Huong Mai Ga Sai Gon

Huong Mai Ga Sai Gon is a 2-star hotel in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, 150 m from Saigon Railway Station and 3.4 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle, and the range runs from an 18 m² single room to a 32 m² family suite for up to four guests. It works well for short city stays, with a 24-hour front desk and a choice of room sizes.

The hotel has a bar and room service, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Free private parking is on site, although a reservation is needed, and WiFi in the rooms is free of charge. Only the Deluxe Room has a balcony, the one room with outdoor space.

Guests often mention the eateries, minimarts and ATMs within walking distance, the tidy rooms and the friendly team. The main drawback they raise is noise from the elevator and nearby construction, so light sleepers may want to weigh that up before booking.

Huong Mai Ga Sai Gon has four room types, from an 18 m² single room to a 32 m² family suite. Every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle, so the basic equipment is the same throughout. The rooms differ mainly in size, bedding and capacity. The Single Room has one single bed for one guest, the Superior Double Room and the Deluxe Room each have a large king-size bed for two, and the Family Suite has two king-size beds for up to four guests.

The Deluxe Room, at 25 m², is the only one with a balcony and sits between the Superior Double Room, at 21 m², and the Family Suite in size. Families and small groups will find the Family Suite the most practical choice, since it is the largest room and the only one that takes four guests.

The facilities are practical rather than extensive. A 24-hour front desk, room service and an on-site bar cover the basics of a stay, and every room has air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Internet services are also on offer, and the rooms come with an electric kettle for hot drinks.

Parking is free: free private parking is possible on site, but a reservation is needed. WiFi is available in the rooms and is free of charge, and non-smoking rooms are part of the offer.

The bar is the on-site dining option, and room service is available for guests who would rather eat in their room. Front desk staff are on duty around the clock, so late arrivals and requests can be handled at any hour.

Huong Mai Ga Sai Gon stands in District 3, a leafy residential area west of the central District 1 and about 2.3 km from the city centre. The streets around it are lined with small cafés and eateries: Nhà Hàng Ve Chai and Mì Xào Bò Ga Sài Gòn are both 50 m away, and Com Tu Thien is 100 m off. The hotel is on Nguyễn Phúc Nguyên street, where guests mention minimarts and ATMs within walking distance.

For travellers arriving by train, Saigon Railway Station is 150 m away, a short walk along the street, and local bus stops are close by. The Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 1.9 km from the hotel, while Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 3.4 km away. Getting around on foot covers the nearby streets, and the airport is a longer trip that is best made by taxi or car.

Sightseeing starts close by with the Chùa Vạn Quốc pagoda, 250 m from the hotel, and the Hoa Hung Market, 850 m away, where you can see the neighbourhood's daily life. Further afield, the War Remnants Museum is 1.5 km away, and Tao Dan Park, 1.7 km away, offers a green break from the traffic of the city centre. The War Remnants Museum covers the history of the Vietnam War, and together these give a good range of sights for a stay of a few days.
