This is a great hotel located in the center of Ho Chi Minh city. The rooms are small but comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is served daily on the top floor. Tours can be arranged from the front desk. The staff are very helpful and happy. I would recommend this hotel.

I've been to Saigon Mini Hotel 5 twice, first with friends back in 2010, and then recently when I arrived in HCMC one day early for my business trip. You get the best bang for your buck in this hotel. Accessible location (although the entrance to the hotel and its immediate surroundings may look dodgy, especially at night), standard albeit...

My family stayed here for 3 nights when we first arrived in Vietnam. We had one room with two large double beds in it overlooking the main street. It was quite comfortable, and quiet!! The airconditioning worked well considering the soaring heat outside!! It was a great location and we could quite easily walk to where we wanted to go.... More

I was expecting that we made a right choice for booking our hotel with mini saigon. When we arrived, lights were turned off with guys in shirt sitting outside. Kinda awkward to enter because we feared them then eventually we knew they were staffs of the hotel. They promptly arranged our booking and reservation, no problem with that. Staffs were... More

Stayed here 2 nights and was very happy with it. Stayed on 8th floor, so found it very quiet and we chose the cheaper room option, so very small room and no window. However, was impeccably clean and everything worked well including an excellent WiFi connection. Breakfast was excellent and had omelette with bread, banana and coffee in a roof... More

Nice little hotel. I stayed here for three nights. It is centrally located near sites and business. The people here were very nice. They were easy to work with and available to assist in any sightseeing you might be interested in doing as well as places to dine and shop. If you ever get to Saigon and want a nice... More

Situated in the heart of busy district for tourists. Near in shopping stores and different restaurants. It takes 15 min walk going to the night market.The hotel and rooms don't look like the way it is presented on the website. Hopefully the room and bedsheets don't smell like Chinese scents which made me a lil uncomfortable. Airconditioner was too low... More

Noisiest place we have ever stayed....in the world. Location is slap-bang in the middle of the backpacker's area. We were placed on the 6th floor at the back but the noise from karaoke was absolutely absurd, even on a Tuesday night, and ran till past 3AM. Spoke to the management and they placed us at the front of the hotel... More
