A tired, run down hotel in need of improvement
The room was barely recognisable from the Hotels.com photos. A very tired hotel. Rooms not well cleaned - dirty walls and very dusty dirty under and behind the bed. The young unqualified staff worked hard and did their best - the lovely young lady who made breakfast did great omelettes. Got the impression that there’s an absent owner who takes little interest in the business other than to take the profits.

Good by WiFi changes IP address every few seconds
Right in the middle of a tourist place. Could be noisy. The internet connection kept changing the public IP address every few seconds. Could be an issue if you are trying to use remote desktop or SSH, however it should be alright for general browsing or watching youtube videos.

Great Location and Staff
Great location! We were greeted with cold drinks and wet towels upon arrival which was very welcomed and much appreciated. The staff are some of the friendliest we've met on our month long trip through Vietnam and Malaysia. Will bend over backwards to ensure you have a confortable stay. Small hotel, bathroom looks like it has been recently renovated. Downside - noisy but it is expected being on one of the liveliest streets in Ho Chi Minh city. We booked 1 family room for 4 people which turned out to be a bit cramped so if you are travelling as a family best to book two smaller rooms. We initially stayed in 501 but aircon was weak and leaky and bathroom had an unpleasant smell. We were offered other rooms and settled on room (601) which was clean, air con worked well and WiFi was good. We did not have breakfast at the hotel so can't comment. For a small budget hotel we think this represents great value for money. Fantastic service and staff, clean rooms, laundry service provided for a reasonable price and great location. Would recommend for single/couple/backpacker travellers as the area comes to live at night with plenty to see/do/eat right at your doorstep.

So, so lodging.
Not so pleasant male receptionist especially the shorter guy. Room size is not good for those with big luggage. Location is good but noisy area. The 3 nights we stayed, we heard knocking upstairs throughout the night. What it was...is a mystery. The noise seems to have a timing at constant intervals.

Toilet seat broken and did not fix while we were there. Air conditioner didn't blow cold air, lucky for ceiling fan kept a little cool but sounded like a jack hammer. Breakfast pathetic.

One night stay at the most.
We stayed here only for a night so we just wanted a place to crash. The hotel is in a great location but that's the only plus point of the place. The room we got was small and dingy. The AC wasn't working properly and there was only a small fan on the ceiling. The room wasn't particularly clean. The bathroom was in the same condition.

Get your more for your money's worth!
The room was satisfactory. Although we booked for a ground floor room, we discovered there was none and ended up in the 3rd floor (which is actually the 4th floor). Good thing they had an elevator. The staff are very polite and helpful, always ready and available to meet your needs. The hotel is located in what is called the "Western area" by the locals, so foreigners would feel right at home. However, ask for a back room, as the ones facing the street could become noisy, especially on weekends when there are parties in the bars next door. Although, it usually is relatively silent around midnight. I would stay at this hotel again, especially if I am in a group.

Good location, nice staff
The hotel was surprisingly good for the price we paid! Was shocked that the lift was really small but doesn't affect. The room was clean and well kept just that the airconditioning was not cold enough but fortunately, there was a ceiling fan so it was still alright. The bed was slightly hard and being located in a backpackers district, it was rather noisy despite being on the 7th storey. Hotel staff were really nice and helpful! OverLl, i had a really good experience and do not mind staying at this hotel again!

Good location, clean rooms
Overall I was happy with this hotel. Excellent location which is right in the middle of the tourist area, short walk to the shops and market with lots of places to eat nearby. The rooms were very clean. Only thing to improve is the a/c as it was not working properly, even after a member of staff attempted to fix it, however the room had a good fan so the room could still be made cool.

Good Location
We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights at the end of November 2013. The hotel is located within the backpackers area of Siagon so is well located to meet others on vacation. It is located close to all the attractions and site seeing areas in District 1. The hotel is very basic and a bit run down, but we only really needed somewhere to lay our heads for the night, and at the price we paid it is well worth the money. If you are looking for creature comforts, I wouldn't recommend this hotel, but if your on a budget or just want something cheap and near the local attractions, then this is ideal.

Room mix up
We had booked a family room and were given a superior room instead. When we brought this up with management on the first day they told us "You do not need the family room as there are only 3 of you". The family room was able to sleep 4 people, and although we had paid for this, they did not supply the room - but a room that would sleep 3 peopel as that is all we had travelling. the room was 10m2 smaller than the one we had paid for.

Top value hotel in a great location!
For this price range, you could not ask for better service. The owner? Bal, speaks perfect English and is more than happy to offer advice on every topic you could need, plus he and his staff are all just generally awesome people. Rooms here were basic, but clean. Comfy bed and all the amenities work plus the location is perfect. I'm sure you an get slightly cheaper in this area but for the small price difference, I would recommend this place. Safe, affordable and trustworthy people you can feel good giving your money to. - C & K - Melbourne

Hotel is in the middle of tourist hot spot . Very convinient. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room is ok clean enough for the price but very noisy at night. My room was facing the street and u can hear the traffic all night. Did not sleep the whole night but I think other rooms in the back maybe more quiet.

建物全体としてはやや古く、特にエレベーターにその古さを感じた。 部屋自体はかなりかなり綺麗で清潔な印象。 施設、設備として残念なのは、シャワーの水温が低めだったことと、wifiが不安定・やや速度不足だった。 ネット環境については、各階毎にルーターがあるようなので、宿泊階によって変わる可能性がある。 自分は7階宿泊でした。 他のレビュー者が書かれていますが、立地が立地だけに夜中までうるさいです。 ただし、自分がどんな場所にどんな価格帯のホテルを確保したかを考えれば当然の結果だと自分は思うので、気にする事はありませんでした。

(Count as G/1/2/3/4/5) Narrow stairs. Air conditioner works, but lead time half hour needed. Shower water pressure is rhythmical. Has window but view is wall of next building.

Хорошое расположение, в остальном - шарага )
В принципе, по описанию - все есть. Но! ТВ не работал, сейф то же. Ради интереса открыл крышку сейфа, где батарейки - батарейки окислились. Нам они были не нужны, потому наплевать. Все обшарпанное, видны отверстия от старых розеток с обрезанными проводами. Есть балкон. До 2-х ночи музыка из баров и визги- крики. Ну примерно до 2-х. Не помню, во-сколько легли и во-сколько уснули) Да, и самое главное, из-за чего я бы никогда больше его не взял, это полторы рабочих розетки для зарядки девайсов. Девайсов было 4 (два планшета, два телефона). Еще возможно могли быть фотоаппарат и плеер. Одну розетку заняла подруга, а я минут 10 был электриком. Вторая, симметричная, с другой стороны кровати, была дохлой. Розетка, куда включены ТВ и минибар, находилась за панелью стола, на котором этот ТВ стоял, и чтобы туда что-то засунуть, пришлось бы отодвинуть ТВ, минибар, стол и шкаф, так как шкаф привинчен к столу (или наоборот). Розетка, которая около раковины, туда вилка не лезла. Но, обследовав все остальные, и поняв, что она последний шанс, все таки я засунул туда вилку, раза с десятого, сделав это нежно и очень сильно )) Так что вот. А так, отель в начале улицы Vien, из-за расположения и взял, на одну ночь. До этого несколько дней назад, 2 ночи брали Mini 5 Hotel на той же улице, он был посвежее, порабочее, потише, только маленький номер и узкая душевая комната.
