Ho Chi Minh: Saigon Mini Hotel 5

Im impressed with the hotel firstly because it had everything you might need at a reasonable price. I booked the superior single ensuite and my room had the following windows, shower, toilet, toiletries (with comb, shampoo, cups, soap), hairdryer, fridge (large), mini bar at a VERY reasonable price, phone, coffee and tea making facilities and the internet. I think I paid about RM 60++ a night.

At this price, hostels do not usually provide these 'extras'. Having all these extra facilities made my stay complete. Breakfast was also at a reasonable price with multiple set menus such as eggs, pho, and continental. Came complete with drinks and fruit.

I suggest the iced coffee with milk to all. Elevator can be a bit slow and the bed a little bit on the hard side but other than that, I would stay here again. Credit cards accepted.

HOW TO GET THE SAIGON MINI HOTEL from the AIRPORT or TRAIN STATION

A/ BY METERED TAXI.

The Tan Son Nhat airport and the Railway station are inside the inner city. Along the road of getting to the central area, you can see a hustling and bustling down town. It takes about 25 minutes from the airport to the Saigon Mini Hotel group by car for a short routine around 7 kilometers. For a sound and safe journey, please be advised to take a metered taxi only.

The most popularly and highly recommended taxi companies include VINASUN (see its logo to catch a right taxi; and avoid some fake or cheating un-license taxi) and MAI LINH. The public fee is just around 140,000 – 150,000 VND/way/taxi from 4 to 7 seats (approximately 6 or 7 US$).

You can pay to the taxi driver in USD, but please make the amount of 6 or 7 USD ready for him. Remember don’t give any note having big value to him to avoid the controversy. You can fix the fee with the driver before getting into the car to avoid the cheating (if occurred) from the driver to set the odometer counting up fast or take you to travel around.

The driver will take you along the streets which may be listed: TRUONG SON (air-port) è NGUYEN VAN TROI è NAM KY KHOI NGHIA è LE LOI è LE LAI è NGUYEN THI NGHIA è PHAM NGU LAO è DE THAM è BUI VIEN Here is the address of the hotel in Vietnamese:
