Guest Reviews

• James (8/5): - Not elegant but serves the purpose of sound lodging. Central location and friendly staff
• Lailani (2/5): Horrible - I booked for 1 night. Arrived and they said they were over booking. Transferred me to a different hotel which it was a ghetto place. I just lost 1 night of fun in Vietnam coz they transferred me to a farther hotel.
• steven (4/5): - my wife told me never book this hotel again because the Front Desk Manager was mean, rude, and not accommodating to her requests. i have issue w the bathrooms not having hot water in the shower
• Lisa (6/5): - The room was quiet, the lighting in the bathroom was extremely poor as was the roof with peeling paint and stains, the balcony door didnt have handles or open properly as if they were on backwards the yong girl at the counter was so engrossed in her phone it was hard to get her attention to receive the door card following the room. The tv didnt work the guy told me maintenance would be there in 5 minutes 40 minutes later I find that he forgot to tell maintenance who did come straight away and fixed it to perfection the tv and chanels were probably the best experience and although the room was quiet from outside noise my last night there was bad with others slaming doors and yelling half the night definitely not worth the money
• kylie and Paul (2/5): Stay away - Photos on the web do not match the actual hotel, it’s dirty and no breakfast offered even though it says included. They charged us twice as they said the card didn’t work. We stayed one night only because we arrived late found another hotel for the next night and lost money on the two night booking. For the same price we paid we got a lovely hotel with a rooftop pool and breakfast. Don’t recommend this hotel.,
• Jim (8/5): - was just fine
• André (4/5): - On a réservé pour 3 nuit. Première journée la toilette était bloqué, le réparateur est venue et a trouvé une grosse croquerelle dans notre chambre, la 2e journée pleins de petits fourmis dans la toilet, la 3e journée le petit frigo a lâché, j’ai avisé 2 fois à la réception et personne n’est venue. Le déjeuner est pauvre, le lit a un trou au milieu , la toilet dans le lobby sentait très mauvaise
• Kylee (10/5): - The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and easy to communicate with. The property was clean and even offered a light breakfast. Would recommend staying here!
• Michael (6/5): - Price was right. You get what you pay for
• steven (8/5): - Great location
• steven (8/5): - the value and the location are outstanding
• steven (2/5): - care not to say
• steven (6/5): - they shocase a lovely rooftop lounge and restaurant that is non existant i booked our room based on that photograph false and misleading Advertising
• Verified traveler (6/5): Basic hotel - Hotel has no restaurant or bar as stated. Rooms are very basic and old but clean. Limited access to cars to be picked up.
• elizabeth (10/5): - Nice centrally located
• Phan (6/5): - I booked this hotel because the price was too cheap to compared to the location, but after booked, I felt really worried about the previous comments. But this hotel really surprised me in nice way. Receptionist service was quite good, they are 24/7 there. And the room was good enough too, the bed was very soft even though the weight of my Mom and I were very different. The hotel located in a slightly deep alley, car can’t enter and that is the reason why no noise from cars when I am sleeping. But the room's soundproofing system is quite bad because you can hear all the noises from others neighbors room, and the toilet seems a bit damp.
• Sing (8/5): - The best front desk staff! willing to help me with phone app . Speak excellent english. The Hotel name was changed by the time I got there ! Expedia should nofify me in advance ?
• Samuel (2/5): The pictures online do not reflect reality - The pictures online do not reflect reality
• Tu (4/5): - Don't know why Expedia rate this property above average (7.4), and yet Google rating is 1.8/5. It's too bad that this property could have been a great hotel. Pros: 1. Great location. Couple minutes further away from other hotels near Ben Thanh market, brings so many positive things such as better foods for lower prices, especially coffee. More restaurants and bus routes. 2. Good AC and hot/cold water constantly available 3. Good price Cons: 1. No receptionist(s). The "desk" has 2 numbers to call to get info regarding check-in/check-out. If you don't have SIM...then need to get it 1st! In other hotel week before, I was able to check in and the receptionist showed me where to get the SIM. When calling the number, you will be informed of your room, with key...already inserted at the door. Other people can just freely explores the room before me, I guess!??? 2. No door signs for "Do Not Disturb"/"Clean My Room". We encountered the cleaning lady twice during our 8-days stay. She may have been there more times.... 3. Black mold everywhere, in room as well as hallway. Also watermarks from water damages in several areas of the hotel. AC only in room, not hallway; therefore, with the heat in VN, molds happening fast. We have noticed mold area outside the elevator on our floor growing larger and larger everyday! Like I said, this could have been a great hotel, but the cons have outweighed the pros for me. Will not stay again unless all the cons are dealt with.
