Kim hotel is tucked away on an alley in the main backpacker area in Saigon. It's a pretty basic place in the style of the area which is a tall and narrow building with no more than a couple of rooms per floor. The rooms themselves are clean and nicely kitted out with all the essentials. The staff were really... more

Absolutely Awful! A scam! I won't recommend this to my worst enemy. Extremely Rude and unprofessional staff! Greedy! Absolutely NO help! They did NOT make me feel welcome! The lobby is their living room and your lucky if you can walk through it. Elevator didn't work, hole in the door, bed rock hard, no water pressure, no hot water, drain... more

We (4 of us) stayed here in Jan 2009, and was pleasantly surprised by the price, location and friendly service. They organised transfers from the airport...which may have been a little more than a taxi, but it was hassle free. Free internet, helpful staff, clean rooms and situated right in the midst of things. I have recommended people to stay... more

I stayed here with my mum, my almost two year old, and my four year old. The place is in the heart of things, and very happening, however because Kim's is off a side street it is very quite at night (with the kids we didn't go out late, and had massive days so we needed sleep). We were suprised... more

I stayed at Kim Hotel for two nights in late August, 2009. The hotel arranged to have a driver pick me up from the airport for $12. I have a feeling that it would have been cheaper had I taken a cab but I didn't want to deal with the potential hassles, especially after 30 hours in transit and arriving... more

Booked this hostel style hotel for our first 2 nights as we arrived very late and we decided to spend the first day looking around the area before moving to the more salubrious french quarter area by the river. The hotel was similar to what you would expect in this catagory. We paid a little more (US$22/night) for the 'better'... more

We stayed at Kim Hotel for 3 nights in April and we thought it was good for value. The hotel/guesthouse is centrally located in Bui Vien Street, right next to the backpacker's area, Pham Ngu Lao St. but the plus point is that it is quiet, unlike in Pham Ngu Lao, so we had a good night sleep there. We... more

I went to Saigon to travel last Nov, during thanksgiving. I booked this hotel 2 days before my trip from their website. They picked me up at the airport and had reserved a clean, neat room for me. It is located in the backpacker town, cheap and good food more than i can imagine with the help of mrs Kim.... more
