We stayed at the Blue River hotel for 2 nights in June. In a nutshell we thought it was pleasant enough but for $30 a night was a little over priced. I booked on line in advance and asked for a pick up service from the airport. When we got to the airport the driver was there waiting and it... more

I come to Vietnam every year and don't usually stay in the Pham Ngu Lao area because it's very touristy and also very loud at night. This year, I had friends traveling to meet me who really wanted to be in the action so I visited 6 or 7 hotels prior to their arrival and as soon as I met... more

Blue River may not be a boutique hotel but for the price ($25/a night) it's great value. don't judge a book by its cover. you go through an alley off pham ngu lao and you're wondering what you got yourself into. though the building itself is small, the room is pretty spacious. my only beef is the bathroom because when... more

In all our years of travel around the world, this hotel has been one of our favorite places to stay. The reason for this, is not that the hotel offers 5 star luxury, far from it, but it is the fact that the staff make you feel at home from the moment you arrive, until the moment they check you... more

I could not recommend a better hotel in Ho Chi Minh. The rooms are perfect - clean, tidy, air-con, fridge and breakfast is included but the real bonus is the staff. Thuy in particular is so friendly and will accommodate any needs you have. She even helped us out by phoning bus companies and hotels when they didn't speak English,... more

I have stayed at the Blue River several times. In fact, I would not consider staying elsewhere when I come to HCMC which I do for business every year. The staff is beyond friendly. They are angels. If you need some special favor they do it for you or make arrangements to accomodate your needs. The location is really fun.... more

A friend in Australia recommmeded the Blue River to us so we booked online with Thuy before we came over and she emailed us back and answered any questions I had. The place is clean and the people just so friendly and Thuy helped me organise the trip when I got there. Blue River is in a great spot as... more

I have heard abt this hotel through my friends and also checked some previews on this website. It was a pleasant surpise with the hospitality and a cold welcome drink. I did enjoy my nights at Blue River. My room was clean and cool (despite of the hot weather in Vietnam), but it was a litle smaller than what I... more