• Andy (2/5): - Property was in poor condition. Mould all around the sink and walls. Flooring was uneven and peeling. No amenities. TV does not work. Hand to change rooms to a slightly better room. No reception, only a board with a phone to call, good luck if you don’t have a local sim or wifi. Wifi info was not provided either, had to call up for the password. Don’t expect any AHA branding, amenities or other services you’d usually expect. Mosquitoes everywhere, had to buy my own repellent. No tissues and a few pieces of toilet paper were provided. Stains all over the walls, tables, sheets, towels and ceiling. Overall gross and not worth the money
• JUSTIN (2/5): Worst hotel I've ever been to - Not as advertised. Not even remotely close. Broken toilet, black mold, very dirty, strong smell of cigarette smoke. The owner is not very responsive when you call. There are no staff at the location before 2pm. I asked for a refund and they said no. Avoid this place.
• Ashley (8/5): - Staff were very helpful, let us keep our bags there before and after checkout.
• Jimmy (4/5): - Too old
• Tiana (2/5): - The shower head wasn't even attached to the wall! We were given 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper so had to buy more. Towels were not clean at all!! Just gross do not recommend
• Jimmy (4/5): - There were lots of mosquitoes, roaches, moldings in properties. No water or tv. It was a very bad condition
• Richard (6/5): - no front desk and no staff
• William (2/5): Horrible - No reception just a number to call told to wait and had to wait 50 minutes getting bitten by mosquitos ignoring my calls finally answered an told what room to go to and it was open No window as deacribed just a wall Room full of mosquitos had to buy mosquito spray No information give at all had to call for wifi password This hotel is so bad
• Robert Curtis (8/5): - Checking in was extremely inconvenient for me because I didn't have a vietnamese cell phone number at the time to contact the owner so I could be checked in and this hotel doesn't ever have somebody at the front desk to check the guest in. Despite this, the owner of the hotel is very accommodating. The room I stayed in had a very, very comfortable bed, a nice air conditioner that kept the room at a comfortable temperature, and a spacious shower with abundant hot water and VERY above average water pressure. The showers at this hotel are amazing. There were things I didn't like, but at $15 a night, it wouldn't be fair to complain about them.
• R (2/5): - Absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
• Naphatsorn (4/5): - The room I have got is quite old and the toilet is dirty. No staff to ask for anything, you have to contact them via Whatsapp only. I found a lot of hairs stuck on the draining and the mirrors in the shower are looking like they never clean it.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Slightly above average hotel - The hotel is in lane which made it quiet but you might need to search for it. The condition is average for a Boutique hotel. The check in counter is very business like. They have a weighing machine at the lobby which is very useful for weighing luggages. The location is very good for shopping and food.
• John (4/5): Filthy Dirty! - Unfortunately, we could not say that the stay at your hotel was at all enjoyable. The reason being that the hotel is basically dirty! From the reception, into the elevator and along the corridor into the room needs a thorough clean. There is a thick layer of dust on all surfaces in the room, the bathroom ventilator is thick with grime and all of the bathroom surfaces need scrubbing thoroughly. When we arrived into our room, the fridge still had open and half eaten food left behind by previous occupants and half empty drink containers. To be fair, this issue was resolved quickly but there doesn’t appear to be any level of quality control when it comes to hotel cleanliness. Whilst we accept that we didn’t pay for a luxurious hotel, there is no excuse for a hotel being dirty. We hope this e-mail provides information to help improve standards of cleanliness in the hotel for other guests!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The good about this place is just the location which make the price high for hotel star. the water system for hot water is very hot and good. aircon is very good and cold. staff is friendly when i check in, nice feeling when you walk in hotel with good smell. the room i stay a lot patch and fixing in the wall and celing.. it is value for money for it location if someone care about location more.
