During my recent stay at the Nouveau Happy Inn Hotel in Saigon, I found it to be a comfortable and convenient budget option for travelers looking for a central location. The hotel is situated in District 1, which makes it easy to access major attractions like Ben Thanh Market and the vibrant nightlife of Bui Vien Street.Rooms: The rooms are basic but clean, offering essentials like air conditioning, a TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The bed was comfortable, though the decor could benefit from some modern updates. Noise from the nearby streets was minimal, but if you’re a light sleeper, it’s worth requesting a room on a higher floor.Service: The staff were friendly and helpful, offering assistance with transportation and local tips. Check-in and check-out were smooth, though there was sometimes a language barrier that required a bit of patience.Facilities: The hotel offers some additional services, like airport shuttles and laundry, which are great conveniences for budget travelers. However, the amenities are fairly limited—there’s no in-house dining beyond basic breakfast options, and the hotel doesn’t have a pool or fitness center.Overall: If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay in the heart of Saigon, the Nouveau Happy Inn provides good value for money. While it’s not a luxury experience, it’s a solid choice for travelers prioritizing location and basic comforts...
Read moreThe star system is only good for casual foreign travellers, applicable only when judging amenities or provisions. My review here id for those who have travelled frequently to this city, and for those who seek conveniences when staying in HCM city for linger than a week.First off, there are 3 different rooms. Small room e no windows, large w 2 quuen beds, and large with 1 king. All the reviews before mine have some truth depending on one's personal experience. But if one is to evaluate this mini hotel on the category it belongs, then it should immediately stand out.For example, for as little as $19, you get to stay within few hundred meters to all the major points like Central Park, Old Presidential Palace, and Ben Thanh Market, where all the other hotels charge 3 to 8 times as much.Another point to consider is the transportation. One can cross the street to find a major bus connection transfer that can take people to anywhere else within city limits and beyond. Further more, a taxi ride to the airport merely costs $7.The staff do speak some English if you're a little patient. That said, the manager has some serious connections to travel industry if one wants something done.If one needs to stay longer than 2 weeks, discount rate is available.Look beyond the star system and you will find this place...

The hotel staff asked for our passports and when we came to check out in the morning they held our passports ransom and told us we had to pay!|Rang Nouveau Happy inn and spoke to the same lady we spoke to the evening before who denied ever seeing our booking which we showed her and denied saying we did not have to pay. She was beyond rude and was completely unreasonable saying we had to speak to agoda as we had not paid. |We checked our bank and the money hadn't been taken at this point so we therefore paid the second hotel and kept a receipt. The next day Nouveau Happy inn has charged us for staying at there hotel and we are currently in discussion with agoda trying to get our money back.|I am absolutely disgusted by this hotel and the lady who we spoke to was so rude and awful! |DO...
