Hoang Lan Hotel

After a long search and cancelling other bookings (because it's hard to find decent hotels with two beds in Ho Chi Minh city) we finally ended up booking Hoang Lan Hotel and it was worth every effort! It ticked all the boxes in terms of amenities and facilities but what stood out most for us was the hospitality and service! Ms. Lang who runs the hotel is such a lovely lady. She guided us through to book tours, find vegetarian restaurants and great massage places. A lovely elderly couple in the kitchen went out of their way to cater to our vegetarian needs and also make our young children comfortable. Although it was a hotel, for us it felt like a homestay. They took care of us so well!

I liked that it is in a quiet area, and after a very noisy day in Ho Chi Minh, you can rest in peace.

The room was always cleaned every single day and it smells AMAZING 🤩 The staff is always nice and friendly, we could leave our luggages after our check out. The location is super close to District 1. It is a quiet neighborhood and it's easy to sleep. The aircon is cold and the bed is super comfy. The size of the room is also big enough for 3 people to fit and to open all luggages. I love that they have slippers in the room also and they always restock water bottles every day. The breakfast is the same every day but it is good (pho, croissant, breads, juices, bacon, sausages, dumplings, etc.) They have an elevator too so you don't need to use the stairs. It is a quaint, well-maintained hotel. I liked my stay here. The wifi is also very decent.

The staff was super nice and friendly. The hotel was clean and the location was great, super quiet in such a huge busy city. Definitely a hidden gem. Was also really close to some minimarkets, the war museum and a great restaurant - Man moi. We never had such flavors in our trip so far to Vietnam as at that restaurant. Don’t miss this restaurant btw. The rest of the food we tried so far in Vietnam doesn’t compare to it. The breakfast was decent, nice selection of some pastries, flan/yoghurt, fruits, freshly made pho or eggs, coffee with different types of milk options and some traditional dishes. It might not seem so grand as to other hotels, but breakfast really should not be a deal breaker. We loved our stay and if we were to go again to Ho Chi Minh, we would book here again no hesitation.

It's hard to find a quiet spot in a city as vibrant and noisy as HCMC, but Hoang Lan is just that. It's tucked behind another large building and thus away from the street noise. It was so nice to come back to our comfortable, quiet room after a day of exploring the many sights, sounds, and tastes of HCMC. The hotel is also a short walk both to the war remnants museum and to Tao Dan park, which is a great place to get a glimpse of how ordinary folks spend some of their leisure time. The staff are also super friendly, and the breakfast, while relatively simple, was always fresh and served with care. Highly recommended.
