After traveling for awhile and typing only on my iPod, it was such a treat to have a working computer in our room! Beautiful room, tastefully furnished with nice decorations and great light coming in from the large balcony. We could have easily stayed a week.

We ended up on this street with no hotel booking and found that most places were either booked or way out of our price range. We had almost made it to the end of the road when we stumbled into this place that just looks like a restaurant from the street. It turned out to be a great little place... More

We should a disclaimer that we did not stay at this place and therefore cannot comment on the quality of the accommodation. However, we did stop here for a meal and we were greatly disappointed. We have been in the country for over two weeks and have eaten some great local food. Unfortunately this place delivered our worst meal to... More

Hi Kylie, first about taste, everyone has a different taste, you probably like food having a stronger taste than we serve (i have the same) , but we are going to try to make it more tasteful by experimenting with some more fresh herbs. More chili not though, as not everyone likes spicy. Instead we will add chili separate. As... More

Stayed there for a night before onward up north. Arrived on X'mas day in the late afternoon and I was promptly attended to when I arrived. The first floor where you check in and check out is a restaurant, second floor is somewhat of an office/computer terminals/printing/faxing machines are available and the third floor onwards would be the guest rooms....

Having to review on the bed n breakfast listing as despite the restaurant advertising a huge 'recommended by tripadvisor' sign out front they dont appear to be listed under restaurants! Very misleading as people trust tripadvisor accreditations (as we did) on face value! We arrived at around 8:50pm, it was pretty busy but we managed to snag a front table.... More

You were totally right about the very very slow service. Should not have happened. The only reason was that from the 4 people normally working in the kitchen 2 called in the afternoon that they could not come. 2 staff is by far not enough when it is busy, and it was very very busy that day. Again, sorry, have... More

This 'Luesthouse' (no, this isn't a typo), bills itself as a luxury guesthouse at backpacker prices. Squeezed inti a narrow house on the upper floors of the guesthouse restaurant, our room was very small but clean and new, with ultra modern bathroom, desk, computer, Wi-fi, big flat screen TV, mini-bar, and comfy bed. Ceiling and reading were in all the... More

This little guesthouse, owned and run by Dutchman Hans, is just the best value for money I've had in numerous trips to Saigon. Great location, spotlessly clean room, mattress really comfortable, best shower in Vietnam, big TV screen, no little creepy-crawlies, back rooms very quiet. Even the electric sockets are in the right place! Restaurant downstairs serves Western and Asian... More
