Hong Vinh Hotel

Hong Vinh Hotel is a hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, set in a side alley off Bui Vien street, with air-conditioned rooms that all have a private bathroom. The property suits travellers who want to stay in the centre, with Ben Thanh Market and the Bui Vien bars within walking distance, while the side-alley position keeps the rooms relatively peaceful at night.

Every room measures 18 m² and has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar and a seating area. Guests can choose between a double room with one large bed, a twin room with two single beds and a room that can be set up either way. The en suite bathrooms come with free toiletries, a bidet and slippers.

The hotel has a terrace, a lift, a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, room service, luggage storage and a tour desk. Laundry and ironing services are available, and free WiFi covers all areas. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are also offered.

All four rooms at Hong Vinh Hotel are 18 m² and sleep up to two adults, with room for one child as well. The range is built around double and twin layouts: two rooms have one large king-size bed, one room is a twin with two single beds, and the first room can be set up with either arrangement. Every room has a private bathroom with a bath or shower, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a minibar.

Your choice mainly depends on the bed layout. The twin room is the only one set with two single beds, while the double rooms with a bathroom suit a couple who want one large bed. Some rooms are internal and get little natural light, which matters if you value daylight over a view.

The shared facilities at Hong Vinh Hotel are built around everyday service. There is a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, room service, a tour desk, luggage storage, currency exchange, a laundry and an ironing service. A lift serves the building, and the terrace gives guests a place to sit outside.

Free public parking is possible on site, with no reservation needed, and valet parking is also offered. WiFi is available in all areas and is free of charge. Media in the rooms includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels and internet services, and CCTV covers the common areas.

In the rooms, the list covers a bath or shower, a bidet, a toilet, free toiletries, towels, slippers, toilet paper, linen, an electric kettle, a wardrobe, a clothes rack, a socket near the bed and a seating area. The minibar is in the rooms as well.

The hotel stands in a side alley off Bui Vien, the walking street and backpacker strip of District 1, in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. Ben Thanh Market is 650 m away and Ben Thanh Station is 500 m, so the shops and the metro station are both a short walk. The pagoda Chùa An Lạc is 100 m away and Saigon Evangelical Church 150 m, and the street is lined with cafés, pubs and restaurants. Most of the nightlife is on the Bui Vien stretch itself, a minute or two on foot.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.6 km away and Saigon Railway Station, the long-distance train hub, is 2.4 km, so both can be reached by taxi. Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 600 m away and Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn 550 m, which helps for onward coach journeys. Free public parking is possible on site, and no reservation is needed, so driving in is an option.

On foot, Tao Dan Park is 750 m away, with shade and open lawns for a morning walk. The Museum of Ho Chi Minh City is 1.1 km away, and the War Remnants Museum and Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River are each 1.3 km. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is 550 m away. Ben Thanh Market, Thai Binh Market and Hang Phan Market are all within 850 m, so shopping for food and fabrics is easy. For a day outside the centre, Crescent Lake is 5.3 km away.
