Meraki Boutique Hotel

We booked a room with window and got a room with a window. But there is a wall outside the window. So, we were not able to open the window. The air conditioner was not cool enough but it was still working.

One on my favourite distension 🇻🇳

This is not a hotel. This is a bad and old building with simple and abandoned dormitories. Location horrible. Extremely NOISY, music until 4am and lots of *********** around.

The location is great if you like being on the Saigon *****. I didn’t know this at the time of booking but that was purely my own oversight. This for me was just a base for my brief travel as my main purpose for visiting Saigon was to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels (amazing by the way, but off topic). The staff were polite and I only had one issue during my stay. There must be a rusted pipe beneath the floors that begun breaking as brown water seeped through the floor. When I noticed this, I put a towel down to soak it up as best I could and informed the night staff about it who stated that it was no problem and it would be sorted the next day. The next morning came and I spoke to the day receptionist about it whilst checking out of the hotel. He told me that I shouldn’t have put the towel down and now they can’t use it so I would have to pay for a new towel for 100 Dong… it worked out to a few quid so not much at all. It’s the principle that I was told it was okay to and then charged for the towel when it was caused by a maintenance issue. Apart from that, not a bad word to say about the hotel, it’s cheap, cheerful and despite the noise outside you can get a good kip.

The location is so loud and in the heart of the busy district of Saigon. More parties and seems not safe.

Ok good
