Botanic House Saigon

Botanic House Saigon is a guest house in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with private bathrooms in every room and a quiet alley setting about 350 m from Ben Thanh Market. It suits travellers who want to explore central District 1 on foot. Every room has air conditioning, soundproofed walls, a flat-screen TV and a desk, and the bathrooms are fitted with a shower, bidet and hairdryer.

The rooms range from 20 m² Superior Double Rooms with a double bed to 30 m² Deluxe rooms. The Deluxe Double Room has a large king-size bed, the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony adds a balcony, and two Deluxe Double Rooms with Extra Bed add a sofa bed beside the king-size bed for up to four guests. The property has a lift and a shared kitchen for guests.

There is no reception desk: guests receive their own door keys, so the expected arrival time should be given in advance when booking or with the contact details in your confirmation. Non-smoking is in place throughout the property, and guests can use dry cleaning and an iron.

Botanic House Saigon has four room types across six rooms, and every room comes with a private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofed walls. The Superior Double Room, at 20 m², has one double bed and a bathroom with a shower, bidet, hairdryer and slippers. The Deluxe Double Room, at 30 m², has a large king-size bed in the same well-equipped bathroom, and the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony adds a balcony to a similar layout.

Two Deluxe Double Rooms with Extra Bed are 30 m² and sleep up to four guests: each has a sofa bed beside a large king-size bed and a seating area. They differ in their television, with cable channels in one and streaming services in the other, so the room you choose depends on what you want to watch. Both suit families or small groups travelling together.

Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, toilet, hairdryer, slippers and towels, and the rooms come with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, soundproofing and hardwood or parquet floors. A desk, a fan, an iron, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a clothes rack complete the in-room equipment.

Shared facilities include a lift, a shared kitchen and dry cleaning, and free WiFi is available in the rooms alongside internet services. Each room has a private entrance, the property is non-smoking throughout, and no parking is available on site.

Taken together, the private entrances, soundproofed walls and air conditioning give each room a self-contained feel, and the desk and refrigerator make longer stays easier, while the shared kitchen gives guests a place to prepare their own food.
