This is a low budget hotel there is a restaurant under the rooms to reach the rooms you need to walk through to the stairs no lift and walk up to your room rooms are very clean and tidy but basic facilities they have air conditioner fridge small bathroom 🚽 very nice and clean tv queen size bed
It wasaweful... we landed in Ho chi minh at 11:30. When grab dropped us, we were looking for hotel... it was actually, walking into a restaurant, and they greeted us in front of customers eating food... theres no reception greeting as hotels.com states in the detail. It was awkward as we were two mom and daughter alone and didnt want to deal with this in middle of night... please dont go if you are females. Ok for males. .
Really nice place with a very central location. Lovely staff and clean room, only recommendation, there is no elevator so if you struggle with stairs request a room on a lower floor
This is basically some rooms above a restaurant, there is no reception, no information on trips or similar. Ignore the pictures, the rooms are very basic and dated. Would not stay again, even for the cheap price.
Room looked like bikers kicked the door in and trashed the place, hair everywhere. Do not recommend. Nicer places 10 metres away for same price

Không phải là khách sạn, nên các bạn không nên tốn tiền vào những nơi như này.
Tên khách sạn không như trang web, không lễ tân, dưới tầng là địa chỉ một tiệm ăn. Cách đang ký khách sạn không đúng.
Having arrived late at night at 1am, the reception have no fuss with my booking and provided me with the keys. There are no lifts but it is fine with me. The rooms are standard with good cleanliness. However, the windows to the balcony cannot be closed properly so there is potential for burglars. The conditions of the windows also caused me to wake up at 7am in the morning due to the traffic honks. Otherwise is a good stay.
porter/bell hop - does not provide this service
*previous foyer/ reception area removed and filled with 10 game machines -current reception desk is small desk with a computer on it
*inside my room the sliding glass doors fell out of frame of 2 occassions - a major hazard that could injure a person
*room was not cleaned daily - usually every second day
*no flat sheet - just a fitted base sheet - donna cover was so thin as were pillowcases
*no bottled water provided
*no slippers - thongs yes
*toilet paper not in dispenser
*no tissues
*not a family hotel as hotel rents ground floor rooms to prostitutes on a casual basis

This is a very well located old building in District 1. The place is tired and a bit run down, but everything works. We were on the 5th floor and could hear the entire city through the closed windows, but I suspect that's most rooms with windows facing the action, especially in older buildings. Staff were friendly.
