Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Very good location. All staff are very polite and smiles at and greets you every time they see you. They offered me a free iced tea while I was using the computer at the lobby which I thought was very thoughtful . Rooms are promptly and thoroughly cleaned everyday. They have softer beds/pillows/blankets... More

We stayed here 2 nights and they arranged the cu chi tunnels tour and 2 days 1 night mekong delta tour which was excellent value for money. The rooms are clean and for the location and price they are excellent value. The people at reception bent over backwards to help you out. Cash only at this hotel is the only... More

Dont expect love at first site at this hotel, it has a rough edge. But it is clean, comfortable and basic. We paid 20 usd a night, and for that price we got more then we expected. It's well located, less then a block away from a major tourist street, although it took us a day to figure that out.... More

We got the family room which was a double and a single bed, to give us a bit of space. The hotel is close to the Bui Vien tourist strip, but MUCH quieter (something we only appreciated when we stayed in another hotel on the strip!). Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. The best breakfast pho we found in all... More

We stayed in this hotel 2 times. At the beginning and at the end of your Vietnam trip. The hotel pick up waited for us 2 hours, because we had a delay and also had to wait for the Visa on arrival to be finished. There was no problem at all, the driver waited and greeted us (with his limited... More

We loved this hotel! Stayed here one night by chance as the relative hotel - Hello Hotel experience a technical issue with our online booking. The hotel is clean, centrally located (a stone throw from main backpacker road) and has a great breakfast. It's easy to find and we had a great experience, start to finish. Would definitely stay here... More

Clean rooms, AC, and very close to the tourist drag. No safe in the room. We were met with tea and fruit on our first day. Very helpful staff. Bring your earplugs if you are sensitive to noise (there seems to be a rooster nearby). We left our bags here on our final day while taking a tour. We didn't... More

I chose this hotel based on good reviews, location and budget. I feel it offers great value for money given it's position just off the tourist strip. The staff were just lovely and made my 5 night stay in March very pleasant. It is a 2 star hotel so adjust your expectations accordingly. But it is clean with reasonable size... More
