Totally satisfactory. I am fastidious about cleanliness and I was satisfied with the room, which was very clean. No unusual odors or any other red flags. A/C was strong. The staff was very servicial and friendly . Upstairs on the fourth floor they have a breakfast area where they can make American style breakfast (fried eggs and coffee). And they can book a taxi or Uber-type car service to take you to the airport or wherever. Definitely would stay here again.

Nice location, excellent staff, disappointing room
Staff were absolutely fantastic and couldn't rate them higher!!!!! Bed and pillows uncomfortable, glass door only to bathroom meaning little toilet privacy. Rooftop restaurant very pretty but mostly abandoned and the one time we ate there the food was terrible. Also the restaurant is only open 9am to 5pm which was inconvenient (not that I'd eat there again). Overall OK. Staff very helpful though.

We had a pleasant stay at this family run hotel.
The service was very friendly. It is located about 15 minutes (by taxi) out of the main tourist area which is what we wanted. We enjoyed our experience here as it was more typically Vietnamese than the general tourist experience of other districts. If this is what you also want to try then this may also be the hotel for you. I think it is true to it's star rating - some rooms could do with a coat of paint! Most restaurants/eateries are Vietnamese, however, there is a restaurant set in a garden atmosphere very close by (called Sorentos, I think). Here you can get a beer and a mix of Western & Vietnamese food. The eating areas are both outside and indoors (AC).

Nice Hotel in Local District
This hotel was a nice place to stay. Although it’s a little far from where all of the action is (District 1), it is still a very cute hotel in the middle of the local district where you can see authentic Vietnamese culture. The staff was helpful and the rooms were clean!

Amazing hotel in Saigon
I was at the end of 3 and a half months of traveling when i arrived in Saigon, I intended to spend 4 days in Saigon and and use the last 8 days to check out Hanoi and other parts. I booked Minh Chau Hotel because the price was so good. It's not in the main back packer area which you may think is a negative but is actually the best thing in the world. It costs a couple of dollars in a taxi to get to where all the parties and madness are but it so great being able to leave all that at the end of the night and go back to such a nice place. The staff are so great, very personable, i decided after meeting them that i would see out the end of my trip here and catch Hanoi another time. Great coffee shop across the road from the Hotel, you'll have a great time!

A Fine Stay
I had a very nice stay here. I arrived quite late and needed to wake the receptionist to check in. He was cheery and pleasant even though I had awakened him. My room was comfortable and clean. The hotel itself is a close walk to a convenience store, a long walk to the highlights of the city, or a 10 minute ride via taxi. Pretty convenient if you ask me. Minh Chau Hotel is a good choice for a comfortable, affordable stay.

Location only for Local
Location primary for local NOT good for traveler. I booked here because it close to my friend home. If you are new to SG then you have to stay near Ben Thanh district where you can walk and see the city in a snap shot. With the same price in Ben Thanh area. This location only good for me to close to family house, otherwise you get lost around here. Facility need upgrade, if you book here, certainly away from other interesting areas then you have to use taxi to get there. Not a value "Motel" overall. I hope other travelers aware of the location issue, this would make your exploration limited in compare with Ben Thanh district while you can book many "Hotels" which also included breakfast with the price you pay at this location is without the breakfast. As a travel agent point of view, this not meet standard for my clients.

Dear guest, I have to say you are wrong or one side persons. 1, far, no, we are 5km from airport & 3km to all tourist sites in downtown. 2. This hotel is 80% is foreighers, not only for local or suitable for local, you are wrong again. ( do you know foreigner if they stay in D1, just see high building, no local life experience, is it fun for them? ) 3. You are standard of not tourist persons, tourists want to see local life, near Minh Chau, so many local cheap cafe food, price cheapers up to 50% compare to near ben Thanh market as you said, do you know this? Last but not least, i can't say any with wrong or one side person like you. Don't expect you stay again

Here was a good hotel,but a little change happened
The room is very clean and the staffs are so friendly. There is a beautiful restaurant with green plants on the top roof. The location is very silent at night. A local market near here and a convenience store is nearly. However, there are no hair dryer, electric water boiler, free water, tea, coffee, cups and bath big towel insides the room. Their Wi-Fi speed is very slow and not easy to connect. The TV is a traditional big type with very bad signal instead of LCD. Here was a good hotel, but It change a new boss on 2016-01. It seems that he or she doesn’t maintain here like before.

Good value, interesting area, lovely staff
We stayed a total of six nights in this hotel, four when we arrived in Vietnam and then we booked for another two nights when we returned to Saigon. It is clean and comfortable with airy, spacious rooms and good air conditioning (a must in HCMC), plus a fridge. What really sets this place apart from other budget hotels is Holly and the rest of the staff, who are extremely helpful and do their best to ensure you enjoy your stay. While there are no tea or coffee making facilities, we asked for a kettle and bought our own supplies from the convenience store (there are two within 50m of the hotel), where you can also buy beer. The towels are a bit thin, but very clean, and you may want to purchase a big bar of soap (those supplied are very small, and ours fell down the plug hole!), but these are very minor things to us.While the hotel is about a 30-40 minute walk ($5 cab ride) from the main tourist area, we loved the location, as we felt it was a more genuine HCMC experience. We enjoyed walking down the alleyways and meeting the local people. Do try the local eateries and street stalls (no, we didn't get sick), and there are two good barbecue restaurants in the street. If you can't understand the menu, just point at something in the window or at someone else plate. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and thought it was great value for money.

Friendly and welcoming. We arranged a tour to Cu Chi tunnels which was great as fantastic tour guide Frank, made the trip very memorable and enjoyable. Room was clean. Rooftop Restaurant had a limited menu as we were only guests there, but tasty food, and a great place to watch the lightening show. A bit of a way out of town, but walkable or 60 000 d taxi.

Good Value Hotel, Though Far from the Centre
A decent hotel with pretty good rooms. The bed was comfortable and the staff helpful, though not as eager to please as other places in the country. You get good value for your money, as it is quite reasonably priced for an actual hotel in the city. While there is plenty of street food around for both breakfast and dinner option, note that the hotel is nowhere near any of the tourist sights in the city, and you will either have to walk more than 30 mins or take a taxi to the city centre.

Good value for your money
The hotel staff is the best feature of the hotel. It's a little far away from the action and you can take a taxi, but at night it could be a bit costly. The breakfast menu is limited and they need to increase it. Overall, it's a good value for your money.
