I chose this hotel for the last two nights of my 3 week trip in Vietnam. As I was worn out from the trip I didn't want to stay in a hostel, I considered this hotel mid-range. I arrived in HCMC with an overnight train so I was at the hotel quite early in the morning, I couldn't check in until early afternoon so I left my luggage at reception and headed out to town. Most sites are easily walkable from the hotel, there's a cool little cafe (Passio) on the corner about a block away from the hotel with coffees, ice teas and danish pastries. Other eateries and cafes can be found towards the city centre. It's not too long a walk from the train station and there's a bus stop 2 blocks away that leads to the airport. The room was really comfortable and pleasant, obviously recently furnished, much better condition than many of the places i stayed in. Wifi signal was strong. There were small free bottles of drinking water in the room. Receptionist was friendly and polite, spoke good enough English and gave me a printout map with all the sites nearby. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again if I return.
