The Alley Saigon Hotel

Our flight was delayed, I have contacted the hotel for a late check-in and they quickly replied to messages, allowing late check-in with a warm welcome. The manager Beny was very helpful booking us day trips around, and made us a pleasant staying by providing useful information to navigate Saigon. The location is convenient to Bui Vien Walking Street (nightlife) and also close to the city centre. Loads of restaurants and pubs nearby withing seconds. In simple terms, name it and you'll have it, just ask the staff. I was previously visiting Saigon, and i will return to this hotel, if that's the case.

Vietnam-The old trees, the old people, and the little kids. Vietnam is the only country where all the citizens are part of the family. Get away from Walking Street and explore Saigon and all its riches. From the ALLEY SAIGON HOTEL, next to Walking Street, and really, it's a part of, across the street is the Dori Hotel and hostel. They serve the most delicious ☕️. Next to it, and short down an alley, is a vegetarian restaurant with the best vegetarian meals I have ever had. From the ALLEY SAIGON HOTEL, up the alley, in the other direction, I would leave and have coffee and eat in the other alleyways. There are good juice stands and higher class restaurants. The manager at the ALLEY is the most excellent man to get you the lowest cost taxi, help you with your tours, etc. The hotel also offers very great tours. The staff at the ALLEY were excellent. The rooms are what you pay for and come in a variety of accommodations.

The main block surrounding the hotel is brilliant. Apart from the sightseeing bus tour, we never left the block. We only stayed 2 days and that was probably enough - it was pretty hectic. The floors were meticulously cleaned and the staff were great.

Property management were very helpful, complimentary drink on arrival was very very nice and took our bags to the room for us. Our room (triple room) was spacious and very comfortable. The location was great, right next to Bien Vien walking street but but far away enough that we were not disturbed by the noise. Air con worked well. The only thing is that the shower always seemed a little cold, but that’s not a bad thing after a long sticky day in the sun!

The people here were lovely and friendly. I felt like I was coming home at the end of the day. The young man at the counter was very kind. He took me on my first motorbike ride so that I wouldn't get lost trying to find my way to a cafe on the other side of town. He also spoke very good english. First time travelling alone and first time in Vietnam, this was a great place to land.
