The location is excellent. Though on a busy street, you can't hear the sounds. The room was very adequate and very comfortable. The staff was willing to help and just gave us a great service throughout our stay. The breakfast, I've had better, but there is sports cafe nearby if you like which serves lovely breakfast. Staff arranged our airport... More

Was recommended SMH5 by a friend who stayed there a couple of years ago. Booked in for a long stay (7 weeks), no bad experiences at all. All of the staff are friendly and very helpful with recommending places to go and with booking tours and taxis etc.. My room was quiet and cool all the time, even when it... More

We booked a deluxe room for 3 person for 4 nights. Two days before arrival, I emailed the GM to request for an early check-in (10am), and to make sure that we get a quiet room, no bed-bugs, no air-con problems. These are our main concerns after reading reviews of other hotels in Saigon with these problems. We received the... More

In the 'backpackers' district, not far from the main markets, this area is by far the best area I've seen in SEA for backpacking areas! Hotel is Nice, great location all the attractions are within walking distance. Rooms are a good size and very clean. Staff are lovely. Breakfast is very good as well, quieter after 8am. Lots of restaurants... More

Overall experience is satisfactory, with receptions that can speak and understand English. Bellboy and security is helpful too, they guided us where to eat, what to see and what to do. Rooms are little bit small and not in good condition, but its fine for the price that we paid.

I stayed here from May 14-17, 2013. Upon arrival in the hotel at around 2:00 AM, I didn't notice that my room was booked for 1:00 PM that day so I had no place to stay. Unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked. One of the hotel staff helped me by calling other hotels for vacancies. When I was already staying... More

This is a great hotel located in the center of Ho Chi Minh city. The rooms are small but comfortable and very clean. Breakfast is served daily on the top floor. Tours can be arranged from the front desk. The staff are very helpful and happy. I would recommend this hotel.

I've been to Saigon Mini Hotel 5 twice, first with friends back in 2010, and then recently when I arrived in HCMC one day early for my business trip. You get the best bang for your buck in this hotel. Accessible location (although the entrance to the hotel and its immediate surroundings may look dodgy, especially at night), standard albeit...
