“Feeling at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We chose the guest house after reading all the reviews on it and were so happy with it. The owner family and their staff is so friendly and they speak very good english. They helped whereever possible and really made us feel welcome. The rooms are nice and have everything they need, the neighbourhood is great, with many bars and restaurants around and in walking distance of all the sights. And since the guest house is at the end of a dead end alley it is actually really quiet. This is one of the biggest values, when travelling the big cities in Vietnam. Usually we slept with earplugs but this was not necessary here. After a long day touring the city, we loved coming back to our guest house, feeling at home.

“Friendly staff and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

We stayed here for 2 nights. Room was basic but had everything we needed!
The staff were very friendly and helpful!
Great location in District 1, walking distance to all the main restaurants/bars/sights.
Breakfast was included and was very good, I had a fresh bread roll with omelette and a few small bananas and juice!
Great budget accommodation! Highly recommended! :-)

“Clean,Friendly and Excellent Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We stayed a week in this Guesthouse and found it as excellent Value for this low price. The rooms are plain but have all the facility you need eg Fridge, Air-con and Bathroom with big shower.
The rooms are very clean actually the whole Guest House is very clean. Asian way no wearing of shoes inside the House !
The breakfast is plain and consist of a bread roll, jam and margarine with the option of omelette, eggs sunny side up or scrambled. Tea and coffee and fruit.
The owner is very helpful and most important of all he speaks fluently English which you find not so often here in Vietnam.
The location is at the end of a little Cul de Sac from the most busy street in District 1 which is the place to be. Due to being at the end of this little side road the rooms are quiet.
Plenty restaurants in the vicinity to sit inside or on the pavement.
The area is home of most backpackers visiting HCMC with travel and tour operators on every corner.
We tried in this week we stayed to establish what decides tourist young and old to visit HCMC and could not find one reason to do so. There are no real sightseeing spots except some leftovers from the Vietnam war and these get off course very one sided put on to you by the current socialistic party in power.

Room Tip: We enjoyed the double bedroom on the first floor.

“Great Guesthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2012

Ngoc Phan is a really nice guesthouse run by a nice family. It lies in a very quit alley from a big street with lots of shops and bars.
The family is very helpful. If you wanna book a trip, taxi or see stuff around Saigon. They will always help you and give good advice.
The rooms are very clean, with good airco (not blowing straight on the bed), a nice shower and great beds. We had 3 different rooms (we kept coming back from trips to Mekong and Cambodja) and they were all very good!