• Louise (6/5): - The neighborhood is quiet and there’re lots of shops/ restaurants nearby. Ben Tanh Market is also within walkable distance, so the location is quite nice. However, it was a pity that there were a dozen of mosquitoes in our room given the rainy weather, and the staff couldn’t not do much to help as neither mosquito-proof net or electronic swatter is açai me; the bed linen was also partly stained, so overall speaking I do feel a bit disappointed, but it’s understandable for a less costly hotel :p
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Very old and dirty looking. Balcony door was rusty, could not open or close easily. Mosquitoes everywhere. Toilet heater not working, had to call them to repair. Bed was ok. Locker not working. Refused to provide ice. Breakfast was lousy. Most of the service staff could not understand English. Corridor to room was ugly and scary. Location was okay.
• Jessica (8/5): - Location is good. Staff are very nice and helpful but only warm water for shower.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - a room is so dusty,smell the painting on upstair and tap water is weak. All of staff is really nice and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly staff, and a clean room. AC could be a bit colder, but it produces enough chill the room to tolerable levels.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Location great Too bad about renovation going on Staff very good
• Jaedon (10/5): - It was well located, with so much in walking distance. TRIIP also provided all the necessities well.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean, value for money, near to attraction place
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Booked 2 rooms in same hotel but in the end stayed in different hotel and third party hotel is ageing and very small
• M (10/5): - friendly staff, good location, spacious rooms... highly recommended
• Jason (10/5): - Away from crowded roads.. nice and quite environment
• G (4/5): - Let’s face it, this is a very tired hotel struggling on its last gasp as a not-quite-backpacker 2 star. This is all reflected in the price. On the positive side the staff were friendly and the rooms clean, although our shower drain was plugged and overflowed. The room had a window with a wall for a view. Breakfast started 0630 but the hot food was not put out until 7. Location good; friendly English-speaking travel agent in Backpacker across the lane.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Slapdash! - Staff seem incapable of basic pleasantries, the floor was filthy and couldnt be cleaned until the next day. The lift is ancient and seems to get stuck before eventually going up again. Minimal money has been invested, cheap matresses, flooring etc. Bad breakfast, awful coffee. Just not worth the money you pay and I had a discount from hotels.com!
• Ashleigh (8/5): Nice hotel in District 1. - Hotel was nice and clean. Good sized family room with nice big beds. Little bit hard to find- taxi had no idea where it was.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Hell no. - I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Way outdated. Dirty towels. Sheets didn’t fit the bed. I could go on forever.
• jason (8/5): Good location - Amenities, good food and shopping areas are close by
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good service staffs - The staffs service is good
• Verified traveler (4/5): Ok hotel - Compared to some other hotels it wasnt value for money. It was very noisy with a hot water system outside our room turning over all night and the walls are very thin you could hear everything in other rooms. Breakfast was not good at all.
• Melanie (10/5): Clean, quiet and great location. - A surprisingly great location on an alley off the main street. The side street was a very quiet compared to all the other hotels available. Service was great, helpfull front desk. I would stay here again. Breakfast was not outstanding, but it would not influence my stay. 5 miniute walk to the main night club street and more food locations than you can count. Planned on extending my stay but reservations filled up quickly.
• Tina (8/5): Very good hotel for family and value for money - We had a 2 day trip to Ho Chi Minh City, and booked a family suite with this hotel. The price is very good and in fact we were happily surprised by the spacious two connecting bedrooms (1 king bed and 2 single bed in another room). The room is very clean and tidy. Hotel wifi, aircon, and bathroom all very good. We read the review earlier and knew that the breakfast was limited. But we did not really expect too much for breakfast anyway, and in fact the breakfast was descent enough for our family. It is hidden in a quiet alley but not too far from the main road. It is quiet and perfectly convenient for us to travel. The hotel is also near to many good restaurants and cafe for you to relax.
