Thanh Long Hotel - Tra Khuc

Staff was really friendly. They carried my bag inside the lobby, check-in and check-out processes were smooth, and they were really hospitable when I reported a problem with my room. The receptionists spoke sufficient English for check-in/out processes and for troubleshooting problems, had no complaints regarding that. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were soft, but the decoration pillows were firmer if you prefer firmer pillows. I had a room with a nice view but windows for some rooms do seem to point to a blank concrete wall. The AC can be set strong enough if needed. Toiletries, coffee/tea and drinking water were provided for amneities. I liked that the power outlets were compatible with multiple plug types. The breakfast buffet had good Asian style variety and was good enough if you don't feel like looking for breakfast somewhere else. I used this accomodation for an one night layover. I can highly recommend it for short stays / layovers and I'd happily stay here for longer. However, I'm not sure if the distance is a bit too far if you intend to stay for visiting HCMC.

The hotel is excellent BUT getting a taxi from the airport is almost impossible unless you pre-book (either with the hotel or with Booking, etc.)! The hotel is so close to the airport, the fare is only 60K VND and the Be and Grab drivers won't accept a fare that low. And the airport taxi rank is chaos, with dozens of people competing for each taxi. Note: The hotel offers transport for 150K, but only between 8AM-5PM, so if you arrive after 4PM (domestic) or 3PM (int'l), you may not be able to meet the driver before 5PM.

The room was nice and clean. It’s locate in a small alley so it’s not too noisy but can be a little hard to access with car during busy hours. Staff were helpful. Free water bottles every day. Buffet styled Breakfast from 6.30-9.30 is quite nice.

All is very good as usual. The breakfast is a great Asian style breakfast. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

The staff! Kim Yên and Duc Huy were especially warm and welcoming. The rooms are spacious enough. The biggest perk with this hotel is it is the closest to the airport. So, you can choose it on your way to visit other places or back home. It also has nice restaurants and cafés nearby.
