Guest Reviews
- Mikhail (1/5): The worst experience - Nothing - the address on booking is incorrect, and Google Maps does not show the route to this location. You will need a local guide to accompany you to the hotel.
- the owner is never at home. Instead of the room we booked, we were given a room with a sink in front of the bed. You can wash your face without getting up. However, you won't be able to do this, as the water pressure is as thin as a thread. The toilet is located diagonally from the bed, without a partition, allowing you to communicate directly with the person on the bed.
- dirt, cockroaches, the owner doesn't answer calls and gives you a slightly better room, but it's still not the one we booked. We had to find another hotel at night.
If you want to constantly face difficulties and don't like yourself very much, this is your option.
- Thiri (5/5): Passable - Reasonable price Ventilation system, bed not comfortable
- Chloe (5/5): Passable -
- Cherise (3/5): I would not book here again unfortunately. Close to loads of bars and restaurants but the overall cleanliness, cat smell -
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Joseph (2/5): Disappointing, wouldn’t return - Location Disappointing stay. The room was unclean and there were just too many issues. Wouldn't return
- Paul (5/5): Passable - We only booked this accommodation to store our luggage for the day as we had a midnight flight, so I can't say how it was over a night. The pro is that it was a cheap place. You get what you pay for, but it definitely needs upgrading in all areas to keep people coming and actually enjoying the accommodation. Dirty walls and fixtures in the double room. The door to the balcony doesn't fully close. Down a dingy alleyway off beer street. You wouldn't expect to find it as there weren't any signs for it on the street.
- Kieran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jake (10/5): Exceptional - I dont understand why people has low reviews. The place is very good! Aircon is working, hot and cold shower, not noisy. Very clean and good value for money in the heart of district 1! No cleaning of bedsheets even though we stayed for 6 nights.
- Lana (8/5): Very good - Clean spacious beds with a closet, mini fridge, nice bathroom, towels and disposable toothpaste and toothbrush. AC and fan Sink didn’t work
- Jaithu (2/5): Very poor -
- Semen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ludevico (7/5): Good -
- Jeni (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed. The air conditioning worked well, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The bathroom was also clean, with hot water available at all times.
What impressed me the most was the friendliness of the staff. They were very welcoming, helpful, and always ready to answer any questions I had. It really made me feel at home.
For the price I paid, the value was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable and pleasant stay in the Bui Vien area. I’ll gladly come back next time I’m in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Anonymous (1/5): Avoid If you can - The price is very good . The room was dirty and there was a smell from the fridge . The owner only accepted cash and a few hours after check in , he sent me a text asking me for a favour : to cancel my booking online , it seemed really fishy and I checked the reviews on Google , they all experienced the same problem with the host . We packed our bags and left the hotel . I would not recommend this place !!!
- Cooper (6/5): Get what you pay for - If the walking street is where you want to be then this place is for you. Surprisingly quiet. Value for money. A/C works. Would only mention this if it was a real problem but the shower pressure was non existent to the point where I used a cup and the tap to shower.
- Wiljon (8/5): Very good -
- Account (8/5): Very good - Location I liked everything
- June (5/5): Passable -
- Nehal (9/5): Comfortable stay - The location is awesome. It's right on the Bui Vien Street. The most happening street Room is small..
- Suresh (1/5): Disgusting experience for international travellers - It was completly untidy
1)area looks like in the mid of a crowded and unorganised area
2)u find everything not working except ac and lights
3)wash tub- inoperative pipe
4)first time such a bad selection from trips.com
5)first impression itself built safety concerns and sleep was a nightmare I didn't like anything there
U see the kettle then u feel like u r in a war museum
- Mollie (7/5): Ideal for people looking just for a room for city stay - Good location - we didn’t have any issues hearing the walking street - we stayed on top floor. The room was okay , small with private bathroom - but for district 1 not bad for price at all. The room & property could probably do with a bit of TLC. Host was fine - we never met but provided with details to enter property. We left cash payment.
- Hong (6/5): Pleasant -
- Adrian (8/5): Very good -
- Liam (5/5): You get what you pay for... - It's okay. Good aircon It's super hard to find. The rooms are tiny. There's no basin in the shower. No lift so it can be a struggle getting up and down. Especially with luggage.
- Michael (9/5): Central location a stones throw from the bars and restaurants. - The location is as central to Walking Street as you can get.... yet the room was actually pretty quiet. We slept right through.
