Alleyway home

Alleyway home is a 1-star hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that have balconies, private bathrooms and city views. The hotel sits on an alleyway in the downtown area, where the Thai Binh Market, a church and a pagoda are within a few hundred metres.

The rooms come in two sizes. The Double Room measures 22 m² and has one double bed, a kitchenette, a balcony and a shower with a bidet. The Family Room, at 50 m², has two king-size beds, a kitchen, a private entrance and room for up to four guests. Both have air conditioning, soundproof walls and a flat-screen TV.

Shared facilities include a terrace, an open-air bath, a bar, a snack bar, a massage service, a spa and wellness centre, a fitness centre and a 24-hour front desk. An airport shuttle, bicycle rental and daily housekeeping complete the practical side of the stay.

Alleyway home has two room types, and both share the same core comforts: a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, soundproof walls, a minibar and a balcony. Each one has a kitchen area with a refrigerator, a microwave and an electric kettle, so guests can prepare simple meals without leaving the room.

The difference lies mainly in size and layout. The Double Room, at 22 m², suits two guests with one double bed and a compact footprint, and it has a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. The Family Room is more than twice as large at 50 m², with two king-size beds, a private entrance and a landmark view alongside the city view, and it sleeps up to four people.

The most distinctive facilities are for relaxation. Alongside the terrace and the open-air bath, the hotel offers a spa and wellness centre, a massage service, a sauna, a fitness centre and a public bath. Outdoor furniture and BBQ facilities add to the outdoor side of the property.

For practical needs there is a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, laundry, a concierge service, a tour desk, currency exchange and a business centre. An airport shuttle and bicycle rental are also offered, and free WiFi is available in all areas. No parking is available at the property.

Dining is limited to a bar, a snack bar and special diet menus available on request, and every room has a minibar. Families can choose from family rooms, and facilities for disabled guests are also provided. Flat-screen TVs and internet services are also available.

Alleyway home is on an alleyway in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, where shops, cafés and small restaurants share the streets. Quán Khuyên restaurant is 50 m away, Trung Nguyen E-Coffee 100 m away and Thai Binh Market 300 m away. The Chùa Lâm Tế pagoda is 300 m away and the Nhà Thờ Đức Bà Fatima church 400 m away. Taxis may not be able to drive all the way into the alley, so the last stretch can be on foot.

Ben Thanh Station is 1.3 km away and Saigon Railway Station 1.8 km, so both the metro and the main rail terminal are a short ride from the hotel. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5 km away, and the hotel's airport shuttle covers that transfer, which suits arrivals with luggage. The Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 300 m away for coach journeys.

Several museums are nearby. The War Remnants Museum and the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum are both 1.4 km away, and the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City is 1.7 km away. Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River is 2.2 km away, and the Saigon River Tunnel 2.5 km. Tao Dan Park, 950 m from the hotel, offers a green break between visits. For a longer outing, Crescent Lake is 5.8 km away and the Star Light Bridge 6 km.