• Dobaba (8/5): Quiet stay in Ho Chi Min City! - Stayed 2 nights. Had a guiet confortable stay in this hotel. Staff,location and amenities good for us. Will recommend to outers.
• Valentine (8/5): - The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was fresh and had a nice variety. The rooms were cleaned promptly each day. Overall a very good hotel.
• stanley (8/5): Good. - i like the place. quiet place and convenience and easy to find food to eat. place to shop. massage . place to drink.. chill up...
• charlie (10/5): Good choice - The hotel is in a good location ( sightseeing spots, shopping, resto etc) The staff are polite and accommodating. They let me check in earlier ( as soon as the room became available) The room I stayed was quiet, clean and comfortable so I could rest well. The breakfast was also great. I’ll be booking with this hotel next time I visit Vietnam. Thank you!
• Colin (10/5): Nice Stay - Value for money, Good location
• Pri (10/5): Nice hotel with good location - Clean spacious room and bathroom. Friendly staff and very helpful. Grest location, close to the market, restaurants and bars.
• Aaron (8/5): Central location - Our flight was delayed so my wife and I arrived at the hotel around 1am. We really appreciated that someone was at the front desk waiting to check us into our room. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and extra charges on mini bar items were clearly written. The hotel is close and within walking distance to nearly everything. But at the same time, it is off into an alley so it is relatively quiet. We walked to Ben Thành Market, The Opera House, along the Saigon River, and many more attractions around District One. We decided we wanted to stay in HCMC one more night but unfortunately they were all booked. We checked into another hotel which was comparable in price but not as nice. Breakfast here isn’t your typical westerners options so we would recommend giving it a try. The menu options didn’t vary much during our two night stay. My favorites were the rice porridge & fresh banh mi. They definitely had the most selection of the hotels we’ve stayed at so far. The view from the breakfast area was also awesome for how affordable the hotel is. Why we give the hotel four stars is because breakfast was not always ready when stated. Breakfast was advertised to start at 6:30 to 9:30. We arrived for their buffet breakfast each day at around 7-7:30 and their food items would still be trickling in until around 8:30. If you are a late sleeper or don’t care for hotel food in a city with amazing food at every corner, we would recommend this hotel.
• Darren (10/5): Really good stay - Really nice hotel in a central location. The rooms were a very nice size, they were cleaned to a high standard every day and the shower was so nice I never wanted to get out of it. The wifi in the room always worked and the bed was really comfortable. The staff were really helpful and the trips they sold at reception were very good value. Only down side is entrance down an ally so taxi unable to get right up to the front, but only about 1 minutes walk from drop off. If going to the airport use the hotels transfer service, good quality and cheaper than a taxi. I can highly recommend thus hotel and would stay again
• anne (6/5): Nice room but disappointed breakfast - The location of the hotel is close to all the main tourist attractions in ho chi minh. Lots of restaurants and cafes easy walking distance. The staffs are lovely and work hard to keep the hotel nice and clean. The only down side is the breakfast. The worst breakfast for the hotel range we stayed.
• craig leslie (10/5): - very friendly staff all around ,not a lot of selection for breakfast
• Wei Xin Lim (8/5): Great stay! Disappointed paid breakfast! - Peaceful location; inside an alley. This is our second stay with this hotel. However, throughout our stay, breakfast was limited as some of the hotel guests were sooooo hungry that they empty the trays of food. Even when the hotel staffs replenishes the food(hot dishes), there was a particular group of guests rush over to empty those trays of foods. Disappointed. Only to manage to get some breads and some salads. To be acccurate, my friend and I was there for breakfast at around 7.30am. There were other hotel guests came after us around 8.15am and they too did not have much for their paid breakfast. I think the hotel management should find a solution to this issue. As we paid for the breakfast for the stay. Overall, our room was great except the" Breakfast Moment".
