The hotel is on Ly Tu Trong Street in District 1, the city's central district. Several cafés and restaurants sit within 50 m, including Passio Coffee and Nhà Hàng Taishow, and Lam Son Park and the Japanese Corners are both within 150 m. The Saigon Central Post Office and the Đường Sách book street, lined with bookshops, are each 500 m away.

What guests say

8.1

Guests praise the central setting, which stays quiet despite the nearby restaurants, the friendly and quick-to-respond staff, and the outdoor swimming pool with city views. The main drawbacks are a buffet breakfast with limited vegetarian options and milk alternatives, and rates that some guests find higher than nearby hotels, with unexpected charges.
