Planet Homestay

Planet Homestay is a 1-star hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms that have private bathrooms and city views. The four double rooms measure 18 to 20 m² and share a flat-screen TV, a desk and free toiletries, so the hotel suits couples and solo travellers who want a simple, well-kept base in the centre. Every room has a private entrance.

Reception staff speak English and Vietnamese, and guests praise their helpful service and assistance with luggage. Free WiFi is available in all areas. The hotel also offers room service, laundry, ironing and dry cleaning, express check-in and check-out, currency exchange and a paid airport shuttle. There is no parking at the property, and check-in is from 14:00 with check-out until 12:00.

Ben Thanh Market is 950 m away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport 5.4 km, so the central setting is practical for sightseeing and for airport transfers.

Planet Homestay has four double rooms, and every one of them comes with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, along with city views and a private entrance. Three rooms are 20 m² and have a large king-size bed, while the Standard Double Room is the smallest at 18 m² and has a double bed. The rooms share the same basic comfort, so the choice comes down to size and extras.

The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is the only room with a balcony, which gives you a view of the city from outside. The Deluxe Double Room and the Standard Double Room both have a wardrobe, an electric kettle and a tiled floor, and the Superior Double Room shares the 20 m² size and large king-size bed of the two Deluxe rooms.

Free WiFi is available in all areas of Planet Homestay, and every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower or bath, free toiletries, towels, slippers and a hairdryer. Rooms also come with an electric kettle, a wardrobe, a desk, a socket near the bed and a flat-screen TV, and internet services are offered.

The hotel offers express and private check-in and check-out, key access, currency exchange, room service, laundry, ironing and dry cleaning. An airport shuttle is available for a charge, and the property is non-smoking throughout, with non-smoking rooms and an allergy-free room.

Rooms have a private entrance and a tile or marble floor. There is no parking available at the property, and smoke alarms, fire extinguishers and a carbon monoxide detector are installed.

Planet Homestay is on Đường Phạm Ngũ Lão in District 1, in the backpacker quarter around Pham Ngu Lao. The Cộng 127&129 venue on Bui Vien street is 150 m away, and the pagodas Đình Ông Quan Thánh and Chùa Phước Hậu are both 150 m away. Happy Bar, Rooster Beers and 30 Billiard Bar are all 50 m away, so the nearest cafés and bars are a minute's walk from the door. Bui Vien street is a few minutes on foot, so a late return from the bars is easy.

Ben Thanh Station, 850 m away, and the Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station, 150 m away, make public transport close. Saigon Railway Station is 2.2 km from the hotel and Tan Son Nhat International Airport 5.4 km, and a taxi or ride-hailing car covers both. The property has no parking available, so guests arriving by car should plan where to leave it before they reach the hotel.

Ben Thanh Market, 950 m away, is roughly a 12-minute walk and the place to browse for handicrafts, textiles and street food. Tao Dan Park, 800 m away, is a green place to walk in the morning. The War Remnants Museum is 1.3 km from the hotel, and Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River is 1.7 km, which makes a walk to the river and back a full morning out.
