    “A good hotel”

    The hotel is located near the entrance to the walking street. The rooms are clean. There is a bar on the rooftop. There is an elevator. Near the hotel, there is a place for motorcycle parking. A good hotel, suitable for group outings.

    “Cheap room, worth the price.”

    The room is relatively simple, not very soundproof but not too big either. Since it's rented right on Bui Vien Street, getting this price is already good. No high demands!

    “Business trip combined with travel”

    The hotel is relatively clean, with friendly and enthusiastic staff. Tourists who want to experience the nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City should consider staying here. The location is on a pedestrian street, so cars will be banned from the evening. For guests who want a quiet place to rest, it is better to find another location as lively music will be played until 3 or 4 a.m.

    “Accommodation used before heading to the airport.”

    The accommodation chosen by my husband, who was unaware of the characteristics of Bui Vien Street, was quiet during the day but became very loud with music in the evening. If the music is acceptable, it's a good location for young people to hang out and enjoy their stay. They allowed an early check-in, which my parents appreciated, and they were surprised by the street scenery but seemed to enjoy it nonetheless. Not recommended for family travelers, but recommended for young people who like to drink.

    “Very satisfied”

    The staff is friendly, the guests are clean, the location is lively, and dining and shopping are very convenient. If you enjoy fun, this is an ideal place! The hotel is cheap; the whole family should rent it. I've done so many times already. 🥰
