My wife & I stayed here for 4 nights and have no complaints whatsoever. Even though the room we booked was quite pricey (USD28) compared to the other backpacking places in the vicinity (USD 18-25), we thought it was worth the few dollars more simply because of the very friendly & caring staff. Thuy especially was a gem. All the... more

This is a great and very inexpensive back-packer style hotel in a very good location in Saigon. As other reviewers have noted, the best thing about the hotel are the people that work there. Very helpful and friendly. We stayed there on our way to Cambodia and had no hesitation in rebooking for the stay on our way back home.... more

We stayed at the Blue River for 3 nights in October and the service made the difference. Thuy, the ever-present front desk-clerk (from early in the morning until late at night) really made the difference. She is wonderfully helpful, has a great personality and very good English. It was the interactions with her that made the Blue River special. Speaking... more

Spent a week in this little hotel, the two girls working there are very very friendly and welcoming.

Blue River is located in a small laneway off a mainstreet which houses many other similar hotels including Bich Duyen. We found the hotel to be very clean, with reasonably spacious rooms even though we took... more

We’ve reviewed a few places on here now and have usually just written it as we have gone along. Hopefully this will have been sufficient and may have helped fellow travellers. However, we are going to use a type of template for this and future reviews to attempt to keep it more uniform, compare places “like for like” and ensure... more

We found this hotel difficult to find as it was located down a little back ally, but once we did find it we thought we were pleasantly surprised. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Ho Chi Min City but far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of the streets that meant we were not bothered by... more

This hotel is in a quiet alley - a welcome getaway from the chaos of Saigon. The rooms are clean, well lit, and breakfast includes an egg, bread, and coffee. The best part of this hotel is hands down the staff. They are kind, make an effort to remember your name, and will do everything in their power to make... more
