Guest Reviews
- Vo (10/5): The hotel is located in an area with entertainment, convenient area . I will come back again -
- John (4/5): So so - Location Cant sleep there.. street music blast till 2am and then they have no jobs ke very loud roosters crowing starting 4am. Plus the AC blast down on you from above. I got sick
- Prakash (7/5): Good -
- Callie (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kai (10/5): Exceptional - Big room great location on the walking street Quite loud music at night but still can easily get to bed so no problem there
- Chang (9/5): Superb -
- Rene (9/5): Superb -
- Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional - Check in restrictions
- Agnieszka (6/5): Pleasant - Air condidion, lift This place is so noise. It's good for someone who do not sleep till 2p.m
There was no Window in the room
- Halkyard (7/5): Good -
- Leon (10/5): If you want to just have a good nightlife in Saigon, this us the right place - We wanted to just be at the walking street! It was just right there. We were expecting non-quiet nights so it was just right. The staff were very helpful, especially the guy that works night shift. He accommodated us for late check in since we arrived late. You just have to put in the request (thank you booking.com) . The action was just right there. There are many restaurants just as you step out of the hotel… but we did not find anything good and they are pricey. Stay away from Bui Vien if you want good food. There are lots of restos nearby
- Olivia (6/5): Pleasant - Facilities were good and in a good location just not ideal if you want a good nights sleep! We did not realise this hotel was on the walking street and would not have booked it if we did, which is not the hotels fault but very very noisy until at least 4am. The corridors smelt like smoke and there were ants in our room on our arrival, which we found weird as we stayed on the 6th floor.
- Delphin (8/5): good location - It's exactly what you pay for, a confortable but cheap room in a busy street
- Jonatan (7/5): Good - We didn’t realize it was in the busiest nightlife street. We only used the room for the day and the music was loud, we don’t know how it is at night…
- Alvaro (3/5): Poor -
- Forhad (2/5): Very poor -
- Rakesh (8/5): Very good -
- Ossala (7/5): Good -
- Olga (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dung (3/5): Poor - smell and dirty such as trash is under the tale and bathroom
- Fouweather (4/5): Passable - Great location, friendly staff, room is decent, comfortable beds, nice hot showers If it wasn’t for the noise the rating would be higher, there’s a club right next door who’s music plays all night, I stayed for 2 days and didn’t sleep until 6am both nights, I was located on the 5th floor and the music was as though I was in the club myself it was that loud
- Mohammad (8/5): Very good -
- Steven (7/5): Good -
- Andre (1/5): I never stayed since they sold my room - They did not keep my room
- Yuki (8/5): Very good - It was cheap and good access to everywhere Outside is so noisy so it’s hard to sleep
- Lisa-marie (2/5): If you are looking for party and are every day damn hammered it could be alright 😅 For all the others: no recommendation - - location
- furnishing First night we got a room facing the busy party street which was really loud.
Next day we could change the room and the noises were almost gone but the room itself was even worse:
AC was not cooling down at all (same like AC of the first room) and the room especially the bathroom were covered with mold which smelled so badly and made us feel really uncomfortable.
We told the staff and they didn’t do anything. The manager didn’t really talked to us and started yelling in Vietnamese.
- Phillip (3/5): Poor -
- Nolan (7/5): Decent place for backpackers & small groups. - Friendly staff. Clean room. Comfortable stay. No complaints.
- Susanne (7/5): comfortable bed, clean room and hot showe, but noisy at streetside - Clean room, comfortable bed, good hot shower, toiletpaper is provided as well as toiletries. They have a laundryservice and our clothes smelled so good!! first night we sleept at the streetside which is terrible because of the noise. Music is loud till late, like 5am. second en third night we slept on the other side which was ok. The room didn’t have any windows, but that’s way beter than the noise. There is no breakfast and no terrace, which is mentioned on booking. Night guard was grumpy.
- Aleš (8/5): Reasonable stay in backpacker street - They left my bags before check in and after check out. The room was clean and everything was working.
The small window had a picture over it so it appeared bigger.
The hotel had an elevator. Some people could have problems with the noise. I was not facing the street so it was barely audible in my room.
- Nicholas (6/5): Pleasant - Great staff. Room was fine. Bed decent. Loud location til very late. Come here if you want to party. Wifi only ok. Bathroom smelled.
- Jennifer (7/5): Basic hotel in a great location if you don’t mind loud music at night. - Great location, we were able to check in a little early as our room was ready on arrival (this was much appreciated after a long night bus). Fridge, A/C and elevator were positives. Hotel description on booking.com has a few inaccuracies: 1 - it says there is a public shower room available for guests with late flights - when we returned to the hotel to pick up our bags before catching an overnight train we were dismissed by a staff member when we asked about using this facility (I don’t know if they actually have a public use shower room). 2 - bed linens were not changed daily however this was not required by us. 3 - as far as we could tell there was no dining area or breakfast available.
