89%Bich Duyen Hotel

Cleanest hotel we have stayed in HCMC. Within walking distance to Ben Thanh and heaps of cafes and restaurants. Mr Chanh is lovely and cannot go out of his way enought to help you - make sure you book taxis through him to and from the airport - the cheapest by far ($13USD to the hotel and $8USD...

Our room was a double. It was very clean however very small and no windows. Once our bags were on the floor there was barely room to walk around without treading on them. It is suitable if you want somewhere to just put your head at the end of they day.

Great central location. Very friendly and helpful stuff. Clean, tidy and safe. Not especially a place to hang out and meet other backpacker. Anyway, great value for money.

This hotel was great - walking distance to loads of the sights and restaurants and cafes, very clean and a great breakfast. Chanh was really friendly and helpful and arranged a taxi to collect us from the airport and take us back again. Highly recommended :-)

Great location, close to lots of bars and restaurants but down a small ally to keep the noise down. Staf were really friendly and efficient and the no shoes pilocy keeps everything nice and clean.

Incredibly good value, clean, great location, the manager was very helpful in organising day trips, cookery class etc. There is nothing "rough and ready" about this place at all, it is a decent guesthouse at a great price. Will definitely stay again.

When we arrived, the recepcionist had bought the room although we had a booking, then we were sent other hostel in same street. Then it sounded like a excuse for us. What a seedy double room. No windows. No cleanliness. It is not recommended this hotel and location. Beware of late check-in at...
