Sai Gon 1979 Hotel

Sai Gon 1979 Hotel is a hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned dormitory rooms, a sun terrace and a garden. Both room types are dormitory rooms of 25 m², each with a single bed, so the hotel suits solo travellers who are comfortable sharing a room and want to stay in the city centre.

Every room has air conditioning, soundproofing, parquet floors, a seating area and a socket near the bed, and the beds are extra long, over 2 metres. Shared facilities include a kitchen, a bar, an outdoor dining area and a tour desk, with free WiFi in the public areas. Guests can use private or express check-in and check-out, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.

The hotel is on Cong Quynh street, 100 m from Thai Binh Market and 150 m from the Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.4 km away and Saigon Railway Station 2.2 km. Guests rate the staff highly, and value for money is also a strength of the property.

Sai Gon 1979 Hotel offers two room types, and both are dormitory rooms of 25 m² with a single bed for one guest. The first is an eight-bed dormitory room, while the second is a female dormitory room, so the two differ in who shares them rather than in size or bed. Both rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, which keeps them quieter than the busy street outside.

The two rooms share the same equipment: parquet floors, a seating area, a fan, a socket near the bed, a wardrobe or closet, a drying rack and a clothes rack. Toilet paper, linen and a towel are provided, but extra towels or sheets carry a fee. Each bed is extra long, over 2 metres, so the beds are longer than a standard single.

The shared spaces at Sai Gon 1979 Hotel are mostly outdoors. The sun terrace, the garden, a terrace with outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area give guests places to sit away from the street. Indoors there is a bar, and a shared kitchen is available for those who want to cook their own meals.

Practical services include a 24-hour front desk, private and express check-in and check-out, a tour desk for trips around the city, currency exchange, a cash machine on site and a laundry service. Internet services are offered as well, and free WiFi is available in the public areas.

The hotel has no parking available, so guests arriving by car or motorbike need to plan for that before they arrive. Air conditioning and soundproofing are standard in the rooms, and the non-smoking rooms are among the options if you prefer a smoke-free stay.

Sai Gon 1979 Hotel stands on Cong Quynh street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City. Coffee bars and restaurants are around 50 m away, among them G5 Restaurant & Lounge, Bánh Mì Anh Phán and Tap Out Vietnam. Thai Binh Market is 100 m from the hotel and the Bến xe Sài Gòn bus station is 150 m, so food and everyday shopping are a short walk away. The hotel's own garden and sun terrace offer a quieter place to sit once the day's walking is over.

The Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.4 km from the hotel and Saigon Railway Station is 2.2 km away, so most arrivals complete the last stretch by taxi or ride-hailing car. The hotel has no parking available, so drivers should arrange a place to leave the car before setting out. Ben Thanh Station is 1 km away, and the bus station at 150 m is the closest point for coach travellers arriving from other provinces.

For sightseeing, the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is 1.1 km from the hotel and Tao Dan Park is 950 m away, so a morning walk through the park can be combined with a visit to the museum. The War Remnants Museum and the Ho Chi Minh City Museum are both 1.5 km away, and Nha Rong Wharf, on the Saigon River, is 1.9 km away, which makes it a good place to end a walk with a view of the river.
