Kansas Hotel & Apartment

Location is very centralised with a nice bath tub. Quite noisy at night though and facilities aging. No lift, high stairs.

Terrible location, terrible service. You won't be able to sleep here. Don't book it. Cheap, but not worth it, even at a low price. Very difficult to find. Host doesn't answer the phone to help with check in. Extremely noisy. The bar girls in the street right next door scream out loud together at every potential client who passes. There's also very loud music all night. The building is old and there is damp in the walls. Big bars on the windows and limited light due to this being a tiny alleyway. Disgusting old and worn out towel (see picture) They offered a different room for second night but it also looked out onto the same street. Then they were very inflexible and kept the money for the second night, even though I checked out, and even though I mentioned the problem more than half a day in advance.

This hotel is located inside HCMC Japan town, which has lots of Japanese restaurants, bars, and massage parlors. You can experience two cultures at once, Japanese and Vietnamese ones. It is pretty convenient to go anywhere HCMC has to offer, mostly within walking distance. Eating places, tourist highlights, and is near the river. The hotel owner is pretty nice, she even helped me to pay the grab driver since I did not have Vietnamese cash with me at the time. Because of its location, it is pretty noisy almost all night long, unless you are a party person you can hear all the girls yelling "massage" all the time and you can take it as a sweet plus or an annoying downside. It is a little hard to find the place, normally taxi/grab will only drop you off at the Japan town entrance
