Great fun place that’s suitable for families with young children and location is fantastic.
My kids love the hammock in the room and the multiple power points all over the room. Breakfast was great too.
Beds are a little low for my elderly parents

Great spacious stay in central Saigon
Comfortable spacious room in the center of a good touristic area. Minibar, water, snacks and washing were all free. Also the breakfast (3 changing options) was good quality and the skybar was very chic. All employees were friendly.
At times, the music at the Skybar was a bit loud. We had no issue sleeping, though. And overall the Skybar was a nice suprise

Highly recommended hotel to stay. No regrets.
What makes this hotel unique is the hammock in the room. Besides the complimentary snacks and drinks in the room and in the rooftop pantry, there's free laundry service too. Thanz to the hotel management for its generosity and being customer-oriented. On our second day, water leaked through the ceiling due to a faulty pipe on the upper floor. A new room was arranged for us immediately.
First and second floors are free study areas. So the first impression when entering the hotel lobby was confusion. So many tables and so many people at the lobby. 4 staff standing behind the counter we didn't know who to turn to. There's barely enough space to stand at the counter with our luggage bags without blocking the walkway. It would be better to remove 1 or 2 tables near the counter to give more space for check-in and check-out.

Lovely hotel, great service!
The free amenities were much appreciated.
We had to change locations and stayed at the other Hammock Hotel - this was not communicated to us but fortunately we had family arrive before us to clear up the confusion. This is most likely an issue with Booking.com.

Nice design but a small check-in & room space
Quirky & conceptual design, clean
Small check-in space, which is in the same floor with the cafe which is always crowded Small elevator There was a hack in the system so that spam email came in

Great value with amenities in a location that has many walkable experiences
Great location! We enjoyed all of the complimentary amenities, including the water, snacks and beer.

Very trendy and cool hotel
Very comfortable and ‘cool’ property. Lots of local creative types working quietly in the cafe downstairs. Roof top bar with free beer and snacks was very nice touch - open 24/7 and able to sit in the hammocks on the rooftop until the early morning - perfect. Room was very comfortable. Shower was brilliant - waterfall shower with very strong pressure
Nothing to call out

We didn’t tried the bfast as there’s plenty of options elsewhere
The staff didn’t speak much English There’s constant people at the lobby as it’s a study area 24/7 Very basic amenities - it felt more like a private hostel.

Nice place, comfortable! Full of young people but quiet place!
The vibe of the place is amazingly good. Lot of young students but really studying so it was great for me. The cafeteria and the free minibar made a huge difference.
A bit too crowses and the personal did not speak good english. The check in was a little too long cause the room was not available.

Cosy stay at HCM
Almost everything. - location quite good, short walk to Ben tanh Market, a lot of coffee shop nearby. - highly appreciated when they provide halal snacks. - we love the coffee for breakfast - The room is quite big and comfortable for 3 of us with window
pillow and mattress quite soft

Cosy rooms for a nice comfortable stay. People with knee problems might find it difficult to get up and down from the bed, since the bed is at a very low level. A wide range of free food, both inside the room and on the terrace, is unique of its kind.

Loved it
Was a perfect place for a us as a family of 3 with a 2.5yo - she could tire herself a bit on a hammock in the room then on the swings during the breakfast and then on the playground in the park which is 5min walk from the hotel. Free snacks and drinks are unbeatable too

- Not the best quality / price ratio, was pretty expensive for the quality of the room
- Location, about 5-10min away from the market and city centre - Clean modern design - Free snacks and drinks in the pantry
- No hot water on the first night, there was some on the second one but not very warm and took a long time to come out - The room was clean but a bit worn out (many stains on the wall and furniture)

A generous friendly hotel.
I liked the generousity of the hotel and that the minibar was free. I liked the roof terrace for breakfast. Breakfast was good - and good to be varied.
I was sad that I couldn’t easily see the window from most of my room.

Exceptional stay, great location and unlimited complimentary drinks & snacks
Excellent stay ! We are a family of 5 , this place is miraculously close to every landmark one would like to cover in HCM City. We walked down to all the places. The rooms are very cozy yet spacious. Loved the fact that the room pantry was full all the time and totally free & included in the room charges. Th highlights are the Rooftop pantry which is open 24/7 with nice sitting area and Choice or beers, snacks , coffee tea all of it was free and unlimited. The staff was very courteous. Also, it has the 24/7 coffee Shop at ground floor, the vibe of the place is exceptional and the bakery and coffee choices were amazing !
Breakfast option are very limited and apart from the staff at the lobby rest of the staff may not speak English.

This charming little establishment was a mix of youthful hostel energy and cool boutique hotel vibes. The staff were friendly and very helpful! The location was great- in the middle of things but still quiet and peaceful. I loved everything about it!

