Good first impression
Pros:

Staff greeted me warmly and check-in was very quick. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I didn't spend much time inside because there is so much to do around the hotel.

Bui Vien at your doorstep
Pros:

If you're coming to Saigon to party, this is a very convenient place. Bars and food are literally around the corner. It can be noisy outside, so I'd think twice if you're someone who wakes up easily from street music.

Cons:

"I returned to HCMC three times during my travels, and I have to admit this is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at so far. It’s not even because it’s located right in the center of the busiest party street—I don’t mind that too much, even though the noise can be quite bad for sleeping—but the staff is incredibly unfriendly, with so little knowledge and zero interest in the guests. The guy at the reception didn't even bother to explain that I had to request room cleaning. As a result, I only had one small trash can in the room that I had to fill up for 5 days. The room itself was okay and clean, but the bathroom was a total disaster.

Exactly where I wanted to be
Pros:

Booked this mainly for the location and it delivered. Bui Vien is right nearby, with loads of food and bars around. Very convenient for a few days in the city.

Good vibes from the start
Pros:

Easy check-in, friendly staff and a clean room. I also liked the common areas because it was easy to meet other travellers without the place feeling too hectic.

I liked the energy
Pros:

The area is busy and loud at night, but that's exactly what I expected from staying next to Bui Vien. I'd recommend it to younger travellers who enjoy being out late rather than someone looking for a quiet night's sleep.

A fun place to stay
Pros:

Good atmosphere and plenty of people around. The rooftop was a nice place to hang out in the evening and chat with other guests.

The location worked perfectly for me
Pros:

I wanted somewhere where I could go out at night without worrying about getting transportation back. This was perfect. There is some nightlife noise, but I expected that when booking a hotel next to Bui Vien.

I would come back
Pros:

Stayed a few nights and had no major problems. Clean room, good AC, good location and helpful staff. I would happily stay here again when I'm back in Saigon.

Good choice for nightlife
Pros:

If nightlife is one of your reasons for coming to Saigon, this location is hard to beat. Bui Vien is right there. It can be noisy around the street-facing rooms, but that's the trade-off for being in the centre of the nightlife.

Great for a short Saigon trip

Saigon right outside the door
Pros:

Really enjoyed the location. Step outside and you're immediately surrounded by food, bars, shops and people. It has a young and lively atmosphere. If you like nightlife, you'll probably enjoy staying here. If you need complete silence at night, this probably isn't the kind of location you're looking for.

还可以,但如果你想游览一天找一处安静的港湾,这里不太适合,这里适合逛酒吧的客人
Pros:

位置在闹市区,去哪都方便

Cons:

周围就是酒吧街,噪音太大了

Very convenient location
Pros:

You can walk almost everywhere from here. Plenty of food around and lots of things happening at night. The building is close to Bui Vien, so it is not the place for someone extremely sensitive to noise, but for me the location was excellent.