The room was excellent and secure with everything you need.
- Kosta (9/5): Superb -
- Vanja (5/5): Passable -
- Monica (9/5): Superb - Very good value for money. It was pretty quiet even though it was right around the corner from the busy night area. The aircon didn’t work the first night, but it got fixed for the next and cooled the room down effectively.
- Dennis (6/5): A studio apartment with bare necessities!!! - Good location and quiet and clean. Kettle provided, however no cups or glasses. The water for the shower wasn’t hot. No staff around at any time.
- Shubhanker (1/5): Bad -
- Shubhanker (1/5): Not at all recommended - Nothing Nothing was good
Pathetic behaviour of staff
Even the room were not clean
- Zhou (8/5): A clean and decent place to stay with such a price. - The owner is very nice and helpful, in the daytime the house is almost nobody there and he ask me through Telegram just to leave the money inside the room when I check out, a good and kind fellow if you think how untrustworthy most people are😅👍
- Vn (10/5): Exceptional - The Howgart is a charming little hotel in the heart of Bui Vien. It offers great value for money, making it an excellent choice for budget travelers. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to nightlife, street food, and top attractions. The staff is welcoming and always ready to help. The rooms are simple but comfortable, perfect for a short stay. Overall, a great find at a great price. I will definitely return.
- Osama (4/5): Disappointing - Location Cleanliness amd service
- Alexa (10/5): Excellent, thank you - Super clean, super quiet, clear instructions, great communication, 100% in the Main Street! Great value and I might be going back.
- Calvin (8/5): Very good - Great service
- Abigail (8/5): Very good -
- Shaun (7/5): Good -
- Khac (4/5): Rather disappointed - Just cats Tiny bathroom, smelly room cuz of the toilet, no amenities in the washroom, balcony didnt open.
There were a lil trash from the last guests, so I assumed they did not clean it enough.
- Novoa (5/5): Passable -
- Hong (7/5): Good -
- Naveen (1/5): Highly not recommended. Only if have short budget - Only location because it's close to music street. Over all nothing... Bed was uncomfortable, no windows in room. Totally sealed.. Molded in room and washroom. Brown ants on my bed. On name of blanket old piece of thick cloth.. Bed sheet not washed and cleaned.
- Aran (9/5): Superb - Great location. Clean. Very polite staff. Sadly there wasn’t a proper mattress which wasn’t great for my back.
- Hone (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mansi (10/5): Exceptional - owner was too kind and sweet to let us keep our luggage in lobby even after checking out. loved the cat also :p wish there was a lift though :')
- Cecilia (8/5): Very good -
- Isabel (8/5): Very good - Clean. Got my room card from a passcode-locked device on the door. Entrance/exit is also passcode-locked. There was a towel, blanket, toiletries, AC, kettle, and hair dryer. The door could be double locked from the inside. Cabinet also had hangers. Shower could get hot water after streaming water for a while, but the temperature couldn't be controlled, just a certain degree of heat. I could hear club music from evening until about 4AM, so my sleep wasn't so deep. It's across the street from the area of the accommodation.
- Hamster124 (9/5): Superb - Staff are super niceee!
Everything is perfect. Nothing
- Dan (8/5): Very good -
- Sharmaine (10/5): Great place to stay. Great value for your money! - Location is perfect steps away from walking street.
Everything you need is just steps away (spa, restaurants,travel agency,coffee shops,pharmacy)
Host is friendly. He answered all my questions. No problem with check in The key card box is a bit high
No sink in the bathroom
You can hear some noise from the walking street.
- Jiska (7/5): Good - Lovely staff Small room and now sink in the bathroom to wash hands/brush teeth
- Oleg (5/5): Just location - You buy it because of location and price, but no more than 1 night. Very cute hotel cat. Ridiculous but first hotel in my life without clothes hanger. Everything uncomfortable, even water in shower inconsistent, it just spit on you from time to time. Problem to sleep, half night you can't sleep because of music from bars, another half because local people next door wake up and go outside. If you very drunk maybe not a problem.
- Yeva (5/5): Okay for the money but overall not great - Really fast internet
Right in the city center
Very affordable Don't be fooled by the name, the only things you'll get from Hogwarts are a bunch of very sad looking tapestries and a sign with the 9 3/4 station.
