About
Thien Vu Hotel - Ho Chi Minh City

The property sits within 4 km of the Central Post Office, although guests typically use it as a convenient stopover near Tan Son Nhat International Airport. The hotel is a small, family-run operation, and the staff's warmth and willingness to help are recurring themes in guest feedback.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional, personal service — Guests consistently highlight the friendly owners and staff, who go out of their way—driving guests to the airport or into town, offering local advice, and helping with luggage.
- Ideal for airport transit — A short drive to Tan Son Nhat International Airport makes this a practical choice for early departures or late arrivals, with taxi rides reported at $3–$5.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Rooms are frequently described as spotlessly clean and comfortable, with some guests noting the quality rivals higher-starred hotels.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No elevator — The building lacks an elevator, which may be a challenge for guests with mobility issues or heavy luggage. Staff do assist with bags, however.
- Far from downtown attractions — While close to the airport, the hotel is a 20-minute taxi ride from the city centre, making it less convenient for exploring Ho Chi Minh City's sights.
- Basic facilities — This is a budget hotel with a simple setup—no elevator and limited amenities. Some guests found the airport taxi arrangement to be more expensive than the meter rate.

7.4Verified guest“The owner, Mr. Chiet, was incredibly friendly and helpful. He recommended a great local pho spot and even drove us around the city late at night. The room was clean, and after our Hanoi trip, it felt like coming home.”
7.4Verified guest“This family hotel is comfortable and reasonably priced. The father and son speak good English and gave us sightseeing tips. The welcome drink was a nice touch. It's about 5 km from downtown, a 15-minute taxi ride for under 80,000 dong. The airport shuttle is a bit pricey at $15 round-trip, but the car is great.”
7.4Verified guest“No elevator, but the staff carried our bags up. They also brought a complimentary pineapple juice to my room. At $13 and close to the airport, it was great value for an overnight visa run.”
7.4Verified guest“The staff were friendly and the rooms very clean. We got fresh pineapple juice on arrival, and at 6am the manager drove us to a travel agency downtown. Very good value for money.”
7.4Verified guest“Welcomed with a cold drink, the room was spotless. The hotel is on a quiet street, easy to get into the centre by cheap taxi or bus—about 20 minutes outside rush hour.”
7.4Verified guest“Excellent staff, greeted us with fresh fruit juice after a long flight from Australia. They helped arrange taxis and tours, and the room was cleaned daily. Location is 20 minutes from the city centre, about £3-4 by taxi.”
