The best thing about the Vien Dong is the location on Pham Ngu Lao and it's proximity to Bui Vien St and other attractions like the Ben Thanh market. I was able to walk to all the sights I wanted to see, though taxis are cheap (if you stick to the right names) and widely available. My room was spacious... More

This hotel is a classic hotel, a little dated but with very good service. Rooms are nice, great views, and good a/c. Carpets are a little old but the rest worked fine. Good service and breakfast was just ok, nothing spectacular.

We did a last minute walk in and found this hotel worth a stay. for 50 USD two pax and 70 USD for three pax. Good International breakfast and comfortable beds. The guy at the reception helped us with some tours to do on the next day. Located at the backpacker district and Night market is just around the corner.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights after a very busy trip. The hotel location was perfect for us, opposite the park and in the middle of the back packer district. There is nothing 'back packer' about the hotel though. The lobby was cool and stylish and the bar served a range of drinks. They even had a pianist on one... More

Very clean, comfortable and centrally located. Most attractions were within walking distance. The reception area was large and modern but the bar is a small area to the right of reception and in 5 days I never saw anyone use it, not much of an atmosphere. The breakfast in the mornings had plenty of variety in cereals, muffins, juices ,... More

We spent several individual nights in the hotel during our trip to Vietnam. We booked superior rooms and stayed in the following rooms: 808, 806, 608. The rooms are spacious, clean and have windows towards to main street. Even facing a park area there is traffic noise 24 hour and loud music. Other rooms have windows towards an atrium which... More

This hotel is exactly what it say on the brochure. The front rooms (facing the park) are large and airy however The Vien Dong Hotel is situated opposite the busiest park I have ever seen. Activities start at about 4.30 each morning with very loud megaphoned aerobic music! This continues with other activities throughout the day, so be prepared to... More

This is a very nice, well kept and centrally located 3 star tourist hotel. Our room ,812, was directly across from the park which gave a very nice view during the day. However, at night, the park had special “Food Tastes of the World” with many people wandering about and eating from the stalls accompanied by very loud music. Fun... More

I was wondering how this would go as it is in the Backpacking area but it was fantastic. The rooms were excellent and not too small. The breakfasts were excellent plus. We stayed two nights but I would have loved to have stayed longer. The staff especially the doorman were 15 out of 10.
