Very Good

The hotel is comfortable. We arrived late night and just spent a night and it's good enough for a short trip. It's located at a very happening with lots of bars and a busy district but the street of the hotel is quiet. There are many restaurants and right at the corner there is a very nice and tasty restaurant selling Pho call Pho Quynh.
The stuff were very kindly. So we could enjoy our trip. We will recommend the hotel.

They gave away our booked room before we got there, and had none left for us when we arrived. Doors locked and no one around so had to call in to find that out. Ended up stranded on the street. And was still charged for the room (have since received a full refund).
Someone smoked in our room before us. Rooms were filthy. Other peoples shoes under the bed including a pack of cigarettes. Floors were filthy - turned our feet black. Room reeked of cigarettes.
This hotel is located in the alley where car/taxi cannot get in. There is no staff in person for you to check in. The gate is locked and has a sign with phone number for you to call for check in. The staff is somewhere else. You have to call and they will asked you to wait for couple minutes for them to come to see you. For my case, they made me to wait for hour in the heat outside on the street and didn’t show up. I had to go to look for different hotel even though I had already paid at the booking. This hotel looks very suspicious and unsafe to stay.
Check in war erst nach 18 uhr
An Rezeption war nie jemant zugegen
Auf der Strasse vor dem Hotel nach der Tel.Nr.für die Rrzeptionistin gefragt
Alles in allen nie wieder
Rezeption war bei der Anreise und Abreise nicht besetzt .
Zimmer waren um 14 Uhr noch nicht bezugsfertig, erst ab 17 Uhr und von der Rezeption war niemand erreichbar.
Schlüssel haben wir bei der Abreise einfach auf den Tresen gelegt.
Zustand der Zimmer, war von ordentlich bis eins katastrophal.
grande chambre au calme, confortable (en particulier plusieurs tablettes)
matelas du lit un peu usagé sur les bords (on s'y enfonce en s'asseyant sur le bord du lit)
la connexion wi fi est parfois interrompue
aménagements aux standards européens
Clean quiet place to stay in the backpacker area. Friendly staff. We would stay again.

Generally quiet alley location In busy area
Positive check in and orientation to hotel and local area by reception clerk. Staff polite and accommodating. Arrived at night and the front doors were being locked o prevent theft as ithe hotel is close to a walking street / bar area.
Had a room on first flloor behind hotel desk, which resulted in some noise at night as the hotel also backs onto another alley. However, despite being only a few blocks from some noisy bars, most people in the alley try to keep the noise down between 11:00 and 07:00 to enable reasonable sleep.
Despite some noise experienced due to first floor location and single glass windows, managed to sleep well. The hotel is quite central - only needed to walk 50-100 meters to find a reasonable restaurant. There are other small hotels in same alley.
The best part is likley the location, as close to nightlife, but also a reasonable walk to other parts of the city.
Toppenställe, trevlig personal, rena och rymliga rum, superbra dusch, perfekt läge, bra frukost och underbart kaffe med fresh milk. Kommer gärna tillbaka

Good location in district one
Got taxi from bus stn...use the green taxis or sign up for lift, taxis can be rip offs. The taxi will drop you off at the alley entrance. Down the alley are many hotels..this is about 100m in
Great staff...no elevator. Room had small window but was clean with modern decor Staff provided maps and recommendations
Got there early and left bags, told check in at 1. Arrived at 2 and had to wait over half hour more...not impressed...
apart from that was ok. Room could be better cleaned though...

Good for a short stay hotel
It was my first time to Ho Chi Minh City,if you are on a budget a backpacker or just need some where to sleep while in transition than this hotel is the perfect place to stay,but if your not a backpacker and not on a very low budget than i suggest you choose somewhere else like a hotel with pool resort and spa,The hotel staff were great very helpful, you could ask them any question and if they didn't know they would go out of their way to find out,Tips use GRAB UBER to get around it is the cheapest and safest way to get arround
Perfect location, close to Bui Vien Street but not disturbed by the noise. Easy to find our way around the city from the hotel & pop back whenever we needed a rest. Ms Mimi is very kind & helpful. As were all the staff. We extended our stay by one night so that my son could join us & freshen up for our onward flight to Hanoi.
The only down side was the breakfast which was a limited choice & could have been more.
For a cheap hotel in the back packers area it served us well & we would stay there again.
Sehr freundlicher und guter Service. Mitten im Backpacker viertel.
Tolles Hotel um auchTouren günstig und in guter Qualität in ganz Vietnam durchzuführen.

깨끗하고 친절한 직원들.
근데 E/V 없어서 힘들지만 가격과 방상태는 양호합니다.
참고로 저는5층에 묵었는데 힘들었습니다.
2층은 조리도가능하게 콘도식으로되어 있네요.
The rooms were clean. No elevator, so I had to climb 5 stories, but I had o problem with that. Staff very helpful and friendly. Close to nightlife, and close enough to Bin Tanh Market - about 15 minutes walk. Quiet at night even though close to action (2 minutes). Rented a motorbike from the Hotel for reasonable price - $8/day. Overall I was satisfied with my stay considering that it was cheap in price but had everything I needed.
