The I Am Saigon hotel truly became a revelation for me! The most vivid impression was meeting the manager, Kim—her warm reception and readiness to assist with any issue made me feel not like a guest but rather like a dear friend. The hotel proved to be a real haven, where one can escape the noise of the big city and enjoy tranquility. The shower in the room was simply splendid: modern, convenient, and especially valuable, refreshing after a hot day. The breakfasts, although not the most hearty, were prepared with soul and provided a pleasant start to the new day. The morning meal charged me with energy and positive emotions, which was invaluable for starting a day full of discoveries. The hotel is an oasis of comfort and peace, where every corner is thoughtfully designed for maximum relaxation. I love the spaciousness and light in the rooms, and the morning breeze on the terrace, where breakfast is served, fills me with new strength. It was important for me to feel the local flair, and the hotel offered this opportunity by being located in a quiet area, which allowed me to immerse myself deeper into the life of the city. I also want to mention the availability of Wi-Fi, which is important for planning my trips to local attractions. All this is just a bit of what makes I Am Saigon such a special place for me.

the shower pressure wasn’t great but did the job. the room heats up quick in the Saigon heat but when you get the aircon or fans (which are quite loud )working the room is comfortable.

lovely staff who helped us at any opportunity, the breakfast made for us was delicious. the pool and gardens are beautiful and a great place to relax after a busy day in Saigon. the location is very local and would be good for those wanting to experience non touristy vietnam, the neighbourhood was also safe and it was relatively easy to find food and stores like 7/11 for water.

This is a wonderful place to stay and if you could experience it for yourself, I am sure you won't regret it. Iamsaigon is a tranquil oasis in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s off the beaten track with an endless amount of options for authentic food and the perfect choice for the traveller ready to immerse into the everyday life of the locals. It is a truly peaceful homestay which is hosted by a lovely, friendly couple that do their utmost to help you enjoy and cherish the daily life in this bustling city. The beautiful staff that help them will always greet you with a smile no matter how busy they are, which might seem trivial, but it is nice, and you can't help but greet them and smile in return. What could be nicer than staying in a place where people are smiling and friendly all the time? Even before arriving, we got a sweet message from our host Kim who wished us safe travels. Her note made us feel so welcome in Vietnam and set the tone for our entire trip. We got a personal reception and could always turn to Kim and her lovely staff for recommendations and support. A traditional Vietnamese breakfast is lovingly prepared and served every morning, and the presentation and quality is just amazing. Gourmet-style street food served every day (not Sunday) with your choice of beverage, cà phê sữa đá is the only logical choice in my opinion, is a great way to start the day! The menu is different every day and I take great pleasure in sitting and waiting to see what is on the menu for that day. The simple things in life are often the best. Free laundry also a hug bonus for traveller those days. As an aesthetically sensitive person, it’s generally a struggle to find stays that are easy on the eyes without being flamboyant. Kim’s homestay, however, is absolutely stunning. It’s lush with all the greenery and has beautiful and simple decor and soulful details. When the front door closes behind you and shuts out the busy city, how's the serenity?

Only personal preference - the mattress and pillows were a little firm for my liking.

The home stay is a little paradise in the city. The pool and communal areas are great, Kim is an amazing host who will help with anything you need and we liked the location being out of the tourist area. The room was comfortable and the shower is amazing.

No negatives

Loved to stay at IamSaigon because of the friendliness and service offered by Kim. The location outside the tourist area was exactly what we hoped for, to be able to wander in an authentic Saigon area. The room is simply decorated, bed was good (not very large) and the shower has complete glass walls, nice to have dry floor for the rest of the bathroom. Aircon and fan did a great job. Wifi is good. Water and mini fridge in the room (several supermarkets in walking distance). The common area (breakfast terrace, hammocks etc) are lovely and quiet when we were there. There are trees and greenery everywhere making it like an oasis. The swimming pool is amazingly refreshing. Contact with Kim through whatsapp was very handy, always fast and kind.

Wonderful stay at I Am Saigon. Kim is very helpful and the place is amazing. Little out of the city center to get the perfect calm and authentic neighbourhood that we are looking for when travelling. Clean, cozy and great pool to refresh after a hot day in Saigon.

We enjoyed the swimming pool and the tasty breakfasts (only one option but very nice). Also we stayed here since it was closed to the airport and we were allowed to stay around the pool after check-out the last day. Staff was really friendly and also supplied us with a list of good places to eat (which is nice since to location is outside the center and tripadvisor is not really working).

We loved our stay at IAMSAIGON. The homestay is gorgeous. We were able to check in early, shower and relax in our lovely room after arriving on a very early train (a wonderful honeymoon gift). The breakfast was something different each morning and always filling. The lovely pool and washing machine were a huge plus.

Stayed in October 2023

Not bad, but be aware that you will have to pay your stay directly when you arrive and the staff is not always around so on sundays there is no breakfast.

The homestay is pretty close to the airport. We had a flight delay but the communication with Kim and Huan was really good so we could check-in late. The room was very clean and had air conditioning. The common are is lovely and you can hang out at the pool and read. We had a lovely breakfast with coffee, banana pancakes and fresh fruits. If you like to prepare a snack there is also a small kitchen area.

Amazing common space with a relax atmosphere in the middle of the city, where you can barely hear the traffic and great people working there, always willing to help.

The homestay is extremely well organized and has a calm and relaxing atmosphere even though it’s quite big and many people stay here. You can find two/three shared kitchen areas, a big common area with the homestay‘s beautiful pool. Our room was small but definitely enough space for a few days. There even is a small workout area you can use freely. We felt very welcomed and taken care of during our stay. Late checkout until 8pm was possible for a 400k fee which was very convenient.

Sadly just a little far away - had to get taxis into centre - but didn’t matter too much as could get grab easily into town :)

Kim was super nice, room was perfect.

We felt like we were quite a way from the centre of the city, but this was compensated for by being in a quieter location and closeness to the airport, so it really wasn’t much of an issue.

We loved the greenery everywhere, the pool, the traditional Vietnamese breakfasts and the lovely staff. It felt very homely, which was delightful after the craziness of HCM city streets. Kim was very helpful with helping us plan our visit to the Mekong Delta and suggesting we use Grab for getting around. She directed us to the amazing bird cafe and antique cafe to fill in some time on our last morning. We thoroughly enjoyed both of these places. We would never have known about them without Kim’s suggestion.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. A little oasis in a hustling city. Room was beautiful and the bed was beyond comfortable. The pool was a lovely little reprieve during the hot day! Kim's English is fantastic and she is so helpful and welcoming. All the proceeds from this hotel go to an orphanage.
