Very budget friendly and good location

If budget is important The Rice Hotel is a good choice. Staff is great, food is good and room is clean and comfortable. It does need a face lift but considering all my 3 night stay was very good.

Lovely place to stay and it was very central. That said, because it was so central to the nightlife you could also hear the street life until late. Overall I would recommend staying here but just be aware of the noise late at night.

Awesome stay, clean room, no bugs, professional and friendly staff. Good price, good food, overall excellent experience and highly recommend. Area is a bit loud but it's downtown Ho Chi Minh, so it cannot be avoided.

I enjoyed my stay at the Rice Hotel very much! The staff were extremely kind and helpful and the breakfast menu was quite expansive and tasty! I would like especially thank Ms. Peony, who is a great Hotel Manager there, for accommodating me with a lovely room. My room was very clean and spacious. I have to say that my short stay in Vietnam and wonderful people there want me to go back there again soon. I’ll make sure to definitely book with the same hotel again next time I travel to Vietnam!

Wonderful Stay with Great Service! I booked two rooms with a friend and requested that we be placed on the same floor. The hotel went above and beyond by upgrading one of the rooms free of charge just to accommodate our request! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always checking in to see if we needed anything else to make our stay more comfortable. The hotel is clean, and the location is lively. If you're a traveler looking for nightlife and a vibrant city lifestyle, this is the place to be! I 100% recommend it — especially for #solotraveler. Truly impressed by their hospitality — I would definitely stay here again!

Rice hotel is very accessible around the city. A lot of restaurants nearby and nightlife. The room was clean and roomy. The only problem is theres no elevator for people only for luggages. Other than that, we were so happy during our stay.

Good location if you want to be close to the Walking Street and shopping. I didn't try breakfast so I couldn't rate that. Room was small, but it was comfortable.

8/10 Very good

Staff was really helpful and large clean room. People have commented on the lack of elevator already (there is one for luggage). It is adjacent to a very busy, touristy street, crowded until late in the night. So if you are looking to sleep early, go somewhere else or bring ear plugs. As an FYI, breakfast is 50 meters away (no big deal) and takes ~30 minutes between ordering and eating so factor that in if you have a tour scheduled.

Staff were very kind, courteous, and helpful. No elevator. Steep stairs to go up & down. Not good for elderly. "Open" shower area; no curtains. Everything gets wet: bathroom floor and toilet. Lots of restaurants around the hotel area. Approx 1/2 mile walk to the market place.

6/10 Good

The room was ok but very basic looking. Not a big fan of the shower being very close to the toilet. They would only provide very small bottles of shower gel. When I asked for more they only gave one more. They tried to give a reason why only one but due to language barrier I couldn't understand. The breakfast was tasty but it only consisted of one meal and one drink (not good if you need lots of caffeine in the morning). Much prefer a buffet. No views of the city. The staff were nice and I paid a little extra to check out at 6pm which was very helpful. The main reason to stay here is the location. It has many bars, restaurants and shops very close by.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at this hotel. ALL of the staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Every time I would pass thru the lobby, the staff would ask me if there was anything I needed…every single time. It is a small older hotel that is similar to those around. The carpet on the stairs and hallways is a bit warn. But as soon as you enter your room, the bed sheets, comforter, pillows, and towels are extremely white and clean. You are 1/2 block away from Bui Vien Street, so of course you are going to hear music until late at night, that is just common sense. But that didn’t seem to bother me at all. The breakfast is served at an actual restaurant on the corner of a busy intersection about 1 minute walk from the hotel. The breakfast is ordered off a menu and it’s nice to sit and people watch as you’re eating. I had my laundry done at a place about a minutes walk from the hotel. Also took a bus to a beach and that was only about a 5 minute walk to where I was picked up. The location is perfect. I normally don’t spend much time at all in hotel rooms, so it was perfect for me. I would absolutely stay there again. You just can’t beat the price.