Good experiance
The location, the cleanliness, the staffs and unlimited use of the minibar and pantry!! Also 24/7 cafe at the lobby. The location is in the middle of the touristic area where you can explore everything at walking distance. The hammocks inside the room is so nice that kids enjoy it. The roof top dining area is amazing to sit and chill out together with family or friends. The breakfast is set menu but different options to choose from and all are good.

Great stay in HCMC!
Clean rooms, excellent location, unlimited snacks/mini bar, washer dryer, great set meal breakfasts. There is also a 24hr cafe and a study lounge This place was perfect for us.
Very very minor but a hook behind the bathroom door for clothes and towels would be super helpful.

Perfect Location and Free Flow Snacks
The room and location was perfect. Booked a room for 3 and it felt very spacious. They provide snacks and beverages in the lounge.
Breakfast choice. Anyway, there are two Banh Mi stores situated just outside of the hotel which was perfect!

Comfortable room
Spacious, clean room. Free snacks and drinks from the mini bar and pantry.

Everything! The bed was comfortable, facilities perfect, there was washing machines and tumble driers which were complimentary and self service, there is a minibar with food and drinks in the room again complimentary and on the roof terrace there were drinks, snacks and pastries which were also complimentary! We checked out and the staff kindly let us leave our bags at the hotel and then when we came back we had a couple of hours till our taxi came for the airport so they allowed us to stay on the terrace till we needed to leave! I can't rate this hotel enough, I would definitely definitely recommend!
Absolutely nothing, perfect location to walk to all sites, shops, restaurants and anything you could possibly want is on the doorstep, staff friendly and so accommodating, just do it, just book! We wish we could have stayed longer! Thankyou

Comfortable, cozy place to stay within walking distance to major attractions!
Great location. Walking distance to many of the “must see” in HCMC sites. Reception was very kind and helpful. Laundry facility was the perk I didn’t know I’d love! Having snacks and drinks available when traveling with a teen was a plus!
I chose this property as it was touted as clean which is quite important to me. Overall, it was very clean. However, the toilet in our room had noticeable grime on the backside of the toilet seat and along the base. This is an easy scrub to make it even cleaner!

Well above expectations in all aspects
Ntg much, just the linen could be cleaner But, doesnt affect much
3 April 2023
Very good
Well designed refurbished rooms. Nice breakfast selection of multiple options that change each day, cooked individually. Decent location. Free drinks and snacks in room and on roof terrace. Bottom two floors are cafe and study space, so always lots of people around.
Refurb is fairly superficial. Electrics, etc, seem quite old. Street hotel is on is only slightly busy for HCMC, but walking to the centre means crossing a pretty crazy roundabout.

Great property
Comfortable and big room Free treats for guests like beer, water, tidbits, yogurt, milk Good water pressure Great location Friendly staff
Room aircond was very warm One of the staff hygienic was unacceptable, she digged her nose and without washing her hands , she made n served customer their food. TV channels isnt working at all throughout the stay

Good location in Saigon with free unlimited minibar
- Free mini bar and rooftop area with unlimited mini bar - location was great, walkable to Ben Thanh market - staff were friendly and helpful
- Sound proofness of rooms was really bad, could hear others going in an out of rooms on our level/ moving furniture about - bathroom was a bit old, with showerhead a bit leaky - Overall vibe/quality of hotel was probably a bit lower than our expectations from listing photos
19 March 2023
clean and modern accommodation
Everything! From the breeze during check in and free mini bar that consist of drinks, beer and limitless chips. Rooftop breakfast with a change in daily selection and pleasant atmosphere and cleanliness. It was also a short walk to a famous banh mi food outlet.
We stayed in the extra large nest, 1 queen and 1 super single bed. The spring in the super single mattress is no longer supportive. The hotel should look into replacing it so that guest can have a good night's rest.

A central location with good amenities and friendly staff
We loved the room, it was comfy quiet and in a good location for walking and doing tours. The breakfast choices changed daily and were tasty. We also really enjoyed the free snacks and beer which we enjoyed on the roof top hammocks!
It would be great if it had a pool for those hot nights but otherwise it was great!
9 March 2023
Would definitely stay here again
Really liked the style of the rooms and the concept of free minibar and drinks on the rooftop. Also thought the breakfast was great (I went for the more local option with Pho, spring roles etc). They were also flexibility with a later check out which allowed me to do one more tour and freshen up after
Nothing really, would book again

very good stay, would come back again, going to tell friends and family

Very good
I loved that they offer a free snack bar on the rooftop, which is accessible any time of the day: They offer a wide range of options: pastries, yogurt, snacks, soft drinks, and beer. The staff is super kind and welcoming. The location is excellent too. There is also a very popular Banh Mi joint across the street, about 5 minute's walk from the hotel, which is a must-try.
The hotel offers three different breakfast options: toast, beef soup noodles, and mac and cheese. The food in general was disappointing. I would say that the only impressive option was the soup noodles.
