My Kim Mekong Hotel

Stumbled upon this place while looking for some affordable accommodation for 2 people. Some other hotels nearby were either booked up or slightly more expensive than here. Here, we got a room for $18USD total that was shown to us before booking.

Very central location in Can Tho. The room and bathroom was nice enough and very clean, with air conditioning. 

The owner was very helpful, accommodating, and spoke good English. Would recommend this place!

Accidentally found this place and had a great experience 

The room is pretty cheap, so good for budget travellers... However we found cigarettes in our room and the room smelled bad from people smoking in the room next to us. 
We checked out after just 1 night, because we didn't feel like the sheets had been washed. 

Hmm...

The hotel was recommended by a Vietnamese friend. It is a high-rise building in the city center near the waterfront. The rooms are very simple and ascetic. From the top floors you can see a beautiful view of the river and the bridge through Mekong.

Budget hotel near the waterfront

The hotel was well situated (near the river and the boatwalks, as well as the centre and the restaurants) and not very expensive.

Good for a short stay on a low budget

I got hustled into this hotel after I realised Tay ho hotel was fully booked. The room was 11 usd which is cheap but it really was a terrible room. The sheet and blanket smelled of moscito spray, the bathroom wasn't particularly clean, the shower did not work and I got scammed into also buying a boat trip that cost me 40 usd plus 180 vd for a basic meal. On top if that it was very loud and I could not sleep most of the night. All in all a bad experience. I highly recommend going to Tay oh where you will find a spotlessly clean room and friendly staff.

Bad experience

The rooms at My Kim are great, as is the value: clean, fresh towels given, friendly staff.
HOWEVER!!!  BUY NO TOURS OR TICKETS HERE!!!
I did indeed read of another person being over-charged.... the staff here is quite friendly, responsive, and helpful with information.
  Upon arrival, I was pretty-well hounded by two men(later, one) and one of the staff guys to purchase a trip--tour of the Floating Markets. There are two tour versions: the short, of 4 hrs, and the longer, of 7 hrs. I wanted the longer trip. The first price quoted was $30, which I gave no attention to whatsoever; then $25. no. Then $20, which was declared as the good price for two people in the boat-- I am a solo traveler. I was then told that I could get a real deal, as there was a young German woman who had already paid $20, and I could pair with her, and IF I PROMISED to say nothing, I could get the trip for $15-- and I really must say nothing to the other person.  I told them I would give an answer within an hour.
  Upon returning from having some dinner, the staff guy quickly came and wanted my answer. Yes, for $15, which I brought down again to 3000,000d -only a slight difference.. The next morning, there was no single woman. They wanted to put me into a boat with another couple. I said no. The man said yes; I said no. He was persistent in wanting me to go with a couple, and I was persistent in going with the young German woman (I speak German, and was looking forward to sharing this trip with her). I said no to sharing a boat with a second couple, and the couple was quite set in not sharing their boat with a third person. The man said yes, I must go in a boat with another couple; I said no, I must not anything. They ended having me go solo in the boat-- which was not at all what I preferred.... The trip was Good, and returned after 6 1/2 hrs.  
   The next day I was going onward.... all the way thru Saigon, past Phan Thiet, to Nha Trang.  The guy said he could sell me a ticket for $25, sleeping bus. He said this was not a long trip, and it was a good sleeping bus.  I said OK.   The bus was a local, stopping VERY often to take on produce, seafood, and people. The driver loved honking his horn rather being at all patient-- quite loud!!  There was a toilet, quite FILTHY, though fortunately without any smell(they did spray in there).  There were back-to-back movies, two with English subtitles, one dubbed over in Vietnamese-- until the driver deemed it time for Karaoke!   There was ONE stop, about 11:30 pm, 9 1/2 hrs after departure!   The bus arrived Nha Trang at 6am--- a trip of 16 very long hpurs!  Inside the bus station, I saw tickets from Nha Trang to CanTho available for 310,000d. I had paid 500,000d -- with another 25,000d tacked on, probably for the ride to the bus station, which he proclaimed was FREE. 
 215,000d overcharge: 
 I was in a LOCAL bus, had been charged for a "NICE" bus ::  
PLEASE!!  REFRAIN from purchasing any Tours or Tickets from My Kim !! 
 otherwise, they are a Great place to stay.
If one can only stay there, and have the will to "Just say NO",   then I would recommend My Kim.

Good Room, Service---BUY NO TOURS, TICKETS!!!!!

My Kim Hotel is just 50 metres away from Ninh Kieu riverside. Very covenient for your floating market trip on the next morning as well as other attractions along Hai Ba Trung street that can approached just by walk.

The hotel is small with basic interiors. Room is clean and comfortable. Boys at reception desk are cute and very helpful.

Perfect option for a tight budget

Friendly staff, we've paid $10 for a room for two with TV, air conditioning, bathroom, wifi. The hotel is conveniently located 15 meters from the river, close to the small restaurants.

Very good price ratio

Since we didn't arrive until late in the evening and were happy to have found a room, we stayed here for one night. The room was very neat and not very clean. Maybe the rooms with a window are better. There was WIFI on the room anyway and the location is also very good, which is near the river, near the Ho Chi Minh statue. There are many restaurants there. It was also nice that we didn't have to check out early at 5 a.m. but only after we got back from the Mekong tour, like around 12:30. So for one night, OK, we wouldn't have stayed longer.