Other than that it's an okayish (for the price) room with no window in my case at least
You basically shower in the toilet
The host/manager was not enthusiastic and not very polite
Not the property's fault, but when I read that the hostel is situated on the main walking street, I imagined a European style main walking street, it turned out to be a crazy party street, so I couldn't sleep at night because of very loud music, so keep that in mind
Honestly I won't consider staying there again, I highly recommend that you invest just a little bit more in a better place
And I do understand that the place is very affordable, I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but I've stayed in much nicer places in SEA for the same money in various counties
- Hoàng (9/5): Superb - The owner is friendly
- Mr (10/5): Exceptional - good location , very cheap , nice staff needs a water pump to improve shower strength
- Becca (5/5): Disappointed - Walking distance of everything - shower had a mind of its own
- stains on ceilings and walls
- could hear music all night from the walking street
- I was not sent the self check in information and I had let the staff know we were arriving in the evening , nobody was there and we were locked out , after a long journey this was not ideal at all
- we were then asked to cancel the booking when we were in our room, this unsettled me as I did not want to cancel the booking when I was in the hotel .. I think the reason was as we had been put in a different room to the one we booked but this communication was being made to me at 10pm at night via WhatsApp which felt strange to me and didn’t help that we hadn’t seen any staff members at all I just had a number messaging me asking to cancel!
- knock on the door at 9am with someone asking for payment! This was what shocked me , I replied through the door that I will be down to pay in the reception area as I had just woken up. I have never experienced this before with any property on booking.com?! The idea is that payment is made when you check in (we were in late so nobody was there) or you pay when you are at the front desk, so again just strange to me. So these points just ruined the stay for me really
- Jeremy (9/5): Superb - Steps away from bui Vien street
- Roberto (6/5): Pleasant -
- Shane (10/5): Very affordable and the place is clean - It is VERY near in Bui Vien. Lots of restaurants The narrow little street going to the hotel. A little hard to find
- Peter (7/5): Good -
- Hollow (8/5): Very good -
- Cheng (8/5): Comfortable and i will stay here when i come back to Saigon. - Nice location Lavatory fsucet not working.
- Thu (9/5): Superb -
- Micaela (6/5): Pleasant - The location is good, close to many restaurants and the centre. The owner left us leaving our things while we waited for the check in. The room wasn’t so clean and it was quite small. I think the price could be lower for what you get
- Petra (5/5): If there would have been stuff it would have been o.k for the money. - The room was nice and clean. It was a small room with nice paintings on the ceiling and some artwork on the walls.
Aircon was working well. No view to the street or anywhere.
It looks like we were very lucky to see stuff at all. There was actually nobody half an hour later. The access code for the door we were given did not work. We had to ask other guests for the wifi code.
The guest house was hard to find too, we had to carry our luggage through a labyrinth. Then, the owners were just on the leave, we had to go to another house to our room. We arrived at the specified time but would have had no chance to get in our room a minute later. There was no phone number or other means of reaching any stuff member and would have been left on the road....
- Aung (7/5): Nice location, helpful staff, a bit messy and noisy, had a lot to improve with customer engagement. Overall decent. - I like the location. The walking street is just around the corner. The staff are very nice. I requested the early check in days ahead of my trip. I did not get the reply from the property until I arrive to the place. They only replied me just before my check in time leaving me not knowing wherher to book another room or not even though I sent my messages regarding with my request. During my stay, the place was a bit messy and I am guessing they had to do some of the fixings and cleaning.
- Caitlyn (3/5): Poor - Location The bed smelled like urine. No hand soap for the sink.
- Charlie (7/5): Good -
- Luke (7/5): Great location and nice staff but frustrating experience with the washing facilities… - The location was great, easy to access the main sites and the room was clean and comfortable. We paid to use the communal washing machine and dryer. Annoyingly whoever had previously used it had left bleach in the machine which ruined a lot of our good clothes and we are now having to replace a lot of them.
- Hoang (1/5): They have confirmed my booking but when I show up they said there are no room available. I have to find another hotel at -
- Rebecca (3/5): Poor - Good location No sink in the bathroom!! No hot water in the shower.
- Matthew (8/5): Very good -
- Harilal (8/5): Very good -
- Helena (9/5): I would definitely stay here again. - The room was spotless, the staff was very helpful and the location couldn’t have been better.
You can also use the washing machine at a very reasonable price. Quite often you can ear the loud music from the nearby bars.
