ホーチミンのこのエリアで料金が異常に安いので物珍しさを感じて宿泊してみましたが、予想より遥かにコストパフォーマンスに優れた施設でした。 ホテルのエントランスなどはなく、1Fにあるバインミー屋が受付になっていました。 ランドリーやクリーニングのサービス等もありますし、トイレやシャワールームなどの共用スペースも清潔でした。 もちろん部屋は狭いですが、寝れる広さですし空調も効きます。 1人旅の方には良いホテルになると思います。 今回8泊しましたがなんの不満もありませんでした。

部屋は清潔で綺麗でした。共用のシャワーとトイレも清潔でしたが、大きめの虫がシャワーにいた時がありました。日本街にあり、立地はとても良いです。ホテルの受付に行くために少し階段を登らなければいけないため、大きい荷物だと多少不便です。