• Helen (10/5): Great hotel in a good location - We really enjoyed our visit and were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It was clean and spacious with excellent and helpful staff
• Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant stay - Room is standard in size with clean bathrooms and huge bed. Walking distance to shopping areas and halal food. However breakfast needs to be improved and is also not halal. Staffs were friendly and helpful at all times. Housekeeping did a good job in cleaning the rooms.
• chan (8/5): Close to all intresting place - Friendly staff.nice hotel near to all intresting place, breakfast included
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The location not bad, room is clean but the breakfast is the worst
• Verified traveler (2/5): Bad location and bad room - This hotel changed name to Cititel hotel. The location is bad in the alley so you can't carry your luggage to the door. Breakfast was bad room was smelly. Bottom line I wouldn't recommend this hotel while there are many options around the area for similar price
• Kalawin (10/5): Overall great:) - Confused location..but not too far from the market(5 mins walk) but acceptable .. loves the helpful staff(Yang) :) friendly and helpful. Good room! Comfy bed:)
• W.X. Lim (10/5): Wonderful Stay! - Real friendly staffs. Clean room. Strong Wifi signal. Location - inside a quiet alley which totally minimise the typical HCM traffic noises.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good service and clean. easy for back pack.its in central and near to Ben Tanh market. Easy for get food and tours
• Zhi Siong (10/5): Perfect stay for a short getaway - Great location, hidden in an alley, away from the traffic noise! 1 min walk to main road. Amazing hospitality & attention displayed by hotel staff. Will definitely stay here again when i visit again
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quite part of the city - Very helpful staff, our check-in was made efficiently even when we arrived late night. Nice premises and comfortable room.
• Ally (8/5): Great location - Hotel was located in the heart of district one. You can walk just about anywhere. Great base to explore HCM city. It's off the main road, but not deserted; allows for the much needed peace and quiet at night. Breakfast is served from 7.30am to 9.30am. However if you go after 8.30am, you'd find that there's not much food left. The selection is alright. If it's not satisfactory, there's always lots of great cafes around to go to for brunch or street stores just right outside the hotel for breakfast. All in all, a lovely stay. Room is huge and comfortable.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient location, nice room and helpful staff - Hotel has been renamed to Cititel Boutique, and was hard to find. But once we found it, it was a nice, quaint, boutique hotel. Room is small but met our needs. The staff were great, as was the breakfast buffet. Our room was nice, and clean, although we had water leaking from the ceiling in our bathroom which ended up soaking our belongings.
• Jack Sparrow (4/5): Friendly staff but terrible bathroom facilities - The staffs there are very friendly and helpful however, we were not satisfied with the bathroom facilities. We upgraded our room to the grand suite but the shower was disappointing. The hotel is situated at the back alley so getting a cab right at the doorstep was impossible. If u are going there to shop and going back with big heavy luggages, i wont recommend you staying at this hotel.
• Chris (8/5): Tucked in a small alley - Hotel tucked in a small alley from the main road. Away from all the hustle and bustle. Quiet at night. Super effective air con and makes you feel like u are sleeping in igloo. The downside is that there is no window for the room i booked. However, that is personal preference as some people prefer rooms without windows so they can sleep all the way through. Friendly hotel staff. Anyway, the hotel had a change of name and it is currently called Cititel Hotel. Try not to stay out too late (should be back at around 10pm since it turns dark at about 6pm) as the location is in a small alley. Not recommended for solo female travelers as it can be quite dangerous at night since lighting is a little poor. Good for couple or group of friends travelling. FREE breakfast everyday!
