Ngọc Châu Hotel Hồ Chí Minh

Ngọc Châu Hotel Hồ Chí Minh is a hotel in District 10 of Ho Chi Minh City, 2.5 km from the city centre, with air-conditioned rooms that all have a private bathroom. The range runs from double rooms to quadruple rooms for up to four guests, and Saigon Railway Station is a short walk away.

Rooms measure 18 to 20 m², and the range includes family rooms as well as quadruple rooms with one or two large beds. The bathrooms come with a walk-in shower, a bidet, a hairdryer and free toiletries, and every room has a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle.

The hotel suits travellers who want a practical base in the city, with a lift, a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security. Several cafés and restaurants lie within 100 m, and Chùa Phước Hải pagoda and the Khu du lịch Kỳ Hòa park are both 350 m away. Its rooms are simple in layout but complete in equipment, which suits a stay built around sightseeing rather than time spent indoors.

Ngọc Châu Hotel Hồ Chí Minh has five room types, from the Double Room to the Quadruple Room, and all of them have a private bathroom and air conditioning. The Double Room and the Standard Double Room both measure 18 m² and have a large bed for two guests, while the Superior Double Room and the two quadruple types measure 20 m².

The bathrooms share the same fittings, with a walk-in shower, a bidet, a hairdryer and free toiletries, and every room has a flat-screen TV, a seating area and an electric kettle. The quadruple rooms sleep up to four guests: the Superior Quadruple Room has one large bed, while the Quadruple Room has two, so the range covers couples as well as groups of four.

The services centre on round-the-clock staffing: a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security are on duty, and daily housekeeping keeps the rooms in order. A lift serves the building, and CCTV covers the common areas and the outside of the property.

Free public parking is possible on site, and no reservation is needed. WiFi is free of charge in the public areas, the property is non-smoking throughout, and family rooms are offered.

In the rooms, the bathrooms have a shower, a bidet, a toilet, a hairdryer and free toiletries, and each room has a wardrobe or closet, a clothes rack, a seating area, an electric kettle, a refrigerator and a socket near the bed. A flat-screen TV and internet services complete the list.

The hotel is on Cao Thắng street in District 10, 2.5 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. Cafés and restaurants line the nearby streets, so eating out on foot is easy, and the district mixes small shops with pagodas and parks. The Chùa Phước Hải pagoda is 350 m away, and the Khu du lịch Kỳ Hòa park is 350 m from the hotel as well. The FITO Museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine, 400 m away, is a detour for anyone interested in herbal remedies.

Transport links are within a few kilometres of the hotel. Saigon Railway Station, the city's main rail terminal, is 850 m away, and the Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Vĩnh Viễn bus station is 1.1 km away. Ben Thanh Station is 2.5 km away, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the city's main international airport, lies 3.7 km from the hotel. The railway station is roughly a 10-minute walk, so anyone travelling light can reach the train on foot.

For sightseeing, the War Remnants Museum, on the Vietnam War, is 1.9 km away, and the Fine Arts Museum is 2.7 km away. Most of the larger sights in this part of the city lie between 2 and 4 km away, so a taxi covers them quickly. For fresh food and everyday shopping, the Chợ Bàn Cờ market is 850 m from the hotel, and the Ho Thi Ky Food Street, 950 m away, is the nearby place for local dishes. The Zoo and Botanical Garden is the furthest of these, a longer trip across the city.
