Find Guest Houses in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Chill Box Saigon (Google maps knows it as “Chillbox Saigon” if you need to find it that way when you arrive) was everything I could have asked for and more. Due to a minor overbooking issue I was able to experience what it was like to stay in 3 different rooms, including one night by myself in the six person hostel room. All of the rooms were extremely clean, have great interior design, beds that were very comfortable, the staff members were friendly and the location in District 1 made it easy to get to some of Saigon’s most popular tourist destinations. I give this an A++ rating for anyone who is traveling on a budget or looking for a more intimate experience than staying at a big brand hotel chain. It was a little difficult to find as it is tucked back in an alley and the street addresses in Ho Chi Minh City can be a little tough to understand. Google maps and Uber put me in a close location and after a few minutes of walking around asking locals who pointed me in several different directions I was able to locate it around back in the alley. I will admit after 24 hours of travel to get there I had to talk myself out of getting frustrated while I looked for it. My new friend Hieu, #facebookofficial, was one of the staff members at Chillbox who was very accommodating to me. He took me out to dinner at a traditional street food cart for cơm tấm bro on my third night and picked up the tab. The following night we went to dinner at a local Bánh Xèo restaurant before going on a tour of the city via his motorbike.

Tan Hoang Long Hotel is a lovely, clean haven in the middle of the chaos that is Ho Chi Minh City. The staff were lovely, and there are many shops and western restaurants nearby if that is the kind of food you wish to eat; however there are also Vietnamese food outlets nearby. The hotel is within walking distance to many of the major sights in District 1. The room is a very comfortable size for two people, and the room and ensuite was very clean. We found the staff to be very pleasant and friendly.

that's my first time to travel to Vietnam. I have no idea of evening. I bookwed this hotel for the first2 night. Be honest after that 2 night I don't want to move anymore. Because the staff is the best, they try to help me for any problems I had. They drive to the goldshop to exchange the money for couple time. Just want me to got the highest rant. And the last night in ho chi Minh city. I book the other hotel. But I don't know where is there. They said there is too close to take a taxi. But far for walk. So they drive 2 motorbike to sent me and my luggage to the new hotel. How awesome they are. So because of the super nice staff even the room is bit old and the air condition is not strong enough for my huge room. I will still want to stay this hotel again.

It's just close to Benh Thanh Market and Bus interchange, which basically you can take bus from Airport which cost only 5000 VND, convenient an d super saver! The drawback is no convenient store around and somehow you have to walk a distance to get one, especially if you are getting tired. The room is good, but light is dim. The rest are good. Breakfast is good for what you've paid. Staffs are young, energetic and helpful. It's closed to Café-Restaurant Ho Chi Minh City, a restaurant offer well fine-dining experience.

This is the second visit to Ho Chi Minh city and we stayed here last time as it is fantastic value for money. When you are in your room it is so quiet you would not think you were in the heart of District 1. The family are very obliging and friendly, rooms clean and because it is located at the end of a lane it is also very quiet. It is a great location so when you step out onto the street you are at the heart for both shopping and pop up bars at night. This will always be our choice when visiting Ho Chi Minh.

My stay at Mai Guest House was nothing short of excellent. To get to the guesthouse from Pham Ngu Lao Street, you have to turn in to this alley at "241", and then you walk down the alley till you find "41". It wasn't as difficult as I thought to find as long as you know how the street address works. That bring said, it is very conveniently located to Bui Vien, which has a very vibrant night life with lots of pubs and eateries. No doubt the prices there is a little higher than other areas of Ho Chi Minh as they cater to tourists. To get to Ben Thanh Market, it is a good 10 to 15 minutes walk. Service-wise, I felt that the owner and his family were very genuine. He was able to communicate in perfect English and gave us a lot of good advices on the places to visit etc. The tours that we booked through him were also reliable and at reasonable pricing so we did not worry about being shortchanged. The highlight of it all was the Granny, she was so nice! The owner allowed us to use his bathroom after we checked out, and before we headed to the airport, gave us free water as he told us that the water sold at the airport was expensive. This was on top of us receiving free water from him when we first checked-in. The room was reasonably clean, but since we paid for this price, do not expect to have soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste provided. I think that you have to request for a change in towel if you want a new one everyday. The toilet had good warm water but for some reason there was no warm water on the second day. We were too tired to ask them to check for us. Wifi was excellent was they had routers strategically placed at different floors. We stayed at room 302 (yes you got to climb quite a bit to get to the fourth floor but we did not find it an issue). All in all, this place was not perfect but this was outweighed but the genuineness and sincerity of the owner and his family. There is no doubt I will come back again the next time I visit Ho Chi Minh.

i've booked this thanh guesthouse hotel for 1 night only as my travel mate decided to stay for only 2 days at Ho Chi Minh City. however, later on, we've decided to stay for one night more so we've surveyed another hotels or guesthouses around the backpackers area to compare the prices. since the price for thanh guesthouse for one more night is the cheapest, so we've decided to stay there. the room is nice and comfortable and the owner is friendly (eventhough she barely speaks english). but, the toilet is a bit too small and the location is pretty difficult to find.

