When deciding to travel to Vietnam my boyfriend and I wanted to stay somewhere cheap but clean. We looked up tripadvisor for some suggestions and decided to book a room at "Happy Inn" based on the good reviews on the site. Once we arrived in Ho Chi Minh we had some trouble locating the hotel, but luckily we managed to... more

Tucked in one of the alleys off the main roads, this is quite a gem. Unlike most other guesthouses in the area which have a rather dated home-ish look, Happy Inn has very modern decor, both in the lobby and the rooms. It must be pretty new as the rooms and corridors still smell faintly of the wood varnish. At... more

I spent a great deal of time searching forums and blogs trying to decide where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City. I was amazed that every place I came across had at least some negative reviews. That was until I came across the Happy Inn. I stayed there for several nights and couldn't have been more pleased. It's spotlessly... more

My wife & I stayed there during a recent holiday to Saigon. Used it as a base to travel to Mekong Delta & Hoi An. Booked via email & arranged them to have a driver pick us up from the airport. Stayed in the top floor room with large balcony. Happy Inn is in a convenient location in D1, staff... more

It's right downtown in District 1 (Saigon), has many places around it to eat and drink. Most of Saigon's sights can easily be reached from there on foot. The hotel itself is clean and everything seems to work, but don't expect fabulous views, especially if you have a room facing the back. They didn't offer breakfast with the package, but... more

What a terrible experience! I have a house in Ba Tri, in the Mekong Della and go to Saigon every week. I read the reviews and thought would try this hotel out. First the prices are a sham rooms now are going from $35 U.S. to $50 US. The hotel staff is discourteous and rude! My wife has two nieces... more

This is without a doubt the best value hotel I've ever stayed at! There are 2 branches and I stayed at the new one (Number 178) in a single room for $15 with breakfast. My room was on the 6th floor, with a LIFT (elevator)!!! The bathroom was spotless with a proper shower cubicle. The room was small but well... more

I stayed at this new hotel (40/13 Bui Vien Street, District 1) for 4 nights in Nov 2007 split by a trip to the Mekong Delta. I corresponded with them by email a few weeks beforehand. They were quick to let me know that my original request for a room with a balcony on a lower floor couldn‘t be fulfilled... more

We stayed at the Happy Inn (the newer branch at 178 Bui Vien) in November 2007 and got a room with a Queen-size bed on the 6th floor for 24$. The hotel has an elevator so it was very convenient. Our room had a small balcony facing Bui Vien street so we can always observe the interesting street life from... more