Also, we had a little issue with the A/C, which was solved immediately.
- Bình (10/5): Exceptional -
- Santana (8/5): Very good - Location was good but it is close to the party street so can be a bit loud but didn't bother us.
Bed was comfortable, they have a washing machine too. Self check in which was smooth The door! Had to slam it close everytime but that was probably just our room as I didn't hear anyone else doing it
- Joe (8/5): Very good - Great location. Staff were great, easy check in and out, also get free use of the washing machine and dryer which is awesome! Very loud when trying to sleep can hear the music from walking street quite loudly but I suppose that comes with staying so close to the party street lol. Overall would recommend and would stay again
- Travis (10/5): Exceptional - Comfy room, great location, and good price. All the amenities like fridge and water boiler. Water pressure in shower isn't so good.
- Danica (9/5): Superb -
- Mai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Siss (9/5): Superb - The room are clean and comfortable. The price is fair.
- Minh (9/5): Superb - Perfect location The owner said it is under construction so I found the room is quite dusty and there were ants.
- Florencia (8/5): Very good - The location was great. Private room with bathroom , fridge, and kettle . Aircon , everything is working well. a very nice place to rest and recharge energy. The bed was not very comfortable. But overall, nice
- Darian (7/5): Good - The location was pretty good. It's right around the corner from the clubs, but also a good location for tours. I liked the self check in process. There's a washer and dryer available for a small fee. I wouldn't say it was dirty, but it wasn't the cleanest place I've stayed. Nothing too bad, but it could of used a little bit better of a cleaning.
- Sahil (7/5): Good - For a solo traveler I think it was fine although room was small but good for sleep and small luggage people. There is no lift in the apartment and host was really polite and speaks English.
- Madeleine (9/5): Superb - It’s super convenient and close to the Center. The room was clean and I enjoyed the local vibe, the owner was nice and very helpful. I enjoyed the fire into the side street from the small balcony. Check-in was contactless and easy. There are a lot of really good food spots around. Not a dislike, just make sure you have data to get in contact with owner on check-in :)
- Jemina (10/5): Definitely worth staying here - Really close to everything the people who own it are super friendly and will help you out. You have everything you need. It does get a little noisy as you can here bar street but for us that was fine.
- Hays (5/5): Passable -
- Gabriel (10/5): Good value for money - It's at the corridor of Buy Vien street and pretty quiet for such a location. If you like hard mattress then you will enjoy the sleep. Great contact with host. Our balcony didn't close.
- Junlin (9/5): Great stay for backpackers - Perfect location in a busy district of Ho-Chi-Minh-City, rooms are not very big, but still comfortable, everything worked well
- Jas (8/5): Great convenient place to stay - Nice small apartment room, super convenient location, friendly staff but you wont see them much Lots of stairs
Quite noisy unless you bring ear plugs
- Tomasz (5/5): Mixed Experience - The location is incredibly convenient. The landlady was quick to respond to communication and accommodating when I needed to change my booking dates and check out earlier, without charging any cancellation fees. Unfortunately, the noise from the Walking Street made it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the water pressure in the shower was extremely low, which made it difficult to enjoy a proper shower. Moreover, the lack of ventilation in the toilet was a discomfort.
- Maria (4/5): Disappointing - Bed was comfy. Bathroom was very small.
Shower did not have hot water.
Air con didn't work correctly.
Only seen the staff once on arrival, stayed three nights. No room clean / additional toilet roll.
Room itself very small.
Could hear the music from walking street.
Would be okay for one night but that would be it.
- Bart (6/5): Needs better care and more hospitality. - Clean, convenient location Very hard to find. Address correspondents to second location. No reception. Late or no reaction to messages. No option to call directly.
- David (7/5): Reasonably priced - The room was reasonably priced and overall it was ok. Down a back alley. Bit noisy from Walking street but bearable, the balcony doors didn't close so this made it a little worse. But overall it was cheap and well placed.
- Dearest (9/5): Superb -
- Tri (5/5): Acceptable but not recommendable - The location The bed, the bathroom and the floor
- Samira (7/5): Good value for money. - We liked the good location, many things are walkable from here. Good shower. Laundry service if needed. Easy self check in.
Don’t expect too much of the room, it’s not the biggest or cleanest but everything you need works fine and location is the best. Very noisy from the party street. Our room had a window that couldn’t close properly, other rooms might be fine.
