This is a simple and basic place to stay. It was affordable and the bed was comfortable. Free bottles of water. Good air con. We were able to get this booking at the very last minute. 
There was a lot of dust on the ledge above the bed. Bathroom had mould in the grout of the tiles. The locks on the hotel doors were extremely difficult to use - our key snapped in the door. Extremely loud due to the location is right next to many night clubs.

Basic but does the job

Everything was almost perfect food, rooms, activities, parties, all the stuff expecially the animators, they are number one! They make you feel like home, we had so much fun with them everynight and everyday, if you meet Bubbles and Omar, you ll have such a great time, trust me. 
I personally love this resort and the people.

Animators

It's a small and old hotel with elevator. Room and bathroom are old but ok for the price. I booked with agoda. Good aircon. Hot water problem at first and they fixed it. They probably can sell until the next renovation with this very low price. Surprisingly the rate included set breakfast for 2 and the view at top floor where we had breakfast was very good. I saw the name of this hotel many years ago but stayed elsewhere. This time I tried it as I wanted to be in the middle of the noisy street Bui Vien. I could hear a bit of all the bar music in my room but it didn't bother me.

Services from the evening Front Desk male staff and the lady at breakfast were cold like the old fashion style, not like in this competative current years where every hotel staff are happy when they see the customers. When we checked out, another male staff was better. Overall, we're satisfied with the value so I rated 4 out of 5.

Old hotel with low price

This is the worst hotel we ever stayed in! All good reviews are paid. Please do not trust them. The day we checked-in, the manager said he had no booking in our name whereas we had confirmed our reservation a day in advance. He made us wait for two hours at the reception when a few angry guests checked out early and complained about the loud music that didn't let them sleep. Well, the hotel is located in a busy pub street and post 10 pm the decibel levels go crazy!  The manager was not only rude but also least bothered about any guest. Ignoring the complaints, he stormed out for a smoke. Ah attitude! 

Coming to the rooms....The rooms are tiny and not large as the reviews portray. The decades old mattress makes freaking noise. The bathroom was dirty and lights out of order. Our room had a gross painting of two people in a sexual explicit position. Looked like we checked-into a brothel.Breakfast is served on terrace cafe and it is limited. Can you believe that?  Meraki was the worst experience of our life. Please stay here at your own risk or if you are a budget travel.

Avoid if you can

It is the best hotel if:

1. You like a room in red-light area of Ho Chi Minh City.

2. You like extremely loud n thumping  music in room 24x7 courtesy streets 

3. You like leaky faucets. 

4. Rude reception. 

The worst hotel in the wotld

Walked into the property and there was chewing gum stuck to all the carpets, tbere was a bat in the middle of the floor that the employee removed with a tissue?!? Rooms smell of smoke, bin hasn’t been emptied, windows are dirty, bathroom roof is disgusting. Not to mention the noise is ridiculous. DO NOT STAY HERE 

Disgusting 


Hotel was awful, it sits on the busy pub street, which has blaring music till 6am, so no sleep whatsoever.

On arrival after long day travelling we were advised that the room we originally booked was not available but we were fed lies that we were getting a free upgrade (read previous reviews they do this to move your room and charge additional costs, SCAM), god forbid what the other room was like, as our so called upgrade was disgusting, we were also advised we couldn’t use or sit on the 2 other beds in the room, which seemed completely bizarre. 

Before even entering the room we were met with a bat outside our door which started to fly around us 😫when we got into the room the first light didn’t work and we had to find our way to the next light switch whilst hearing more bats coming from the actual room🤦🏽‍♀️. When we finally got a light on I was not impressed, the furniture looked like it had seen better days, not only could we not sit on the other beds, we certainly couldn’t sit on the couch as it had some very suspect staining. There were nails hanging out of the walls and mould over a big area of the room. The pictures on the website do not do it justice, I have attached below just some of the delights we had to endure. 

Not only could we not sleep due to the blaring music from the street, which was not drowned out by the one panel windows (not even sure triple glazing would sort that noise) but the constant squeaking and the smell of pee from the bats well and truly kept us awake with fear they would come out, so the lights were kept on all night. We also got some cockroaches around the room as visitors, just for good measure as it wasn’t bad enough. 
The bathroom was disgusting, so much so I didn’t even want to shower in it, looked like the place had lacked a good clean for a very very long time. The plugs didn’t work either so we had to charge our phones in the bathroom.

Needless to say we organised another hotel after just one horrendous night but it didn’t end there we rudely contacted by the man at reception shouting down the phone to get to reception immediately for a trip I’d cancelled, when both me and my friend tried to explaining on two separate calls over his shouting we were each time rudely hung up on.

The best part was when we were checking out, he tried to convince us we could have a quieter room and when I brought up being shouted at we were not even met with an apology. This hotel is completely dodgy and unprofessional, do yourself a favour and avoid at all cost. 

Do not stay here

It does look just like you see in the photos. You must make sure you are aware that it is on a party street as we were not before we arrived. He said we were going to be in a ‘quiet rooms’ 502 and 602. Neither of which were even slightly quiet. So by the second night we went by the motto ‘if you can’t beat them joint then’ and had a few drinks with the locals. Breakfast was okay too. Lovely view over the city. Big love to the lovely gentlemen who worked there though. Happy smiles all the time, opened doors for us and were all round great people! 


Just okay

I stayed with my mother who has a knee problem, upon seeing her physical condition, we were given a room on lower level. The hotel is very well located for tourists, as pubs, restaurants, tour agencies, food stalls, ATM, parks, massage parlours, currency exchanges, banks, shops,  etc. The street turns into a total party at night. If you like quiet, skip this one. The room was just as it was advertised in photos. The staff were very friendly, specially the day time receptionist, kind and sweet, he informed, and guided me a lot. The rooftop has a great view of the city, having had breakfast here, was very soothing. I just wished breakfast menu had more options. Overall, a good stay, great experience at Amazing Location.

Good budget hotel

AHMED YHAIA.
Best of the best. It makes a special impression on the restaurant service. Always smiling, always in the mood, always attentive to the guests, very cultural. The first thing I will remember this summer in this beautiful hotel is the face and smile of AHMED YHAIA.
