Very nice hotel for those not spending a lot of time hanging around the hotel, as there are very limited facilities. The hotel is around 12km from the city centre, but the cost of getting to the city by bus is only 6,000VND (around 50c US) The staff are very friendly an always helpful.

For the area I needed to be in it was ideal. Not enough tourist related things in the area. But the staff was very pleasant and helpful. English is not great but I'm used to working with that so it worked for me. Room was clean and I've yet to find a low-cost hotel that has had hot water for showers.

This hotel is way out of from the city centre. The bathroom fittings were cracked and there were little insects. The bed was like concrete so in the end we moved to the City Hotel near the market.

after the long journey, all what was wanted was a good, relaxing sleep, but alas on the bed provided it was impossible, as i awoke after about 3 hours as stiff as a stiff. the room was like a small dark hovel. could not open minute barred window and the bathtub size balcony door which by the way had the windows painted!!!! aircon was warm to say the least, as was the 'hot water' bathroom was small and dangerous. you needed to needed to be a basketball player to reach the storage space above the wardrobe. the facilities to write for example a postcard were non existent. i can go on and on, but i have not got the inclination to do so. ok i give in, a plus point - the staff were cordial i was booked in for 13 days, but left after 2.

Room was ok size, but bed was noisy. Had mood lights, could have white lights, pink, or purple. The stay was fine, only complaint was that the bathroom door needed to stay shut cause it smelled of sewer. If you had to go, you gag.

It was a clean basic hotel but when you consider the price it was well worth it and although the receptionist knew very little English he was very friendly and helpful and we loved the location. It was a distance from central city but it gave us a real look at Vietnam without being distracted by tourists. Thank you for our stay.

A place just to sleep.
Just a one day stay in Ho Chi Minh. This hotel is quite far from the city (about 45min to 1 hour via bus). No restaurants near the hotel (if there is I guarantee they cannot speak English). The lady at the counter doesn't know much about where to go or what bus to take to the city, how far is it from the Cu Chi Tunnel etc. I would not stay again here as it's not so convenient for a traveller like me.

観光客向きでは無いホテル
価格に惹かれて予約しましたが、中心街から遠すぎます。周りには旅行者に役立つようなものは何もありません。部屋はこの価格なら良い方だと思いますが、うらぶれ感がします。鶏や他の動物の鳴き声がうるさいです。ホテルのスタッフもあまりやる気が感じられず、総合的に評価は低いと思います。中心部で探したほうが良いと思います。

フレンドリーで親切なスタッフ
とにかくスタッフはみないつでも笑顔で親切です 英語はあまり話せないようでしたが、コミュニケーションはとれました 知らない単語だと紙に書くよう勧めてくれたりして、こちらの希望になんとか応じたいという様子がわかりました 場所は1区からは遠いです でもバス停がホテルのすぐ前で、ベンタイン市場行きやチョロン行き、ドンコイ通りの近く行きなどのバスが頻繁にあるのでまったく不便はありませんでした バスのなかからいろんなところを見られるので楽しかったです バスは１回の乗車が55円と格安です バス路線図がダウンロードできますのでそれを使っていろいろ行きました 滞在中1度もタクシーは使いませんでした バスはぼられる心配もないので安心です 部屋はとても古く、日本人の感覚からは汚いと感じるレベルかもしれません でも東南アジアをよく旅行されるかたなら平気だと思います

旅行日程に余裕がある人向けのホテル
非常にいいホテルだと思いますがホーチミン市の中心地からバスで1時間ぐらいかかるのでロケーション的に短期間で観光をしようとする場合には不向きな場合が多いと思うのとグーグルマップで調べたらば5キロぐらい離れた場所がでたので場所がわかりづらいかもしれないです。

ホスピタリティのあるスタッフ
一人旅で3泊しましたが、まず繁華街から遠いです。確認しないで予約してしまったのですが、いろいろ観光して、戻ってくるのは一苦労です。注意して下さい。ただその分静かではあります。 清潔感はありますが、中はところどころボロボロです。値段相応といえば相応です。部屋の中に置いてあるスナック菓子は有料なので注意してください。 このホテルのいいところはスタッフがとくに親切です。相談事はすべて笑顔で対応してくれます。 どのスタッフもとにかく笑顔で優しいです。英語がわからなくてもGoogle翻訳で対応してくれます。 こちらから多くを言わないでも、すべて解決してくれます。

親切なスタッフ
スタッフは親切で英語が余り話せない私の話も理解しようとしてくれる。部屋は綺麗だしベランダからの眺めが良い。中心部から離れてる為静か。ベッドメイクも毎日確認してから入る。ホーチミン中心部のバスターミナルまではホテル目の前のバス停から27番に乗り終点まで行けば良いので便利、5000ドン、車掌さんに支払う。ホテル横の屋台風食堂は何を食べても美味しいが一度蚊に刺されたので虫除けは必要。ホテルでベトナムコーヒーのアイスを飲んだら1時間でお腹を壊したコーヒーはホットにするべき。ホテルスタッフは皆いい感じです。両隣の店もぼったくりも無くノンビリしていて良い。

Very nice and clean hotel, the room hade new furniture and felt renovated recently. Nice balcony with view over the city. The hotel is on a very long big street, look for the 3G pole in the middle of the street it is close to that on the other side of the road, a bus stop is also very close to the hotel on the road leading out from the city. it has a neon sign "Phuong Thao" on the top of the building which is one of the highest on the street. Very firendly, helpful and charmy girls in the reception, even helped me to find the post office and helped me post mail to other countries. Walk around the backstreets and experience real Vietnam and real Vietnamese food. Taking the bus to the city only cost about $0.25 ! that is cheap, and unlike other countries you can buy tickets on the bus. Very good value and standard for the money on this hotel. 10 min down the road with bus towards the city there is a hughe mall complex called "Big C" or something like that, it is just like any other modern city mall with pizza hut, supermarket, cinema and everything in between. A bit far from city centre, but you can take a bus very cheap. Number 65 into the city market or number 13 I think it was also goes into the city. Taxis are quite expensive comparably to other prices. Not many people can speak english, only a few words often.

最高のホテルです。高級ホテルなどよりこっちを選択すべきだと思います。
１．スタッフが素晴らしい！信用できる。協力してくれる。 自分はタクシーに荷物を置き忘れそのまま紛失してしまいました。大切なものが紛失したので警察や領事館と回りましてベトナム語が話せないのが苦労しました。そんな中スタッフの方々は警察、タクシー会社、領事館とのコンタクトに時間と労力を使って協力してくれたのです。警察で報告に困っているときに、後から書類を持ってきてくれたときは涙が出そうでした。その他、市内へ行くためにタクシーを呼びたいときは、タクシー会社へ行き先を伝えて電話してくれます。日本人に対してだけではなく泊まっていたフランス人女性も最高と評価してます。 ２．市内中心部から適度に離れている ローカルなベトナムを見るには中心街から離れることだと今回分かりました。店もあるし、少し歩いたら普通の一般の市場があります。ベンタイン市場などでは決して味わえない雰囲気や食があります。中心街から少し離れている為、夜間は騒がしくないです。 ３．インターネット環境、価格の安さ 観光客にとって、今やインターネットは必須です。部屋は広く安く２４時間チェック出来るのは魅力です。

空港からは遠いです。タクシーでは16万VNDほどかかりました。 部屋では快適に過ごせるでしょう。市街地方面の眺めも良いです。シャワーの水圧は弱いがお湯が出ます。 WiFiはありますが弱いです。
