This hotel was great for the price you pay. It had maid service every day, breakfast (basic but still enough) a safe in the cupboard, an actual shower, comfortable bed, well stocked mini bar and well working air con. The staff were all very friendly and helped us book a taxi to the train station for our 5am start without... More

I booked this hotel for 4 nights based on the good reviews on here. We booked a delux room with ABF for 4 nights. We contacted the hotel for our requests and airport pick up which I was very satisfied (promptly responding etc). The hotel is located in a small alley surrounded by other hotels. On our arrival, we were... More

Rooms are spotless, bathrooms are cleanest and most modern that I've been in in SE Asia. The location is relatively quiet but in such a common and desirable location there is the odd loud group walking down the alley outside. Room was $27 with a double bed, AC and a simple breakfast. Quite enjoyable overall!

Absolutely recommend this hotel. I stayed here some time ago, and my experience was very positive. Traveling in a foreign country can be intimidating and it is hard to trust people, but when i realised I had left a couple of hundred dollars in my room, and was only alble to return briefly in the middle of the night 10...

We arrived at the Blue River hotel ridiculously early after an overnight train from Nha Trang. We were able to go straight into an upgraded room much earlier than the check in time. While that was very nice of the hotel staff, and something that would never happen in the States, our room looked like a low budget standard room.... More

Perfect location in city center Very quiet rooms (hotel is located in a quiet alley) which is a plus in HCMC and brand new furniture/ bathroom and comfy bed ( a hard thing to find in Viet Nam) and...

This hotel is in a small laneway in the heart of the backpacker area. The hotel is small and the staff were lovely. They spoke excellent English and were very helpful. They suggested lots of local restaurants and food to try. We found lots of places where we were the only non-veitnamese - so lots of places we would not... More

Perfect service, the staff can't be faulted. In a great location, and the little alleyway beautiful with local kids playing football. I loved HCMC. Our room was the least nice that we'd stayed in during our trip. The photos of white and blue furnishings aren't what we saw. We were in room 301. The window looks onto the wall next... More

Booked for 2 nights at Blue River 1, stayed for 6 nights. $27 for 2, including A1 air-con, TV, b/fast. Room made daily, hotel super clean, friendly staff, good security. Very quiet, spacious room, very comfy beds. Well located in District 1. Maybe not the best place to book your tours.

The staff were very friendly, and very helpful. They gave me advices on where to go and what to do since i was travelling alone. They even booked tours for me. All in all, my travel to Vietnam alone is one of the best experience in my life.
