Thao Nhi Hotel

The room was very clean.

The room is a bit small for a couple but will do for solo travelers.

The location is great - within walking distance of my drop-off point when I arrived in Vietnam from Cambodia. Very convenient. At night, the hotel is quiet, and I slept well. The room has everything. It has comfortable and clean beds. Warm shower. Working A/C and a fan. What I enjoyed most: it has a dedicated workspace for a laptop.

I noticed tiny insects crawling rapidly in my room, and they were not ants. Definitely not ants. They didn't seem to be bed bugs either. My bed was super clean, and the sheets showed no signs of blood-sucking episodes. I informed the reception about their presence. That's it.

The location (in the so called Back Packers' Quarter) is great - slap bang in the middle of District 1: 10 minutes walk to Ben Thanh Market, 15-20 to Nguyên Hue and Opera House. Value for money - clean rooms, decent size, air-conditioning that works well, tv, with a range of western channels. The guys who run this place are lovely, so warm and hospitable. They are one of the reasons I have been going back for several years.

Nowt really

Everything... I've stayed a number of times now It's in a great location... I love the lane it's in with its little restaurants, bars and specialty shops... it opens up to the chaos of Pham Ngu Lao at one end and the lights, music and action of Bui Vien at the other, but you wouldn't even know it. The lane is like a cocoon... a little world of it's own. The hotel has cold aircon, bar fridge, ensuite bathroom with hot water, a lift (even that's airconditioned), cable TV, excellent WIFI, and laundry service. A llittle foyer and front desk area that has a 'homely' feel too it. And the best thing about it... it's run by a kind and lovely family. While a small 'language barrier' might exist, it's obvious they're very welcoming of their guests. Smiling with your eyes tells you everything. I love it! And... 99% of hotel beds in Vietnam are firm. I get a great night's sleep and my back wouldn't have it any other way.
