HONG CUC Hotel

HONG CUC Hotel is a city hotel in Cho Lon, the old Chinese quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, about 3.6 km from the city centre, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and free private parking on site. It suits travellers who want a practical base in District 5 rather than a resort. Every bathroom has a bidet and free toiletries, and the rooms are furnished with a desk, a seating area and a flat-screen TV.

The two room types are a Deluxe Double Room of 20 m² with a large king-size bed and a Twin Room with View of 30 m² with two single beds, sleeping up to four. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, daily housekeeping, room service, concierge service and car hire, and a lift serves the upper floors.

Hypoallergenic bedding, refrigerators, electric kettles and free toiletries add practical comfort. Check-in starts at 12:00 and check-out is by 12:00. The airport is 5.2 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.8 km, so the hotel suits short stays with onward travel by air or rail.

HONG CUC Hotel has two room types, both air-conditioned and with a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and free toiletries. The Deluxe Double Room is the smaller one, at 20 m², built around a large king-size bed for two guests. The Twin Room with View is the larger option at 30 m², with two single beds, a sofa and a seating area, and it sleeps up to four guests.

The difference lies in the layout as much as in size. The Deluxe Double Room keeps the bath or shower, bidet and hypoallergenic bedding in a compact space. The Twin Room with View adds a view, a wardrobe, a hairdryer and a private entrance, so it suits groups or longer stays where more room to sit matters.

Parking is free and private on site, though a reservation is needed, and WiFi is free of charge in the public areas. The 24-hour front desk is backed by 24-hour security and offers private check-in and check-out, concierge service, daily housekeeping, room service and car hire.

A lift serves the upper floors, and an entire unit is wheelchair accessible. Inside the rooms you find air conditioning, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a desk, a clothes rack and a seating area, with hypoallergenic bedding and extra long beds of more than two metres.

Communication and comfort include a flat-screen TV with cable and satellite channels, a telephone and internet services, a fan, an iron and a trouser press, plus free toiletries, towels and slippers, and baby safety gates are also provided.

HONG CUC Hotel is on Ngo Gia Tu street in Cho Lon, the old Chinese quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, about 3.6 km from the city centre. Cho Lon lies in District 5, and its older streets are known for Chinese-run shops and temples, so the area rewards slow exploration on foot. Chùa Giác Thanh pagoda is 100 m away, the Church of St Joan of Arc 150 m, and Van Lang Park 200 m, all within a short walk. An Dong Market is a short walk further on.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.2 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.8 km. Saigon Railway Station is the southern terminus of the national rail line. Two bus stations are close by: Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Vĩnh Viễn at 1.1 km and Bến xe Quang Tỷ Sài Gòn at 1.4 km, both serving long-distance coaches. A taxi is the simplest option from the airport with luggage, and the hotel can arrange car hire for trips further afield.

For sightseeing, the War Remnants Museum is 3.5 km away and Tao Dan Park 3.2 km. Closer, the FITO Museum of traditional Vietnamese medicine is 2 km away and the Di tích lưu niệm Chủ tịch Hồ Chí Minh site 1.3 km. Quán Cơm Hằng and Quán Cả Cần are restaurants a short walk from the hotel, and the Quan Ca Phe The Wall Coffee café is closer still. The Zoo and Botanical Garden is further out, best reached by taxi.
