Introduction
This list of Ho Chi Minh City hotels has been handpicked and updated in June 2017. We’ve visited and photographed all of the hotels listed, and stayed in many of them. Hotels are listed because we think they’re a good fit for our readers - that’s it. We don’t receive any payment from the hotels listed. If you like our approach, help us out and book via the links below.
Most travellers to Saigon will choose to stay in the city’s downtown District 1 area. From there you’ll be able to easily access most of the city’s museums and attractions, as well as dining and nightlife. It’s also where famous old colonial hotels such as the Continental and the Majestic are located.
For those travelling on a budget of less than 100USD per night, there’s a good selection of traveller hotels in District 1 in the 50USD - 100USD range - just make sure your room has a window.
Saigon’s backpacker area around Pham Ngo Lao and Bui Vien streets, is where the city’s cheapest hotels are located. There’s also an accompanying eco-system of backpacker eating, partying and touring.
Airbnb is making a big mark in Saigon too. There are some tasteful renovations in old apartment blocks. And some more conventional apartment blocks have nice spaces available too.
The boutique hotel scene is harder to spot. We’ve listed a handful of options. But real boutique hotels are still scarce in Saigon.
Notes
We spend a lot of time checking out new hotels. If you know a cool place, let us know. There are thousands of hotels and we need you to help us find the best of them.
