“good location, friendly staff, good value for money!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

We stayed here for 5 nights in a triple room. I requested for them to pick us up at the airport since our arrival is past midnight. Once we arrived, the driver is already there waiting for us with my name.

The breakfast is simple but good. French bread, omelette, butter and jam, banana, juice and coffee.

They arranged our trip to cu chi tunnels via Delta Adventure Tours.

The room is very clean as well as the bathroom, it's just that the bath tub is a bit old. Everyday they clean the room, they replace the towels.

No hassle in checking in. You can sleep peacefully at night because it's quiet.

Just one thing, always be careful with your bags and cameras while walking along pham ngu lao or anywhere else, coz thieves are everywhere looking for their future victims.

All in all, Ngoclinh is a good place to stay, worth the money!

“Clean Hotel with friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013 via mobile

We stayed here for two nights in the triple room. We arrived early in thev morning, about 7 am, and still got a room after an hour of waiting. The room with bathroom was very clean, has a/c and a fan. The hotel is located in a relatively silent and small road: no cars, less motobikes. Book here, you will like it.

“Great value. No problems.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

This is a great hotel. It has very attentive service and friendly staff, who will help you book tours or taxis to the airport, among other things. The rooms are clean and we didn't encounter any problems. Fresh towels and made bed every day. The breakfast is the same everyday (small omelette with a crusty Vietnamese bun, pineapple juice, coffee, tea and banana) but it is good. It is a very good value, right in the middle of the backpacker's district, close to everything. I would strongly recommend it!

Room Tip: Try and get a room closer to the first floor, as we stayed on one on the fourth and one on the fifth...

“perfect location In pham ngu lao”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012 via mobile

the hotel is clean and nice. Helpful and kind receptionist. The hotel is in a narrow road that grants silence during the night, but inside the amusement of pham ngu lao.ask for low floor if You have any problem with stairs. Recommended

“Very poor service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

I simply cannot believe this hotel is supposedly ranked in the top 20 hotels in Ho Chi Min City!

Apart from the cold and indifferent staff attitude, the small rooms, the noisy construction during the day and the drunk guests slamming doors all night, the clincher was when we simply tried to request a taxi for the early morning trip to the train station.

The hotel refused to book this for us, as they wanted us to use their driver service for double the cost. Never in any of my stays around the worldhave i encountered such a ridiculous attitude.

In conclusion, for us our stay at this hotel has been utterly regrettable.
