This is a very pleasant, good value, quiet hotel in the heart of the backpacker district. It's on a narrow lane between Pham Ngu Lao and Bui Vien; there's some motorcycle traffic, but I never heard even that in my room. Spacious a/c room, with a fan as well and a balcony was a good deal at US$16/night. Very nice... More

Ly Loan is a great place in the middle of Pham Ngu Lao district, between Búi Viên and Pham Ngu Lao street, second "Hem" it’s a big great place with trustworthy owners, after a big late night it’s no problem to ring the nightbell, what can be easy if you are around the corner for a late night with drinking...

Clean and basic its pretty decent for the money- I think about $16/night. The location is good- close to the centre of Ho Chi Minh and near lots of touristy restaurants and bars. The hosts are lovely though their English is a bit patchy. They sold water to us at a great bargain price. Also they arranged a tour to... More

Our first experience of a Vietnamese hostel. We arrived early, our room was available and we were able to check-in at a relatively indecent hour of the morning. Our first impression was a basic, clean, no-frills guesthouse with an enthusiastic and helpful host, with cheap water (5000 Dong!) ! Unfortunately, after our first day exploring the city we returned to... More

We stayed in a double room for $16, it was basic but it was clean, the bed was decently comfortable, the a/c, wifi, and hot water worked, and the hosts were friendly. For $16 it's a good deal if you don't need luxuries. Location is good too, in the Pham Ngu Lao area. They will book tours and buses for... More

We stayed at Ly Loan back in early March for 5 nights and was very happy with our experience. It's right in the heart of the back-packer area with easy access to restaurants, transportation, and exciting Ho Chi Minh City entertainment. The host family is awesome, they make sure your stay is wonderful at all times and always offer up... More

Ly Loan guesthouse is down one of the many alleyways housing lots of guesthouses where the open tour buses drop you off. The location is great and it is easily within walking distance of all the central sights in the city. There are also lots of touristy and some local restaurants very nearby. The description on the website that I... More

Very clean room, fast Wi-Fi connection, TV satellite, fridge, good air con, huge bathtub, hot water, very large room for Saigon... We usually do not write reviews, but this guest house is fantastic. Huah and her family are really hospitable, we felt very welcomed. Highly recommended.

We initially booked our first night through hostels.com and arrived to our booked room no problem. It didn't take long for them to hand us tour brochures and we stayed a couple more nights, paying daily for our room. Every day we were asked where we are going and what we were doing-maybe just being polite? We attempted to pay... More
