We plugged in a chromecast and instantly regretted it. The bed is solid, whereas the pillows melt away under the weight of your head. The duvet is tiny, we ordered another. The air conditioner in our room was stuck on, the remote didn't work. To end on a positive note, the lift worked and it has WiFi.

Not recommended

Hotel was ok. Appeared to be under construction, dust everywhere and building works going on internally. Power went out about 3 times during our stay and was out for about an hour each time. Pool didnt look clean, so did not use and rooftop area was uninviting. Location on hotels.com was wrong, had to google maps once we got there and location is down an ally, completly out of the way. About 40 minute walk to city attractions.

Don't stay here.

The room is nice but it is really far from everything. They don't provide airport transport at least not reasonable. They asked me to pay 20 dollars but that cost way more than any taxi. The hotel is not close inof to walk anywhere. You have to get a taxi for everything. They were rude also when I asked about the airport trasport they kind giggled about it. I would not recommend you stay at this place. Although the room is nice the quality of everthing else is poor.

Not worth in

The condition of the room was not very good. There was no toilet seat and it was very clear that is was a former hotel which had been fine, and now they had put in the very minimum and in some case less than that. There was small ants and mold in the bathroom. They say they have a pool, but it was never open due to cleaning which we were told would be done our first day there. The area is okay, but it is a bit far out of town. Would not stay there again and think you can get more for your money somewhere else.

The hotel is shown in a total different area on the map in the app. It’s shown in central district 1, near the park but is actually located in district 5. The aircon sucked, the shower didn’t work and the place feels dirty. On the other hand, the price was cheap and discounted. The price definitely matched the low quality.

Smutsig pool och lågt långt ifrån centrum. Personalen kunde inte engelska. Fick vad man betala för. Annars fräscha rum.

Inte som vi tänkt oss men ok ändå

Hotellet i sig var helt ok men sängarna var bedrövligt hårda, kunde lika gärna sovit på en parkbänk ur just den synvinkeln. Bodde på rum med 2 stora sängar, mkt god service av personalen. Nackdelen var väl att det inte alls låg nära marknaden & centrum som i beskrivningen men man tar sig lätt dit med buss som stannar i stort sett utanför för endast 5000vnd=~2,50kr/pp
Prisvärt om man stannar nån natt men sängarna tar död på ryggen.

L'albergo non rispecchia le caratteristiche descritte, nemmeno la posizione sulla mappa! La camera non era bella come in foto, il materasso scomodo e la pulizia rasciava a desiderare! A quel prezzo si può trovare di meglio
