Best value for your dollars at this hotel. This is probably a 3.5 star hotel at best, but the hospitality and staff are 100 stars!!! I've stayed at 3 to 5 star hotels around the world and they are one of the best I've ever received. This is a Japanese style hotel and they offer Japanese style service here. Everyone there is amazing! One staff member stands out, Thu Ngan. She is the sweetest, nicest person ever!
This hotel is very clean and within walking distance to the Ben Thanh Market and Bui Vien Walking street. They are also close to highly recommended banh mi and pho restaurants. Everything is within a 10 minute walk.
And if you're going further out, Grab service (their version of Uber) is ridiculously cheap. It cost me $5 USD to get from the airport to this hotel (45 minute drive) I am not exaggerating.
I've read other reviews about this hotel and one negative aspect I see in other reviews are that this hotel is "outdated". This is simply not the case. Everything is pretty up to date. The only thing is the shower does look a bit worn, but it's very clean and they offer shower slippers. It does lack a safe, but with this staff, I felt very comfortable not needing one.
If you're looking for a hotel in the area, I highly recommend this one, especially if you're on a budget.
