I read about this hotel from a tourist's blog and called the hotel to book a room. Chanh assured me several times it's very quiet. This was important as I had stayed in a hotel in Hanoi that was just above the really noisy streets, and which had noisy guests and where the doors' slamming echoed loudly. I was sceptical... more

Bich Duyen was the first place that we stayed on our trip to Vietnam. We booked a room here due to the praise it received on this website and we were not disappointed. We stayed in two different kinds of room during our stay here. The first was a very large room (with a double and a single bed) for... more

I had just return from my trip at Ho Chi Minh city on Monday, 28th July which happened to be my birthday. As this was my first solo trip and in conjunction with such a meaningful day, looking for the perfect place to stay was very important and this place had it all. The room is clean, people are friendly,... more

Great breakfast, all incredibly clean and in the backpackers area close to shops that we found FAR better than the markets. We stayed in some really... more

I stayed at Bich Duyen for two months last year while I was in HCMC adopting a child. I went early and went on several tours that were arranged by Chanh. My mother traveled with me--we got the outside room on the second floor so she wouldn't have as many steps to climb. The staff was fantastic--after I finally picked... more

This guesthouse is situated in a quiet alley from the Pham Ngu Lao Street. The receptionist speaks very good English and is very friendly. The single room was very small with no outside window, but spotless clean. A good thing was that in the bathroom, you have a door that sperates the shower from the toilet and washingstand. Most of... more

We stayed 5 nights at the Bich Duyen Hotel. Breakfast was adequate and the Manger Chanh was fantastic!. Chanh booked day trips for us and spoke and understood english. From his first Hello as "Good Morning" to his last "See YOU Later Alligator". Nothing was too much trouble for him, he carried our bags up the stairs for us cooked... more