• Christine (10/5): Great hotel with excellent staff - The hotel is just off the main streets and that does make a difference. Aside from some loud tourists next door, it was Ho Chi Minh's version of calm and quiet. VERY clean, easy check in/out. I've never had such stellar customer service!! From the moment we checked in (2am which they were totally fine with. They even knew my name and had everything ready). Cannot say enough good things about the staff. Housekeeping was great, free breakfast was plentiful and tasty, and wifi was relatively strong. Close to Ben Thanh market and lots of great food and shopping options. We stayed mostly in and around Ben Thanh and were able to walk everywhere but there were taxis a plenty (vinasun taxi caller was to the right outside. They wear green shirts with red ties). FYI: they just changed their name to Cititel and that is the name on the outside of the building (not Aries). This place was great.
• Fat Siong (10/5): Convenient & comfortable - We had a family room (2 single + 1 king) at 7th floor, basically 2 separate rooms but only 1 bathroom. The room is big & comfortable, no complains for the price. The location was a little surprising, as we need to walk 40m into the alley from the busy roundabout, as our van could not go inside that small street. No major issue but just surprising as we passed by people's homes before getting to the hotel.
• Khoa (8/5): Convinent and cozy - Cozy and city center location
• Verified traveler (6/5): Newly renovated, just change name to Cititel. - Breakfast no good. Staffs very friendly and helpful. hidden in the small lane.
• Earl Anthony (10/5): Doc Natural 714 and Simply Me - The staff was extremely helpful and very sincere. They helped in every matter that arose. From tours to currency conversion.
• Verified traveler (8/5): New hotel name since 01-nov-16: don't be surprise - The hotel has changed name since 01-nov-2016, so do not be surprised when the taxi drops you and you have a few mintes of panic thinking you are in the wring place. Hotel has been recently under renovation, all amenities are brand new and clean. The shower is perfect and beakfast area on the "roof top". Very close to market, with many street food around ( including one of the most famous Banh Mie in the area. Rooms are small qnd breakfast is very basic ( not great), I would recommend to have a coffee or tea at hotel and hit the stresst for local breakfast. Staff very nice and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): good stop over hotel - good for a night stop over, close to everything but situated down an ally. actual facilities compared to similar hotels adequate.
• Verified traveler (8/5): chelsea at the front desk was awesome very helpful - hotel staffs are friendly and helpful.always ready to assist.hotel room is clean and well maintained most importantly very cheap.
• Catherine (2/5): Old Motel Room - More of a motel, thin walls, hot water did not run, room smelled strange, shower water did not go down the drain - Was not a comfortable stay. The only Pro was that it was situated in the city center and walking distance to many city attractions.
• Hui Qin (8/5): good location, room is clean - the location consider good, the room is comfort and clean, it would be better if the breakfast have more choices and the heater for shower is strong enough.
• Tim (6/5): Pretty good, and great location - Pretty nice hotel, only issue was the hot water didn't work in the shower. Otherwise, it has a nice location tucked away off the Main Street.
• CK (10/5): Nice hotel close to the town - Reasonable low price, good location and nice service. Will book this hotel again when come to Ho Chi Minh next time
• DCN (10/5): Very nice boutique hotel - The hotel very nice, modern and clean. The included breakfast is good and fresh and great selection. The only little problem is that main entrance is on a very small street that is not accessible by car. But the little street is quite nice, clean and very quiet. The location is great, close to everything without the croud and dirt.
• Hannah (8/5): Perfectly located city hotel - The staff is wonderful and very eager to help - one of the best I experienced across Vietnam. Breakfast is great, the rooms are spacious and have excellent air conditioning which is a huge plus in 100+ degree weather. Perfect location, walking distance to any place you need to go including restaurants, bars and shopping. Found some weird things in bathroom but easily cleaned. Great value for the low price in a prime spot in the center of the city.

• Verified traveler (8/5): decent stay, value for money accommodation - location is a little off from main road, not the most convenient but not too shabby either staff are friendly and helpful, good "home base" if you're considering self-exploratory trip in the city area amenities are sufficient, and fairly clean place

• Verified traveler (8/5): nice and friendly staff - value for money
• Chris (10/5): My favorite hotel in Ho Chi Minh - Location is amazing. Rooms are clean and spacious.

Great value for money
