Cozrum Homes Ambera House

Not a bad little studio if you get it on a deal. Located down an alley and a bit far away from things if you’re only walking, and often taxi drivers can’t get all the way to the apartment as the alley is too narrow. Clean but could use a refurb. Not great in terms of noise - people shouting and dogs barking in the alleys, however this does add to the local feel. Wouldn’t have had a problem with any of this however we did encounter a potential safety issue while we were checking in - the one time code had expired after we’d left for 5 minutes to grab some water and the key card did not register as it was supposed to to open the gate. It was midnight at this point and we called the ‘24/7’ hotline for help to get in and no response at all. Did feel very unsafe at that time of the night and fortunately we got lucky as a resident came down to collect his food and let us in, else we may have ended up stranded on our first night in HCMC. Did leave a bad taste in our mouths especially as the staff were not apologetic. However they did rectify the issue eventually. Would only recommend if you are checking in during daylight hours in case there is an issue as it is an unstaffed building.

This is a very basic budget apartment room. Very tiny, low spacious bathroom. Very close to Nguyen Trai Street, which has a lot of shops for clothes and dresses. Suitable for locals and local couples. For Foreigners this is o.k. low budget seeking solo male travellers. For solo females o.k. but very isolate area and difficult to find the location. Car cannot be reached to hotel. You have to take luggage by hand to hotel. Also, if you have more luggages don't book this one. This is a self checking hotel. So you must have wi fi in your phone before entering to hotel. They give links how to checking. For all that you need internet connection in your phone. No TV Working. Only you tube.
