Song Anh 3 Hotel

Song Anh 3 Hotel is a 2-star hotel in District 1, the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms and free Wi-Fi. It suits independent travellers who want a practical base within walking distance of the markets and the parks, and who plan to see the city on foot, by taxi or by metro.

The rooms range from an 18 m² Standard Double Room to the 25 m² Deluxe Triple Room, whose windows look over the park. Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower and a flat-screen TV, and every category has either a minibar or a desk. Two room types have no window at all, the Small Double Room and the Economy Triple Room, so they suit guests who do not need natural light.

The front desk, open round the clock, offers laundry services, currency exchange and luggage storage. Guests tend to praise the friendly, attentive staff and the cleanliness of the rooms, and the building has a lift and daily housekeeping.

Song Anh 3 Hotel has five room types, all with air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, measuring between 18 m² and 25 m². The two doubles have one bed each: a large king-size bed in the Standard Double Room and an extra-large super-king bed in the Small Double Room. The Superior and Deluxe Triple Rooms combine a single bed with a king-size bed, while the Economy Triple Room has one large king-size bed and sleeps up to three guests.

The rooms differ mainly in size and windows. The Superior Triple Room is larger than the Standard Double Room and has a desk, and the Deluxe Triple Room, the largest at 25 m², overlooks the park. The Small Double Room and the Economy Triple Room have no window but include a walk-in shower and an electric kettle, which suits guests who do not need a view from the room.

Song Anh 3 Hotel runs a 24-hour front desk, with daily housekeeping, a lift, a garden and a wake-up service. Ironing is offered, luggage can be stored at the front desk, and laundry services and currency exchange are available at the hotel. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are offered, with a designated smoking area, while CCTV in the common areas, key card access and 24-hour security cover the building.

In the rooms, you will find a private bathroom with a shower, a bidet, a toilet, free toiletries, towels and slippers, together with air conditioning, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a desk, a clothes rack and a drying rack for clothing. For entertainment, there is a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and Wi-Fi is free in all areas of the hotel.

There is no parking available at the hotel, so arriving by taxi or metro is the practical choice.

Song Anh 3 Hotel is on Le Lai street in the centre of District 1, a short walk from Ben Thanh Market, which is 150 m away. The market is one of the city's best-known covered markets, with stalls selling clothing, souvenirs and food. Ben Thanh Station, the start of Metro Line 1, is 100 m from the hotel, and the Pham Ngu Lao backpacker area, with its guest houses and bars, is about a 5-minute walk away. Several cafés and restaurants lie within 50 m on the street, among them The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and a halal restaurant.

Saigon Railway Station is 2.4 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5 km, both reached by taxi. The Saigon bus station (Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn) is 950 m away on foot. From Ben Thanh station, Metro Line 1 runs to Suoi Tien in Thu Duc in about 30 minutes.

On foot, Sri Mariamman Temple, September 23 Park, the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum and Independence Palace are the nearest sights, the palace 650 m away. Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River and the War Remnants Museum are each about a kilometre away, so a walking route through the centre can take in several of them. The Ben Nghe Street Food stalls (700 m) are a good choice for an evening meal.