The homestay doesn't quite look as nice as in the photos. When I first arrived at the place I was looking for a fancy exterior like the photo (which I now recognize as the Fine Arts Museum just down the block). In reality the entrance was found at the end of an alley and it was locked with a sliding metal cage. I had no idea when I would arrive so the family was not expecting me. After wandering around for 15 minutes I finally accidentally ran into someone to let me in. I expected the family to be a bit more talkative based on the reviews but they were nice enough and showed me to my room. The room was very large (enough for 4 people to comfortably practice yoga) and very clean. However, the photos make it look nicer than it is irl. Once I got over the dissonance between my expectations and what it actually was, I began to like the place. It's quiet enough (although I did experience some noise from the neighbours). Close to Bui Vien Walking Street, banks, everything you need is close

This is a very nice place like a small guesthouse/ hotel. On the quiet side street in a non-touristy part of Ho Chi Minh City just across the river to all the major sites dollar 50 grab ride anywhere you want to go. Very walkable to lots of local eateries and street food stalls. The staff is amazingly helpful. The rooms are clean and stylish architecturally significant. Great Wi-Fi great showers the restaurant on the top if you’re nice view of the neighborhood in the feed is really good. I really enjoyed staying here And would stay again.

This mini hotel's price here is cheaper more than other 3-5 stars hotels at the central area, if you book the room pay by cash is 15$US , booked from pagoda was 13$US dollars. You can also book the 3 stars hotels room prices from 30$US, but room clean is enough, save the money to buy food and beers. I can say it's the backpacker's area, room is clean, comfortable, friendly family holder, many travel agents provide the one day or 2~3days tours, if you want to change your money, recommend the bank along the Pham Ngu Lao Street, the better rate than travel agent, cheap beers and food can find nearly the area. Many Nightclubs. Be careful of your bags and don't use your smart phone on your hand while you're walking, put in your pocket. Although there're other cheaper rooms in here, but I'm lazy to move my belongings so I stayed everynights here, clean cheap hotel ,I appreciate.

I chose to book this hotel a month before my visit to Ho Chi Minh city, and I am so glad I did! The location is perfect and literally just a minute or two walk from where all the buses stop in the center of the city. I arrived from Cambodia and purchased an open return ticket with Sorya at a discounted price, and it was such an easy and cheap way to travel. The staff at this guesthouse are also incredibly friendly and helpful. They will help you to get around the city and they can also arrange for any types of day trip tours to sites. The breakfast is not included, but at $1, it is a decent amount of food if you need to start your day off very early -- eggs, bread, fruit, and coffee/tea. The room itself was very cozy, and the a/c was super cold. The water was super hot for the showers, and the bed was very comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay here and would stay again if i visit another time.

We stayed here for five days and we loved it. It’s very clean, quiet and the rooms are big enough for what you need. They contain everything you need in there for your convenience. The owner Winston is very friendly and will help you with anything you want to know about Ho Chi Min. It’s in District 7, but it’s only 20 minutes to Distract 1 by bus which costs 5000 dong, travelling with the locals is fun. You can get a taxi, but it takes about the same time and is about 100,000 dong. All in all a great place to stay if you’re in Ho Chi Min. Many thanks to Winston and his staff for a very pleasant stay.

Good: Close to packagers street with a lot of resto around, with a cute cat wants to be petted. Offering taxi to airport services of 180,000vnd. Room rate is attractive. Consideration: As a guesthouse owned and operated by family, I do believe the woman is always trying best to facilitate our needs just that somehow I did not feel she is too friendly tho while there’s closing time ard 10pm that you need to bother the host to open the door for you, that I wondered if it’s good for those who like spending time outside until mid night.. By the way I had cycled from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city. I like da nang the most, as a tourist place compared with other cities.

I stayed a total of 4 nights. The staff were always willing to help. The tour to the mekong delta trip, that I booked through the hotel was great. The rooms were good for the price and the air con great. They have a tv with English movie channels if you want to chill too, in the room. The location is right in the backpacker area, 1 minute walk from 'beer street'. When I went on my delta tour, they let me leave my backpack with them, and helped me contact my next hotel for when I left Ho chi minh. The only down side, which isn't much to me, was that there are a lot of floors so you might get tired walking up by the time you reach your room, but it isn't really much of a negative! :)

The hotel is an old hotel actually, riding on RedDoorz branding. Interior looked repainted, can be refurbish for more modern look. Also it looked like a family run business. My room was on 1st floor, back of building. Pros: 2 rooms per floor has lift in front (directly opposite) of a bank, hence security a plus bathroom quite big Satellite TV with few choices of english programs Cons: room has mosquitos (due to manual lever window in bathroom) no FOC bottled water though (not that I'm complaining since already getting a good deal) Overall, its priced rock bottom during my stay on 15-16/Sep 2018. I wouldn't have mind going for another night but then the rates went up next morning by 20%+... PLUS it was fully booked anyways.

This is a complete rip off. The pictures are really misleading. The walls of our room had huge patches of mold and water stains, the curtains were also stained and in shreds. It smelled like we would get sick if we stayed in the room for too long, so windows had to be open at all times. I don't know if the guest house was completely booked and we got the worst room in the place but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, actually we didn't even stay for the second night that we had booked initially. It's just almost offensive because you can get a room ten times better for the same price in hcmc. The only reason we booked it in the first place is because I like that area and the pictures looked decent.
