This boutique hotel is a little gem on a rough but typical Ho Chi Minh city side-street. Don't let the street put you off- taxis pick you up and you can walk by foot to street food and restaurants alike. This is not a posh part of town but it is friendly and gives you an authentic neighborhood experience. We thoroughly enjoyed a five night stay while attending a wedding and touring the city. The front desk staff were all responsive, helpful and gracious. Ivy went over and above to help us get oriented, and escorted me under a massive umbrella through a torrential downpour in my formal dress and highheels to the taxi. The breakfast buffet offers a wide range of delicious and healthy choices. You will need to taxi to tourist locations in the city.
