    “Perfect for Budget Travelers who are not too Picky”

    On Agoda website, it says airport transfers, but there is none. No email address on Agoda website. One has to use long distance calls. My room is windowless so insulated from noise on the streets but there is still some tolerable noise until 3am. Air-conditioning is not so good. Initially, the 1st receptionist insisted that it's acceptable already but not to me as the vent should be directed towards you to feel the cool. The room is not yet cooled even after 90 minutes. Good thing another young male receptionist took care of things. Talked to maintenance & provided me with electric fan. After his intervention, things became better. Don't expect hot showers, just a tiny bit warm but it's acceptable since HCM's climate is warm.

    “Good location but not clean”

    I chose Meraki for its lively location, but the family room lacked a window or balcony. Disappointed with dirty beds and unclean sheets, plus mold in the room affected my sleep and health. Switched to a deluxe room with a perpetually open window, improving the experience slightly. Staff were friendly, and I appreciated their assistance during my late check-in (around 4:30am). However, due to cleanliness concerns and noise issues, I can't confidently recommend this hotel.

    “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.

    “Nice location if you are into parties”

    I would like to recommend this hotel as it is right in the middle of Bui Vien Street. The location is perfect but just be ready because you will be hearing the noise from different bars outside the hotel. A lot of restaurants and convenience store around the area..a popular restaurant in front of the hotel if you are into Vietnamese food. You can also walk going to the market and the shopping malls. The room is big and almost complete. I like that their rooms have windows and a lot of outlet for charging your gadgets. Honestly, I like the vibe of Bui Vien Street but it is actually an acquired taste.
