    We are book lovers and this hotel caught out eyes because it has a mini library. It is close to the airport. We had traveled from da nang to ho chiminh and because we reached pass midnight, it was perfect for us. The staff were pleasant and kind to us. We moved to another hotel to get a more centralised location in hi chi Minh. Our night stay there was pleasant and we spent the morning reading

    This place has its charm but overall I would not recomend it. It might be because I took a cheap room but that does not excuse dirty laundry (old spots) and one even had several cuts that would be impossible for the cleaner to miss in my opinion.

    Ok location but service is not up to expectation”

    Room quite ok , clean and good location, however: 1/ The air condition sound pretty loud when run, especially at night, it's a real annoying 2/ We don't clearly remember if we book a room with breakfast, however, at night, the staff give us a card with information about the breakfast without any clear information, so we turn up for breakfast. Then they charge us extra for that breakfast. 3/ The restaurant is quite expensive comparing to nearby food. 4/ The fridge is really small and no more space to put anything of our own stuffs in it. 5/ The lift take way to long if we want to go up and down. 6/ Internet also really bad, we have to use our own 4g if we want to do anything.
