I stayed here for 3 weeks during my vacation in VN. The hotel is very safe, clean, and affordable. Hope they can change the pillows to the softer ones, but I brought my own pillow so I can sleep well with it. Another down side is the room is not sound-proof so you have to be mindful about that.

Alright for the price
Were fine with us arriving at 1am (entrance has a big gate in front of it). Friendly and helpful service. Beds and pillows not soft but we slept okay on them. AC worked well. There was a very small lizard (possibly a gecko) in our bathroom at one point, but we weren’t too bothered by it being there. Overall it was fine for the price - it is and looks like a cheap hotel.

A family own, nice family - close to TIA Airport and located in a quiet street,steps from the major street named Le Van Sy. The staff specially TOM (who always gives me good trip where to go or get good food like Pho), are friendly and can communicate good English. They clean and change towels, bed sheets almost daily, and they even put 2 bottles of water in your room everyday. I will stay in the same hotel when i go back to Ho Chi Mihn in the future.

Inexpensive, quiet, clean. Exactly what I wanted.
The owners and management of this hotel took good care to make sure my stay was as comfortable as it could be. Quiet location but still in the heart of a noisy city. I’ll be returning to this hotel on my next stay.

Decent shower and sleep after a long journey
We booked Thien Vu as it is 10 mins from HCMC airport and after over 24 hours travelling we were glad to get somewhere easy and close. As we were arriving at 2am, I emailed Thien Vu to ask if this was ok and communication was fast and helpful ‘yes we are open 24/7 and will be expecting you’, and also sent a map with route from the airport to make sure our taxi driver didn’t take us around the world (he tried anyway but in the end it was only $4, as Thien Vu said it should be). A person we met on our flight shared our taxi and was able to get a single room at Thien Vu at 2am! Great! They got us an Uber in the morning to central HCMC with suggestions of where to find our next place to stay. Overall very happy. Bed was a little hard but no big deal at all.

Quiet and clean
Hotel is tucked away in an alley thus is away from traffic noise and pollution. Room is somewhat small but functional. One thing that stands out is cleanliness. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Short walk from the hotel to many eateries and shops and a market. Good value for the money. I will stay here again.

Nearby airport hotel.
I booked here since my flight landed after midnight, it was 2:30am that I got to the hotel. I was surprised that the waiting staff took my bags up three flights of stairs. The front desk had been very helpful, advising where to find nearby good eating establishments as this is in the suburbs after all. The room is large, with amenities such as hair dryer and desk lamp, small fridge. If not for the distant location from downtown actions, I'd opt for this hotel during all my stay there.

At Least the Room was Clean
It's hard to find much to like about this place and I really did try. PRO's : Air Con, Satelite TV, Daily Room Cleaning & the room was a reasonable size, The area is very authentic : I saw only 4 other Westerners in a week so it's nothing like District 1 or Ben Tanh. CON's: No exhaust fan in bathroom (which was not great as a single but as a couple I think this would be really embarrassing and stinky) . With the exception of the owner who only seemed to be there mornings none of the front desk staff had any real interest in assisting you or did they speak any English and when asking for directions you were met with blank stares or incorrect directions. The bed was rock hard and the pillows were half sized and just as hard. I had to go out and bought my own. In summary I would only recommend this hotel to a young, seasoned traveler on a tight budget. Good Luck !

I liked this hotel!
Very friendly ,helpful staff. Great location ,close to airport. Its kind of hidden on a small street. The hotel is a little dated and that adds a bit of character and charm. Lots of great places to eat close by. If your looking for pretty and glamor you should check in at a 5 star hotel. If you want a richer experience that will add to your Vietnamese vacation, give Thien Vu a chance.

The staff is very nice. The room is so old very far from district 1 like 45 min. The location is very bad.a lot of bad drunk and stiling happen in that area. The way they post location hotel they didn't post which location district hotel in so they trick travel, but like I say the staff is very nice

Good value for an airport overnight
Booked here to be close to the airport for an early flight out of Saigon. This hotel was good value. The desk staff was there for our late arrival and early check out and ready to help. The room was clean and comfortable. It's a bit worn out with thin sheets and towels and some stains on the chairs. The fluorescent light buzzed loudly. The door to the bathroom is a thin accordion of plastic. But it was cheap and it was good for a night.

Great budget hotel
The staff here are amazing. The service is great since room service is available that specializes in local Vietnamese Cuisine that is very good. Laundry service is reasonable. The front desk has English speaking staff and they will do anything to help you. The rooms are clean and you don’t have to ask anyone to clean your room every day. They always clean your room quickly. The business seems to be family run and they take pride in the cleanliness of the facility and customer service. The hotel has good hot water, air condition, and strong Wi Fi. The only thing that may bother some people is the construction next door which usually starts around 7 am. Unfortunately, this is out of the hotels control. They do make sure everything is quiet at night so you can rest. Overall I found it to be a wonderful place to stay with very friendly people. I ended up staying here for two weeks and would gladly use this hotel again. I feel like they should receive more than a one star rating because their service is better than many three star hotels.

Booked this hotel just to sleep overnight between flights - it served the purpose. Cab was around 60k each way. Close to a busy street with lots of restaurants available. Room was clean and air conditioned. I asked the hotel staff for a taxi at 3am the next morning - they said no problem but then called at 3am after I woke them up and the cab didn't arrive until almost 3:20 so give yourself enough time.

Worth a visit. Well priced, good staff.
I really liked Thien Vu, from the outside it has a 50's American bubble gum style. The staff were great, charming & accommodating, room a good size. I chose this hotel for the price & because we were only going to be staying one night but would happily stay there again. Local shops & street food, which was worth exploring in depth & turned out to be more interesting to us than the town centre.

So many mosquitos and no windows!
This place was absolutely infested with mosquitos. It looked like someone had been using the place long term right before I had arrived and it did not look like it had been cleaned at all. After my initial check in, the staff were not very friendly and had a dog that growled and barked at me when I walked through the lobby. Cheap and close to the airport, but not worth it.

Friendly and comfy hotel but not great location
The hotel was very good though the location is not the best. It's not very close to the museums or market; 15 minutes taxi ride. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff could not have done any more for us. We booked 2 different rooms over 3 nights and they made the move very easy helping us with our bags. Though the food menu could be improved I would still recommend this hotel.

I would return
Very nice! I arrived early, and they let me check in to a better room then I had booked for free. Tam (goes by Tina) is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. I don't have any real negatives. You can find fancier places and post accordingly, but this was comfortable with great service. I usually like to have an actual blanket, but in many SE Asian hotels, they just basically have a sheet. I can't fault them on this, as they might have had one if I asked.

Nice place to rest when getting into HCMC late!
Thien Vu Hotel is a family owned hotel which has been in business for over 10 years. The owners are awesome and helpful. The hotel is a bit dated but not bad over all. The neighborhood is very "local" and busy. The only thing to beware of is the location of the hotel. There is a sign for the hotel at the beginning of the street so cab will drop off there if you don't know better. That is NOT the Thien Vu Hotel. It is a personal residence and is pretty rustic. I was worried I made a mistake by booking the hotel. To my relief, it was not the hotel I booked. The Thien Vu Hotel is down the street and on a side road on the right. YOu'll be pleasantly surprised and relieved to find the correct hotel. Drop your Western standards and expectation and you'll find this hotel is a gem with service.

地元民の中で泊まれる醍醐味
日本にあるビジネスホテルより少し古い感じはするが、従業員自体が良いことと、足りないものがあれば現地民価格でものが売られているので安心。メインから少し離れているだけなのでバスで気軽に移動できるのがまた良い。
