Kato's Budget Guide to Saigon Guesthouses
ImageHello, I’m Kato. You might know me as the Green Hornet’s Asian Sidekick (or as a Soidawg alumnus). When I’m not busy fighting crime with my superior martial arts techniques, I’m out scouting budget guesthouses in Saigon. This is my guide:

These places are a few steps away from Le Pub. I checked these places out myself. I would have no problem staying in any of them.

*** These are all in the same alley as Le Pub (Registration Party):

Hong Vinh
Address: 28/1 Bui Vien St
Phone: +848 3920 1382
Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
$18 - 2 twin beds
$23/24 - 1 big bed and a twin (comfy for 3)
It’s about one year old. However, it doesn’t offer breakfast. But food is cheap here. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

Que Huong Hotel
Address: 28/10 Bui Vien St
Phone: +848 3837 4208 / +848 3837 6885
Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
$15 - 1 double bed (good for 2)
$25 - 2 double beds (good for 4 and some spooning)
Similar to Hong Vinh above. A tad older but still fine. No breakfast.

Lien Ha Hotel
(pricier option but offers breakfast & small pool)
Address: 28/4 Bui Vein St
Phone: +848 3837 5581

Many options for rooms. 2 buildings next to each other. One has cheaper rooms because it has no elevators (3rd & 4th floors might be tricky on Sunday after the tourney).
$21 & $27 - 1 double (no elevator)
$29 - 2 double beds (no elevator); good bargain for 3?
Similar rooms for the building w/ the elevator. Just add $5-8 more. There are several options with bed sizes. Make sure you tell them what you want/need. Be Specific! (2 twins, 1 double, 2 doubles?)


*** These are in an alley just behind Le Pub - (known as "mini hotel alley")

There are plenty other options. If these places run out of rooms, I can check out some more places and recommend them to you. Send me an email at kato@saigon-ultimate.com if you need help.
