Ho Chi Minh City Hostels

First of all I would like to explain a little. I have lived 1 year at City Garden before. When I worked in Vietnam, HCMC. The reason me and my wife rented this apartment for 5 nights was because we needed a place to stay before we rent an apartment in the same complex.  The City Garden experience is really good. Everything you want is there. People who live in this place are like an extended family. Lot's of expats and less locals.  At City Garden it is not allowed to rent out your apartment such as Airbnb solutions. But this apartment pretends to be an hotel.  When we arrived, it was complicated to get hold of the people about keys and card for the elevator. When we finally got in to the apartment after a long trip from Europe. We just crashed direct inbed. The day after we realized that the apartment was dirty. Not clean at all. We communicated with a middle hand and said that this is not what you expect when you pay 93 USD/night. We were offered that someone would come and clean the apartment. We declined the offer, our personal stuff was spread out already. We told them that we can clean ourselves and we can talk about a reduction of the price or something like that.  The middle hand, said that the ”Management” (probably the pserson who illegally rents out the apartment) said no to such a discussion.  So we told the middle hand, that if the ”Management” don't understand the value of good grades on www.trip.com and elsewhere. They will soon be were of that! That's why I now writes this text. First I was thinking just to forget about it. But the attitude from the apartment owner is completely arrogant and hostile.  / Mike & Natasha Ps. I am not a person who complains, but when things are completely wrong, then my voice must be heard! Ds.

I booked a hostel without realizing that a delicious breakfast was included in the price. And when I wanted to order a beer in the cafe downstairs that evening, it turned out that from 7 to 8 PM, you can get a free beer, cola, or bottle of water every day. I've never seen anything like it anywhere! The hostel is on a fairly quiet street, and the room has only four beds, but it's very clean. There's no elevator, but the manager kindly helped me carry my 30-kilogram suitcase up to the 4th floor. :) The staff is very friendly and helpful, which was a great touch 🫠 In four years of living in Asia, I've stayed in various hotels and hostels, and I can confidently say that this hostel is worth your attention. These guys know a thing or two about service)) I definitely recommend it!

The service was good, the reception staff were enthusiastic, the place was quiet and cool, a good choice. Although there was no elevator, the hotel receptionist helped me carry a 40kg suitcase from the first floor to the fifth floor, and after I returned, he also helped me bring the suitcase back down to the first floor. Very thoughtful and helpful.

The owner Tuan and his sister Na were very nice and accomodating owners willing to fufill any resonable requests that the guests needed. Bathrooms and shower stalls were clean. Sink was clean. Had a dining where you can sit down and eat as well as do other things. The kitchen was clean where it had enough dishes and utensils for the guests to use. Kitchen also had some 2 good rice cookers guests could use. It also had all the basic necessities that a person could use to cook food like Soy Sauce, oil, as well as other ingredients to cook food with. Also had a mini lounge area for guests to relax like read a book or use a laptop. Also has a washer and a dryer as a bonus for the guests to dry their clothing after washing it. Rooms were clean and provided basic necessities like toilet paper, q-tips, shampoo, body wash, and a toothbrush. The only negative thing about this place was that the personal rooms like space to do things which is not good if you are staying for the long term. Tuan's wife dental service was good in that the place is well lited and the color of the place which provides a welcoming atmosphere for patients from a psychological standpoint. They are very supportive in making the patient feel as comfortable as possible with their treatment where they feel minimal pain. They also make sure that everything is done right where the patient is satisfied and has no complaint. Treatment prices are very affordable compared to other dental clinics here in Saigon and if you are guest at their place, they will give you a discount. Would have liked to continue to stay here again, but needed a place with more space. Will be more than happy to comeback here again if the situation fits me!

It's like having your own pod on a spaceship. The walls are quite thin in the pods but I didn't have a problem sleeping at all, I really enjoyed myself there. You're right beside the river only a short walk or grab from main areas.

The bedroom is small, very basic and towel provided. Enough space to put your stuff. The bathroom is nice and clean. For some people it might be a problem since men/women use the same bathroom. Unfortunately there was no common area/cafe like the pictures showed in the ground floor. It was not a big deal, since there are plenty of food to find nearby.

You can't beat this hostel's location. its location near public transport and attractions is very convenient. The beds are very comfortable, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing. The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, and the food at the on-site restaurant is amazing.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport, making it great for short stays. The rooms are clean, no-frills, but comfortable. The internet works well, and there are cafes and small shops nearby. There are no facilities within the hotel itself, but it's a decent option for an overnight stay before a flight. It's suitable for those who prioritize a convenient location. You can find a video review on the Pikart Travel YouTube channel.

I really like the owner of this hotel. Whenever I had any issues and wrote them, they always answer. They do have people come through to empty trash and clean up as much as possible. I really like the idea that I can lock my living area up and go out on the town without worrying about my stuff getting stolen. This is considerably different than a regular hostel. I generally paid less than a hostel but with more security. The washing machines was shared among all people living in the building. Overall, I didn’t have an issue staying here. I left because I found an apartment to live in. I recommend.

Hidden in a small alley in the county, the location is good, but unfortunately I didn't see any lockable cabinets. It's suitable for a short stay of one or two nights.
