Très agréable séjour et très propre.
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’emplacement, l’hôtel est au calme dans une ruelle à l’écart des rues principales très bruyantes.
Notre chambre avait une fenêtre qui donnait sur un mur situé à 50 cm, mais finalement ça ne nous a pas gêné, on y a passé 3 nuits.
La chambre et la salle d’eau étaient très propre. Le nettoyage était quotidien.
Le lit et les oreillers sont confortables.
Le petit-déjeuner très convenable et suffisant.
Le personnel a été très agréable.

Cons:

Juste une remarque pour préciser que les descriptifs ne sont pas toujours précis concernant les fenêtres qui donnent sur un mur. En fait il n’y avait pas d’indication sur la vue, dans ce cas il faut comprendre « vue sur un mur ». Il suffit juste de le savoir.

Recommend staying here. It’s great.
Pros:

Loved the location, though we had a little difficulty finding it on arrival… mostly because we didn’t follow the directions. 😊
Once we arrived we were delighted with our decision to stay there.

Cons:

All good

Authentic local hotel in a little lane in district 1.
Pros:

Local hotel in easy walking distance to shopping restaurants and massages. Got a late checkout for a small fee. Staff accommodating with requests

Cons:

Building being erected directly next door so banging begins at 0700 everyday!
Only has one bedside table which is annoying if you have medical equipment etc.

A nice small boutique hotel with a very good price.
Pros:

The room (suite) was very clean and spacious and staff very kind and helpful.

Cons:

The location was quite well hidden in a maze of narrow alleys which could feel weird although it did not really bother us. It's still in a very central location at walking distance from independence palace and Ben Thanh Market etc sights.

Pros:

Small (8 room ) spotlessly clean everywhere in the hotel and room , breakfast was great you chose of a menu and they bought it to you .
Staff were so friendly and helpful.
Hotel did laundry and it smelt amazing and came back within a few hrs for same price as laundry nearby .We loved this cute hotel and cant praise the staff enough

Cons:

Unfortunatetly there was building work next door - even on a Sunday which spoilt what would have been a peaceful stay otherwise.
