Great location, great value!
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and felt like it was a great value for a private room in the backpacker area of HCMC. It's located walking distance to all restaurants and bars. Room was no 5* but for a guesthouse it was clean & cozy. I would definitely recommend.

OK for the price
I'm a local resident - needed a place to stay short term while my apartment is being remodeled. For the price, this is what I would expect from a family run hotel. It's on a busy street (but tucked away in an alley) so it's fairly noisy at all hours. Basic, but clean, room. By the way, the Greek restaurant close by (Zeus) is a great place for inexpensive and good eats. The feta cheese and yogurt are indeed homemade.

Family makes all the difference
Extremely endearing family-run enterprise. The family's accommodations double as the front desk, so you're interacting with them whenever you're entering or exiting the building, and that's a good thing. The room is a little sparse, but that was fine; we just needed a place to sleep. The air conditioner was more than adequate, and we were resupplied with fresh toiletries and clean towels every day. I wish it were a little easy to find, but I'm sure the same could be said for nearly every hostel in Saigon. The address is 160/2, which means it's down a little alley off of the main street. It was a little tricky to find at night, but as long as you know the addresses are numerically ordered you can understand where to find it, it was just a bit of a challenge at night in the rain. There must be hundreds of hostels in District 1, the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, each providing what I'm sure is rather comparable service, but the family made all the difference to us, and any time we're back in Saigon on a budget, we'll be staying there.

글쎄요
숙소가 3층이었는데 엘리베이터가 없어서 짐 들고 계단 올라가는게 매우 어려웠어요 ㅜㅜ 사장님으로 보이는 분이 친절하셔서 좋았구요 우리는 공항 가기 전 대실 정도로만 이용한거라서 기대를 하지 않아서 보통이지만 숙박을 하실 분들은 불편할수있어요~

Ok, men med mangler
Vi ankom tidligt om morgenen med bus nordfra. Vi kunne naturligvis ikke checke ind allerede, men vi fik en luftmadras stillet til rådighed, hvilket var super dejligt. Værelset var okay, men med mangler. Håndvasken var konstant tilstoppet og bruseren virkede ikke. Desuden lå vores værelse op af nabobygningen - et diskotek, så der kom en del larm herfra. Overordnet set er hotellet okay, men der er mange bedre alternativer til samme pris.

Sympaattinen, mutta erittäin meluisa pikkuhotelli loistavalla paikalla. Korvatulpat kuuluvat huoneen varustukseen ja tulevat oikeasti tarpeeseen.

vivre la nuit et dormir le jour.
Hôtel propre situé dans un quartier populaire très animé,les propriétaires sont très accueillant . Mais un gros HIC. L'hôtel est adossé à une discothèque et les murs tremble jusqu'à 4 heures du matin. Personnellement je n'ai pas pu dormir avant 4 h du matin même si des boules kies sont mis à notre disposition.

Nice, central, family run hotel
We are a young couple and stayed here for several nights. It's in the middle of District one, so we could reach all the interesting places in HCMC by foot. There is no breakfast, but restaurants are plentyful in the neighbourhood and especially in the Bui Vien Street. The family who runs the place is very friendly and helpful. You can also book tours at the reception. The rooms are airconditioned and very clean, the beds are comfortable and towels are provided. The only downside is the nearby club. The music is loud but tolerable (depends on individual sensibility). Earplugs are provided though. We can totally recommend the Banana Leaf!

Cool mais pas top!!
Bonjour, L'accueil est vraiment sympathique, le quartier est vraiment intéressant car proche de toutes commodités. Par contre, dans toutes les commodités il y a un bémol!! Un bar de nuit qui n arrête de faire du bruit qu'à partir de 4 heures du matin et vu que les nuits sont déjà courte, je vous laisse imaginer le réveil. Sans en rajouter, même avec des boules quies rien à faire nous avions même les meubles qui grincés pendant la nuit... Les propriétaires n'y peuvent rien et l'hôtel complet ne favorisais pas un changement de chambre... Donc si je peux vous donner un conseil, louez juste une nuit pour voir. Les prix sont maximum aussi chère sur place que sur internet.. Bon voyage à tous et l'important reste les epersonnes qui sont super sympa!!

繁華街に近いので便利は便利です。 ただ、鍵を閉めて部屋に居たのですが、知らない人が鍵を開けて入ってきました。チェーン的なものもなく、怖かったです。
