Is is possible for this place to be better than the past year? Yes, apparently so! The comments on location and staff should always include the wonderful young owner, Thuy, who, among other things, is quite the musician. If you are lucky, you will be able to hear her playing away on the piano that is also available to guests,... More

We stayed there for 2 nights, location was good and staffs were friendly, breakfast included and rom was basic but clean and quiet. More

We stayed at some different places in ho chi minh city and found Pham Ngu Lao Street to be the absolute best with alot of nice restaurants and bars surrounding the street so Blue river had a perfect location. The Street was also a backalley so there was hardly any traffic so it was really nice and quiet. The service... More

We chose this hotel based on the Tripadvisor reviews and they were correct, the location is brilliant - central and in a quiet alley so you do not have road noise. The staff are friendly and had great recommendations for restaurants. But, we had bed bugs in our room. We woke up in the middle of the night scratching and... More

It was a great pleasant feeling to see the newly remodel Blue River Hotel with Thuy, the beautiful owner’s smiling face. Every thing at this hotel are better than before with all the new bath room, air-conditioning and the large lobby with Thuy at the piano. I am back to my little home away from home. Thank you Thuy and... More

The rooms are lovely, recently refurbished, the bathroom was good, lovely... More

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times over the years. I come here because it's quiet at night, the location is great, and the value is spectacular. But the primary reason I come is because of a particularly exceptional staff person. I visited again in Nov & Dec and had a very pleasant stay. They have remodeled some... More

I agree with all the other positive reviews. Even though it is located down an alleyway off the main drag it's really easy to find as there are two entrances to the alleyway both with signposts listing all the guesthouses on the alleyway. We arrived very early in the morning from our flight - we didn't expect to get our... More

We loved this small family-run hotel, situated in a quiet alley, and stayed there on 1st and last nights of our vacation. Recently renovated, the rooms are spotless; the service couldn't be friendlier. Thuy and Hai at reception both speak excellent English which is good when you first arrive in a new country. Ask Hai to direct you to the... More
