Description

Lyly Hotel - Pham Ngu Lao is a 1-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, a 150 m walk from Bui Vien street, with air-conditioned rooms that all have a private bathroom and city views. The property sits in the Pham Ngu Lao backpacker area, where hostels, bars and cafés line the lanes. It suits travellers who want to be close to the city's nightlife and sights, and families who book the larger room with a balcony.

The rooms range from a 15 m² Deluxe Double Room with a double bed, to an 18 m² Double Room with Balcony, and a 25 m² Family Room with Balcony that has two large king-size beds and sleeps up to four guests. Every room has a shower, a bidet, a hairdryer, free toiletries and an electric kettle. The hotel also has a restaurant serving brunch, lunch and dinner, a terrace, a tour desk, luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk, and it offers free WiFi and an airport shuttle.

Some guests praise the central setting, the value for money and the friendly staff. Others noted that street noise carries into the rooms at night.

Lyly Hotel - Pham Ngu Lao is on Phạm Ngũ Lão street in District 1, inside the backpacker quarter that grew up around Bui Vien street. Hostels, bars and small restaurants fill the lanes here, and the busiest stretch of the nightlife is 150 m from the front door, so the evening noise of the area is part of the setting rather than a surprise. Within the same 150 m are two pagodas, Đình Ông Quan Thánh and Chùa Phước Hậu, which give the street a more traditional side during the day.

Saigon Railway Station is 2.2 km away, and the Saigon bus station, Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn, is 150 m from the hotel, which makes it the closest transport point on foot. Ben Thanh Station, the start of Metro Line 1, is 850 m away. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.4 km away, and the hotel offers an airport shuttle for the trip. There is no parking at the property, so guests arriving by car or taxi should plan to be dropped off on the street outside and walk the last few metres to reception.

Tao Dan Park, 800 m away, is a shaded green space where early risers exercise before the streets fill up. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, 950 m away, shows Vietnamese painting and sculpture, and Ben Thanh Market, 1000 m away, is the place to buy souvenirs, food and fabrics. The War Remnants Museum, 1.4 km away, is the best known museum on the city's wartime history and is about a 20-minute walk from the hotel.