Very noisy at night as the hotel is on a main party street - might be ideal if you want to stay out all night and fall in the door of the hotel once the music stops.
The mattress in our room was sagging.
- Smokky (10/5): Exceptional -
- Will (6/5): Pleasant -
- Karine (7/5): Good -
- Cawood (8/5): Very good -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Jai (9/5): Superb - The location is amazing if you're looking to party as there are lots of bars and clubs on the strip where the hotel is located. Due to the location without ANC earphones the noise from the streets can be constant
- Haoting (5/5): Passable -
- Svetoslav (1/5): Bad - Terrible hotel, discusting attitude, I even didn't sleep there when I try to have a talk and they told me that my room isn't available...
- Petri (6/5): Pleasant - Good location and excellent rooftop bar. Room was dirty.
- Sharma (5/5): Passable -
- Christu (1/5): Bad -
- Lim (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nur (5/5): It’s an okay place if you like Vietnamese night life - The property has a lift, the room was big, had a kettle and fridge, has a fan & aircond, has a sofa in the room, the toilet is smelly, bad sewage system, bathroom is dirty, the windows are filthy, the area is very noisy at night. the street is a walking street and dirty.
- Barik (8/5): Very good -
- John (3/5): Poor - The room was average but adequate. The room was advertised with an in-room safety deposit box which wasn't there.
- Issa (5/5): Passable -
- Deepak (8/5): Deepak Gupta - Good location but room was not proper clean
- Kong (8/5): Very good -
- Adam (7/5): Good -
- Mr.j.d. (7/5): Good -
- Jim (10/5): Good value for money - The location, its awesome. Best location in HCM if you're into partying. Step outside and you're on the best pub street in Saigon. Dancers and fun everywhere. And not to noisy inside the hotel. There's a rooftop bar 🍻 There was some misunderstanding about cleaning. If you want fresh set of towels and cleaning, you need to file a request at the desk. This left our room uncleaned for one day which was a slight dissapointment.
- Thi (6/5): Pleasant - Good location Too noisy at night as bars and pubs are opened till 5am in the morning.
- Fernanda (7/5): Good - bed was comfortable location is noisy because of bars, the drain in the shower was locked and they did not fix it, the room has no window
- Chantelle (7/5): Good - Great location if you would like to party and explore walking street and city.
Staff allowed us to store our bags after check out for free.
Rooms clean and fresh.
Clean and comfortable beds.
Get what you pay for. Not the warmest of welcomes.
We believed if we were booking a deluxe room it was with a window as it did not say "no window", however on arrival the staff advised us no window and that is standard on there rooms unless a family room is booked.
However, he did provide us with the 1st night with a window and we had to move to the non window room the next night.
Facilities were lacking, kettle but no mugs and when asked for a mug staff a little hostile and only provided with 1.
Nothing major negative but dont expect too much.
- David (7/5): great location, expect loud noise until 5am - great location old and a bit dirty. my initial room has cockroaches so the staff moved me to another room.
- Lara (6/5): Pleasant -
- Clovis (1/5): poor - nothing noisy and dirty
- Anonymous (3/5): ok - good location and not expensive the room was not clean, they didn’t clean the room at all including changing to clean towels. the bathroom was dirty and smelled bad.
- Kukil (10/5): Exceptional - Well property is located in the main centre,you can have access to everything,markets are in walkable distance,clubs, airport...rooms are clean and not smelly types..Staffs are so polite....
- Ivy (6/5): Still thankful to crew it granted me to get a new room after 1night stay - It's understandable that tourism has stopped in HCMC for quite a long time because of Covid pandemic and economy has dropped so I presumed that the business establishment is struggling ang recovering.
The hotel rooms need repair and the toilet. So I hope when the owner recovers economically the hotel will be improved.
- Kanseidorifto (6/5): Pleasant - the lady manager was very kind and had assisted me very well in every request
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Central location with friendly and helpful staff. Fair prices and there is an open air bar upstairs on the roof with accommodating staff as well. If a light sleeper, maybe bring some earplugs/headphones or you could try and request a room at the back of the building as well.
- Thương (8/5): Very good -
- Hanifah (9/5): Superb -
- Choudhary (10/5): Exceptional - I like the way of talking of hotel managenent to me I like everthing of hotel staff
- Diane (4/5): Old & Decay. - Elevator, free water bottles, light blocked curtains, clean sheets and towels. Old and decay. Bathtub dangerous high to step in and out just to take a shower. Shower faucet not intuitive, impossible to figure how it worked. No shower curtain therefore floor always wet. Sewer odor seeped into the bathroom, had to call owner who fixed the cap of the drain. Noisy until 4:00 am impossible to sleep without earplugs (yes, it’s located on Walking Street where bars and restaurants blasting loud music. My mistake for not reading reviews closely before booking. Owner told me about the noise but said 7th floor would be quiet! Not true!!!)
- Rodrigo (8/5): Very good -
