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 $25. This was probably one of the nicest rooms in which we stayed during our trip, but because we were on a budget, we decided to opt for a cheaper room for our third night. This room was $16 and just had a double bed and did feel a little bit cramped. It was located within the centre of the hotel and thus did not have any windows looking out (just one looking into the corridor). If you can afford it, then we would definitely advise going for the more expensive room (which was considerably nicer and more comfortable).

The location of Bich Duyen is great, slightly tucked away but still in the heart of all the action, and the guy who runs it is great - an invaluable source of information and advice. His English is amazing, although we did feel he was working far too hard! We were really pleased that we decided to stay here.

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, Chanh was great in assisting me with the places to go, before even I was in Vietnam and it is within walking distance to the restaurants, great street food, travel organizer, pubs and so forth.

The value of the money is there for the room and services that you get. Highly recommended.

I definitly will go there again next year and will be staying at the same place.

This was our first hotel on arrival in vietnam and our last on departure. Of the eight hotels we stayed in this was without doubt the accomadation highlight of our trip.Chanh is just an incredible person at making his guests feel at home.He is available at any time for anybody and still manages to get all those little things done to make this a great hotel.But is not all about chanh,the staff are also terrific.

My wife and I stayed at the BD Hotel on our last leg of our trip through VN. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very basic but exactly what we expected and what was described when we booked it. The hotel is a backpacker's hotel but we have absolutely no complaints. The location was down a small, quiet side street across the street from a nice park and close to the huge Ben Thanh marketplace. If you’re looking for basic lodging at a good value with nice staff the BD Hotel is as good as any.
